WEDDING BAND BORDEAUX

Bordeaux is arguably the most famous wine region in the world. With this grandeur, beauty and prestige comes another bonus – it is also a stunning location for weddings! In addition to endless fields of grape vines, this large city in south-west France prides itself on a majestic history projected in its medieval churches and stunning architecture. In addition, Bordeaux has been enlivened in recent years by avant-garde art spaces. Along with a completely renovated harbour area, welcoming the city’s most innovative galleries. It is not easy to find a great wedding band in Bordeaux, but thankfully Four Kicks travels to Bordeaux a number of times throughout the year for weddings.

 

WEDDING VENUES BORDEAUX

Half the city is Unesco-listed, making it the largest urban World Heritage site. Saint-André cathedral, Château Rigaud, Château de le Ligne, Château Lagorce, the Gallo Roman ruins of the Palais Galien, the iconic Place de la Bourse, and the Château de la Brède – these are just a handful of the breathtaking sites on offer in this French city, which has far more to offer than their famous wine.

The city, once nicknamed Sleeping Beauty, has definitely awakened.

Live band for corporate events such as:

MIPIM

The French Riviera is synonymous with the world famous Cannes Film Festival, sun-loving celebrities and glamorous yachts. But each year it is also home to the world’s largest gathering of property professionals. It may sound less enchanting than a cinema festival, but the parties surrounding such a high-profile event are far from mundane.

Each year in March, Cannes puts on the special treatment for MIPIM. A real estate event gathering more than 21,000 of the most influential players from all sectors of the property industry. MIPIM involves four days of networking, promotion, learning and fun.

From fund managers to architects, government councillors to entrepreneurs, MIPIM Cannes is the place to be and to be seen. Multi-million euro deals are struck over expensive dinners and at sparkling parties.

MIPTV, MIPCOM and the new CANNES TELEVISION FESTIVAL

Cannes is home to two of the world’s largest television markets – MIPTV and MIPCOM. These markets showcase new TV to thousands of international attendees every year. The has also launched its own television festival in 2018. Including a co-production forum of roughly 30 teams pitching to potential funders, an online component and public screenings of series around the city.

It is likely that the TV festival will be running alongside one of the two existing festivals. It will also deliver a whole host of extra parties to be invited to and watch a live band at a corporate event.

CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

If it were not for the Cannes Film Festival, this seaside town might be just another hotspot for tourists visiting the French Riviera each year. But alas every May, the city of Cannes proudly throws out the red carpet for some of the biggest A-listers in the film industry.

It also receives the most coverage across the globe, accommodating 300 TV stations alone each year, and boasting big-name sponsors such as L’Oréal, Renault and Chopard.

CANNES LIONS

For eight days in June, thousands of individuals from more than 90 countries come together to learn, network and celebrate. It’s a diverse community of communications, marketing, entertainment, design and tech talent each with their hand in a multi-billion dollar industry. 

Covering Health, Innovation and Entertainment, Cannes Lions is known for its cluster of creativity, boasting big minds, big names and big parties. The highlight is of course the awards, with The Lion the ultimate benchmark of creative excellence. The perfect time to watch a live band at a corporate event.

MONACO GRAND PRIX

One of the highlights of the season for us is performing during the Monaco Grand Prix. We have been invited to do so since 2012, mainly on yachts. With front row tickets we are able to watch the most exciting Formula One race of the year from the boat, situated within metres from the world-famous circuit. We have been lucky enough to not only perform with the band but also provide a cocktail catering service through The Buckrider and organised the whole event with our events company Lion Stone.

It may not be the most traditional time to host your nuptials but there are many reasons why winter weddings are becoming more and more popular. In fact, some people will argue that it is the best time to get married. After all, how many winter weddings have you been invited to? And just think of all those beautiful seasonal decorations, heart-warming winter cocktails and glistening snow. Not to mention the stress-free wedding planning as all your top choices are all available on your chosen date.

But if you still need convincing of why you should hold a winter wedding, let’s outline the benefits in more detail.

THE LOCATION

Chamonix wedding 

What could be more magical than a white wedding? Chamonix is known in the world for its spectacular Mont Blanc massif, setting a sensational backdrop for this romantic destination. Every dedicated skier and snowboarder puts Chamonix on their bucket list. The charming resort sitting at the foot of Mont Blanc buzzes with a colourful, cosmopolitan crowd. The valley is filled with charming old Victorian buildings and Belle Époque architecture. There are many venues available for a religious ceremony in Chamonix, particularly the beautiful Saint Michel Catholic church in the centre of town. There are also a host of exceptional venues for your wedding reception.

