Crillon-le-Brave, at the foot of Mont Ventoux
A five-star hotel of a dozen 17th- and 18th-century houses around the church of Crillon-le-Brave, facing Mont Ventoux. We plan an event here hour by hour: the afternoon the sun keeps, and the evening we bring.
Hour by hour
The sun keeps the afternoon. We keep the evening.
Crillon le Brave is a village before it is a hotel: blonde stone, Virginia creeper, lanes between the houses and Ventoux on the horizon. We bring both halves of an event here, the entertainment and the production, planned as one, scaled to an intimate celebration and to a village that carries every sound.
01 · Late afternoon
Ceremony
The Madeleine terrace, facing Ventoux
A ceremony facing Mont Ventoux.
On an open terrace, we choose musicians whose sound carries without amplification where it can, and provide discreet sound for the vows and readings, so every guest hears them.
Entertainment
- String trio
- Harp
- Solo voice with guitar
Production
- Discreet ceremony sound
- Microphones for vows and readings
Where · The Madeleine terrace, or a space the hotel offers for your date.
02 · Golden hour
Cocktails
Between the old houses
Music between the old houses.
As the shadows lengthen, we set a small acoustic act where the stone carries it without raising voices, and begin to light the walls and the creeper from the ground.
Entertainment
- Jazz duo
- Acoustic guitar and voice
- Strolling musicians
Production
- Sound for the terraces
- Warm light on the stone as the sun goes
Where · The hotel's terraces or its quiet corner, as agreed with the hotel.
03 · Nightfall
Dinner
La Table du Ventoux and its terrace
Dinner after the sun has gone.
On the terrace or inside, we light the tables and the stone around them as one composition, and pace the music and speeches to the courses.
Entertainment
- Pianist or singer between courses
- A performance before dessert
- Live first dance
Production
- Table and terrace lighting
- Sound for speeches and performers
Where · La Table du Ventoux and its panoramic terrace, or a space the hotel offers for your date.
04 · After dark

Then the village turns to dancing.

Entertainment
- DJ with live saxophone or percussion
- Acoustic set into DJ
- A Club Coda after-party
Production
- Dance-floor sound and lighting
- Bespoke DJ booth

From us
Light for the stone
Blonde stone and creeper take warm light beautifully. We light the walls and terraces from the ground, nothing fixed to the houses and nothing coloured for its own sake.
A village, not a venue
The hotel's houses sit within a living village. We set levels and timings with the hotel's team, so the party carries for your guests and no further.
Sized to the guests
For an intimate wedding we keep the production compact: fewer, better-placed speakers and lights, so nothing outweighs the room.
