Three ways to work with us

Recommend us for the sound and light, or for the whole evening.

    Alongside your team

    Where you have in-house or appointed AV, we add what isn’t kept on site, from DJ equipment to backline, and work through your technicians.

Your recommended AV supplier

One name to give your clients, and one standard every time.

When a planner or a couple asks who to call for sound and light, the answer should be easy. We learn your rooms, gardens and terraces once, agree a setup for each, and bring it to every event you send us, tested in Nice before it leaves.

  • One answerEvery planner and client who asks gets the same name, and the same standard.
  • Your spaces, knownSystems specified for each of your spaces, so nothing is guessed at on the day.
  • Any briefFrom a microphone for speeches to a live band and a headline DJ.

Where a venue has its own or an appointed supplier, we never offer an alternative: we add what isn’t kept in house and work through your team.

  • Limits and curfews

    Planned into the music from the first conversation, not discovered on the night.

  • Access and timings

    Load-in and load-out to your schedule and access routes, with one contact for your team.

  • The house itself

    Floors, gardens and historic rooms: wireless lighting where cables shouldn’t run, and every space left as we found it.

Coda / Places

Venues, studied closely.

Our guides to venues across Provence and the Riviera show how we read a house before we work in it: its spaces, its arrangements, and how we would approach each.
