DJ in Monaco
for your
next event

The price depends mainly on three things: set duration, gear needed and venue logistics. Sets run 2 to 8 hours, and a club opening doesn't cost the same as a long event covering cocktail, dinner and dancefloor. If the venue already has sound, I arrive with mixer and headphones. Otherwise speakers, subwoofer, wireless mics and ambient lighting are organised with partner suppliers and quoted separately, which changes the invoice. Around Monaco and the Riviera, travel stays light; beyond that, one night on site is sometimes added. For a detailed quote, send me the date, approximate address and guest count. Reply within 24 hours with a line-by-line proposal, no obligation.

The standard booking covers 6 points: playlist prep with you beforehand, travel from the Principality, setup and soundcheck before guests arrive, full set for the agreed duration, managing transitions between key moments, and clean tear-down at the end. Depending on the package, full sound, wireless mics for speeches and dancefloor or ambient lighting are organised with partner suppliers and quoted separately. For a private event, I can also produce a mix to listen to before the big day. Not included: video projection, MC or themed hosting, stage decor. For those, I can put you in touch with trusted partners in Monaco.

The core repertoire is house in the wider sense: deep house for laid-back atmospheres, classic house with sung hooks, latin and afro when the occasion calls for it, and measured techno for the peak-times that demand it. Sets aren't set in stone. For a private event, the cocktail opening moves through nu-disco and deep groove, dinner stays on instrumental jazz or soul tracks, the dancefloor opens with classics before ramping up according to the room. In a club, I read the room from the first minutes and build the curve based on the hour and the crowd's mood, no preprogrammed setlist.

3 things help decide beyond years of experience. First: listening. Ask how the DJ builds the playlist with you and whether they really integrate your requests or just deliver a preset set. Second: quote transparency. A serious proposal details each line: duration, gear, travel, contingency terms. Vague quotes often hide extras. Third: the musical trace. A DJ who produces, releases on Spotify, Apple Music or Beatport, or plays regularly in clubs, has a technical standard that shows in the set. Before booking, listen to a few minutes of their productions or mixes.

Base is in the Principality. The standard perimeter covers Monaco and Monte-Carlo, Beausoleil, Cap d'Ail, Eze, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Menton, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, all accessible without a night on site. Wider, I play regularly in Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Saint-Tropez, and on the Italian side in Sanremo and Bordighera, sometimes with an overnight depending on the end time. For yachts leaving Monaco to the Riviera or the Balearics, logistics follow the itinerary. For international bookings (Ibiza, Mallorca, European capitals), flights and accommodation are included in the quote. The further the venue, the more useful to plan ahead: gear checked in advance and a rested arrival make the difference on set quality. Well-known addresses in the Principality include Jimmy'z Monte-Carlo, Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo and the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo; they are named as orientation, not as a list of past bookings.

Yes. I arrive with my mixer, headphones, cables and a backup soundcard. For venues without gear, I arrange sound and lighting with partner suppliers, quoted separately: front-of-house speakers, subwoofer, wireless mic for speeches and lighting scaled to the dancefloor. In Riviera villas and estates, this all-in-one package avoids coordinating multiple vendors. Setup in the afternoon, soundcheck before guests arrive, then the set runs unbroken from cocktail to dinner to dancefloor. One point of contact on site, start to finish.

For a major event, count 4 to 9 months ahead, especially between May and September. Saturdays in June and September in Monaco and on the French Riviera often go 6 months earlier. For a weekday evening, an off-season club or an autumn corporate event, 2 to 3 months notice usually suffices. For last-minute requests, still write: slots regularly open up. The earlier the request arrives, the calmer the prep: time to build the playlist, prepare announcements and, if needed, visit the venue.

Yes, it's a standard part of the work, not an extra. Beforehand, we agree on three things: a wishlist of tracks that must play, a no-go list of what to avoid, and optionally a playlist for the opening. On the day, guests can come to the booth. I fold requests in when they serve the moment, and place them elsewhere in the night if they'd break the momentum. The through-line: every guest should find at least one track that speaks to them, without diluting the set.

Yes, from a private villa dinner with 30 guests to a large reception for several hundred. The prep stays the same: we agree on the atmosphere, playlist and key moments beforehand. What changes is the gear. Thirty people around a pool is a light setup, sometimes without lighting. A private event in an estate or a corporate gala needs more solid sound and lighting that fills the space. Attention to music selection doesn't depend on size: a family birthday gets the same care as a large reception.

French, English and German, depending on the audience mix. For a private event with a bilingual family (English and French for example), I switch between the 2 languages for the few announcements that are needed. For an international corporate event, English remains the most effective language for official announcements. German comes up with the German-speaking clientele that regularly visits the Principality. Italian and Spanish aren't announcement languages for me, but Italian and Latin music is well represented in the repertoire, and on those moments, the tracks speak for themselves.

Yes, no problem. For private individuals or businesses, I issue a detailed invoice with the nature of the booking, date, event venue, amount and any applicable taxes. For a corporate event in Monaco, the Principality or on the Riviera, the invoice can be issued in the company name and sent directly to accounting, with intra-EU VAT number if needed. Payment is by bank transfer before or after the booking, as you prefer. For a private villa event, a club evening or a yacht event leaving Monaco, the invoice serves as a receipt for your accounting or a professional reimbursement. Please mention it when requesting a quote.

Yes, at VIP weddings with an open format: villas on the hillsides, hotel terraces and boats leaving Port Hercule. The set runs 2 to 8 hours and falls into three parts, each prepared separately: the cocktail hour at low volume, dinner with the music in the background, then the floor opening after the speeches. The tracks that matter to you and the list of songs to avoid are agreed in advance with you and your planner, usually 4 to 6 weeks before the date. On the day, I set up my mixer in the afternoon and run the soundcheck before the guests arrive. I stay behind the decks: no timed programme, no games, no talking on the microphone.

No, that format is not part of what I do. My job is house DJ: no games, no karaoke, no banquet repertoire and no talking on the microphone to run the evening. I stay behind the decks and build the set on how the floor reacts, track by track. In practice an evening runs like this: quiet music during the cocktail hour, background sound through dinner, then the floor opening after the speeches, all within 2 to 8 hours depending on the booked duration. If your day calls for a host or a timed programme with games, other colleagues are the better choice, and I say so in my first reply.
