Domaine Rocabella
Entertainment and production, facing the sea.
Le Pradet, facing the sea near Toulon
A creative residence on the sea at Le Pradet, near Toulon: a hamlet of villas, terraced gardens, pools and a private cove, and a historic villa, La Folie. We produce the whole event here, from the ceremony on the Belvédère to the last song in the Temple.
Above and beneath
What your guests see, and what makes it work.
Above the waterline, the ceremony on the Belvédère, the music by the pool, the party in the Temple. Beneath it, the sound, light, power and timing that make each one effortless. At Rocabella we provide both, planned as one, so the surface stays calm.
01 · Le Belvédère
Ceremony
Above the sea
A ceremony with the sea behind it.
The Belvédère looks straight out to sea. We choose musicians who carry in the open air, and give the vows and readings discreet sound, so the wind and the water never take the words.
String quartet · Harp · Solo voice with strings
Beneath the surface
Discreet ceremony sound · Microphones for vows and readings · Sound planned for wind and open air
Le Belvédère, overlooking the sea; or before La Folie's southern terrace.
02 · The infinity pool
Cocktails
Its edge against the horizon
Music at the water's edge.
Cocktails gather at the infinity pool, where its edge meets the sea. We set a live act where it carries across the water without raising voices, and plan the light for when the sun goes.
Jazz trio · Acoustic duo · Saxophone and DJ at sunset
Beneath the surface
Sound across the pool terrace · Lighting for the turn to night
The infinity pool, with its panoramic view of the sea.
03 · La Corniche
Dinner
Or under a tent on the Terrasse Orientale
The table, turned to the sea.
Dinner faces the sea at La Corniche, or sits under a tent on the Terrasse Orientale. We light the tables and the setting as one composition, and pace the music and speeches to the courses.
Pianist or singer between courses · A performance before dessert · Live first dance
Beneath the surface
Table and setting lighting · Sound for speeches and performers · Tent lighting and power, where used
Facing the sea at La Corniche; or under a tent on La Folie's Terrasse Orientale.
04 · Le Temple
After-party
A bar and a dance floor, on two levels
Then the Temple, until late.
The party moves to the Temple, its bar and dance floor across two levels. We build the night around a DJ and live musicians, with sound and lighting for both levels, a bespoke DJ booth and scenic.
DJ with live saxophone or percussion · Show band · A Club Coda after-party
Beneath the surface
Sound and lighting across both levels · Bespoke DJ booth and scenic · Technical production
Le Temple, with its bar and a dance floor over two levels.

From us
Sound for the open air
Much of the day is outside and by the sea. We plan sound for wind and water, so the music carries where it should and stops where it should.
From the sea to the Temple
The day moves from the Belvédère and the pool to La Corniche and the Temple. We plan the light for each, so every move feels like the next scene.
Calm on the surface
Performers, sound and light come from one team, so everything beneath the surface is planned together and your guests see only the celebration.