Megève wedding

Megève had its beginnings as a ski resort in the 1910s when the Rothschild family started to spend their winter vacations here after becoming disenchanted with the Swiss resort of St. Moritz. Megève has been one of Europe’s most popular resorts ever since, attracting many wealthy individuals and celebrities. They are all drawn to its history, but also the charm of Megève. It is in a lovely sunny setting and has a beautifully preserved, partly medieval centre, which is car-free and comes complete with open-air ice rink, horse-drawn sleighs, cobbled streets and a fine church. Lots of smart clothing, jewellery, antique, gift and food shops add to the chic atmosphere.

The medieval church is the perfect place to hold a wedding ceremony. Built at the same time as the Priory founded by the Benedictine monks in 1085, the church consists of three parts each corresponding to a different era. It is listed as a historical monument and is one of the most original in the region. The choir, with its late gothic style, dates back to the end of the 14th century.

There are also a number of incredible venues for your wedding reception, from refined five-star hotels, to romantic chalets.

A HOLIDAY FOR EVERYONE

Who doesn’t want to spend a few days of the long winter season in the magical resort of Chamonix or Megève? Guests will be excited at the prospect of a mini-holiday in the French Alps surrounding your magical wedding ceremony and celebration.

French Riviera Yacht band

French Riviera Yacht Band

French Riviera Yacht band

Four Kicks have had the pleasure of playing a number of concerts aboard yachts on the French Riviera over the past few years. The concept of having a live party band as opposed to a DJ is becoming increasingly popular for major events during the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Monaco Yacht show. Concerns about having a party band on a yacht are quickly abated when boat crew see how careful and professional Four Kicks are with the set-up and placement of equipment on board, based on years of experience.

As event organisers witness the absolute pleasure of their guests dancing away to a live band at sea or in port, the band is now receiving a growing number of enquiries for boat performances on the French Riviera. In fact, many have revealed that they will not organise another event on their yacht without a band again!

Check out our youtube page to see us playing on a yacht at the Monaco Grand Prix.

I had the privilege of being interviewed by luxury magazine The Best Of the Riviera this summer. In the article, I talk about my experience as a musician in the private sector but also about my agency, Lion Stone Events, which provides cover party bands for private events in France, particularly on the French Riviera and throughout the world! Check out our website: www.lion-stone.com

 

Party band on the French Riviera

Our party bands are based in the south of France (Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Antibes) and also in the UK. The bands can travel anywhere and adapt to any event. Lion Stone Entertainment is a leading source of talented musicians and can provide the highest quality entertainment for your party. Music is essential to the success of any event and we make sure guests remember your event for many years to come – and for all the right reasons.

 

Check out the interview:

Why did you make the move from pub band to private events performer?

Through word of mouth we performed at more and more parties until we reached a certain status as one of the very few rock bands on the French Riviera that is asked to play at private events every weekend, here and throughout Europe.

Was this an easy transition?

Switching to private events requires more investment: expensive equipment, lighting, and time for rehearsals… there is always such a high standard to maintain. And you must tailor your event to specific requirements: a villa party, a wedding, or a performance on a yacht.

Surely rock bands aren’t made for precious yachts?

We have actually been asked to play more often on boats as people realise that it is very possible. We did a yacht gig during the Monaco Grand Prix and everyone was having such a great time, they forgot to watch the race!

“We love our lifestyle”!

It must be a fun job, playing in a rock band?

It is enormously satisfying to always be at the centre of a party. The job takes us to amazing places and countries that we would otherwise never normally see, and we get to meet interesting people and celebrities.

But it’s not all fun and play?

It may only be a three hour gig, but for a private event it’s a 15 to 20 hour shift, taking in the travel time, set up, sound check, etc. Ultimately, we consider ourselves very lucky to be successful in an industry where many people don’t make it. After all, do you know many jobs where you can stage dive, lose your shoes in the crowd and land on a fire-lit bar? We love our lifestyle!

What is the secret to the perfect performance?

As long as the crowd can see we are having fun on stage, everyone is happy and having a great time. They feed off our performance and energy. It’s a winning formula. Most people say they will never plan a party without a band ever again.

Apart from performing as lead singer in Four Kicks, you also manage a number of different bands?

I manage Spyglass – who has been recognised as the most polished, professional band for private events for a number of years now, as well as a whole range of artists – from soloists to jazz bands. Basically, as a musician, I know so many people in this industry that it is only natural that I would coordinate them all and connect talented musicians with private events.
