DJ in Saint-Tropez
for your
next event

Every quote is custom. Three main factors set the price: set length (2 to 8 hours), gear needed (nothing if the venue already has sound, often the case at the Pampelonne beach clubs and the larger hotels; otherwise speakers, sub, mics and lights, hired from partner suppliers and quoted separately), and venue logistics (access, timing, security constraints). On the peninsula and around the gulf, travel adds almost nothing; towards Cannes, Nice, Marseille or Corsica I sometimes include one night on site. Send me the date, venue address and expected guest count, and within 24 hours you receive a transparent line-by-line quote, no obligation.

Six things covered by default: prep call to build the playlist together, travel from Saint-Tropez to the venue, on-site setup and soundcheck before the first guests arrive, full set for the booked duration, managing transitions between phases (cocktail, dinner, opening of the dancefloor), and clean tear-down at the end. The package can be extended with full sound (speakers, sub, mics) and ambient or dancefloor lighting, organised with partner suppliers and quoted separately. On request for a long event: a custom mix produced in studio that guests can listen to before the big day. Not included: video projection, MC-style hosting, themed evenings, stage decor. For those, I work with a network of trusted local partners I can recommend.

House in all its forms (deep, classic, latin, afro) with detours into disco, soul or techno depending on the mood and the crowd. Nothing set in stone. For an event opening, nu-disco or deep groove that lets guests talk; dinner sits on instrumental jazz, soul or quality ballads; the dancefloor opens with crowd-pleasing classics before ramping into club energy if the room is up for it. In beach clubs or clubs, the set is built in real time, reading the dancefloor: hour, energy peak, the exact makeup of the crowd in front of me.

Not just years of experience. Three angles to check before signing. First, the attitude towards your project: a good DJ asks questions about your world, the tracks that matter, what you absolutely don't want to hear, and they don't sell a preformatted set. Second, quote transparency: a serious document lists every line (set duration, gear included, travel, handling of unforeseen), no grey zones. Vague quotes often hide surprises on arrival. Third, the artistic signature: a DJ who releases own tracks on platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, SoundCloud) or plays regularly in recognised clubs leaves an audible trace. A few minutes of listening gives you a concrete idea of the technical level before you commit.

Base is Saint-Tropez. The gulf perimeter is covered without a night on site: Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle, Gassin, Cogolin, Grimaud, Sainte-Maxime, La Croix-Valmer, Cavalaire-sur-Mer. Wider, in the Var and on the French Riviera: Saint-Raphaël, Fréjus, Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco, sometimes with an overnight depending on the end time. For yachts leaving Port de Saint-Tropez to the calanques, Porquerolles, Corsica or the Balearics, logistics follow the itinerary. International (Ibiza, Mallorca, European capitals): flights and accommodation included in the quote. The further the venue, the more useful to plan ahead. Well-known addresses in the area include Club 55 in Ramatuelle, Nikki Beach on Pampelonne beach and Les Caves du Roy at the Byblos; they are named as orientation, not as a list of past bookings.

Yes, I always arrive with my own setup: mixer, headphones, full cabling and a backup soundcard for unexpected technical issues. For venues that don't have on-site audio, I arrange sound and lighting with partner suppliers: front-of-house speakers, subwoofer, wireless mics for speeches and dancefloor lighting scaled to the space. That rental is quoted separately. This arrangement fits especially private villas in Ramatuelle or Gassin and the country estates of the Var hinterland, where it avoids coordinating multiple vendors. Setup happens during the afternoon, soundcheck before the first guests arrive, then the set starts and runs unbroken from cocktail to closing. One point of contact on site, from start to finish.

For a major event in Saint-Tropez, the ideal is to contact me 4 to 9 months ahead. June through September is the busiest season. Saturdays in July-August are often booked 6 months in advance, same for summer weekends when the peninsula runs at full capacity. Off-season (weekday, autumn, winter, early spring), 2 to 3 months notice usually suffices for a club, beach club or corporate event. For last-minute requests, still write: slots regularly open up due to postponements. Earlier booking simply leaves more time to tune the playlist, prepare the announcements and visit the venue if needed.

Absolutely, it's part of the work, not an add-on. Prep goes through three lists agreed with you: must-play tracks you absolutely want to hear, tracks or styles to completely avoid, and where relevant a signature selection for the opening. On the day, your guests can come talk to me directly at the booth for a request. If it fits the mood of the moment, I fold it in; if it would break the current momentum, I offer a better-fitting equivalent or place it at a more suitable moment later in the night. The principle: every guest should find at least one track that speaks to them, without the coherence of the overall set breaking down.

Absolutely, from an intimate villa dinner with 30 guests to a large private reception for several hundred, the peninsula covers both ends of the spectrum. The prep method is the same for every format: we define the overall atmosphere, build the playlist, identify the key moments to mark. What varies from one format to another is the gear: for thirty people around a pool, a compact setup is enough, sometimes without particular lighting. For a large private reception or a corporate gala, you need more solid sound and stage lighting to fill the space. Attention to music selection doesn't depend on size: a family birthday gets the same programming care as a large reception.

Three announcement languages: French, English and German, depending on the audience. Saint-Tropez attracts very varied binational families (French-English, French-Italian, French-German) and I switch languages for moments where a vocal announcement actually matters, the key programme moments. For a corporate event with an international audience, English remains the reference for official speeches, and the music itself carries the vibe without needing words. German mainly comes up with the German-speaking clientele on the peninsula during the season. For Italian and Spanish I don't have the fluency level, but Italian and Latin music is widely present in the repertoire, and on those moments, the tracks speak for themselves.

Yes, on request. I issue an official invoice for private individuals as well as businesses, listing the nature of the booking, date, event venue, total amount and applicable taxes. For a corporate event on the Saint-Tropez peninsula or in the Var, the invoice is issued in the company name and sent to accounting, with SIRET or intra-EU VAT number if needed. Payment is by bank transfer before or after the booking, as you prefer. For a private event in a villa in Ramatuelle, a beach club evening at Pampelonne or an event on a yacht at the Port de Saint-Tropez, the invoice serves as a receipt for your accounting or professional reimbursement. Please mention it when requesting a quote.

Yes, at VIP weddings with an open format: villas in Ramatuelle, wine estates, hotels and private beaches. The cocktail hour, the dinner and the party are prepared separately, and the moments that matter are agreed in advance with you and your wedding planner.

No. I am a house DJ, not a wedding host: no games, no karaoke and none of the usual banquet repertoire. If that is the format you need, other colleagues will do it far better.
