A wedding welcome lunch in Saint-Tropez
A welcome lunch gives guests time to settle into a wedding celebration. People arrive, reconnect and get to know one another before the next part of the stay. Music gives those first hours a sense of place while leaving room for conversation.
At Villa Bellazard, the garden and pool provided the setting for this gathering. Surrounded by greenery, Nicolas Lacaille performed at the vinyl bar for Mix & Light. The format invited guests to play a part in the afternoon’s soundtrack.
Two hours of records chosen by the guests
For the first two hours, guests chose the vinyl records. Browsing sleeves, recognising a song and deciding what to hear next became part of the gathering, with Nicolas behind the decks bringing their selections to life.
The vinyl bar gave the music a physical presence. Guests could see the records, share a choice and join in at their own pace. It created an opportunity to connect through music within the relaxed rhythm of a welcome lunch.
From guest selections to a Saint-Tropez house set
After those two hours, Nicolas took over the musical selection to create a house atmosphere with a Saint-Tropez feel. The lunch moved into a new musical phase, now shaped by the DJ’s own programming.
Moving from an interactive vinyl experience to a house set gave the event two distinct chapters. It reflects Nicolas Lacaille’s approach to private celebrations: allowing the music to develop with the occasion, from the first conversations to a more rhythmic atmosphere.
An aquatic performance by Apsara Events
The welcome lunch also featured a synchronised swimming show by Apsara Events. The photograph captures the performers in the foreground and Nicolas at the decks behind the pool. The aquatic show and the vinyl bar were separate contributions to the same celebration.
A vinyl bar for a French Riviera celebration
For a wedding welcome lunch, cocktail reception or private gathering, a vinyl bar invites guests to help shape the music. It can be an experience in its own right or lead into a DJ set, as it did at Villa Bellazard.
