Music, equipment, entertainment, booking: everything you need to plan your wedding or event with peace of mind.
General
How experienced is Spice Events?
Spice Events has been working in events for over 20 years, with hundreds of projects for private and corporate clients. Every event benefits from that know-how, for a smooth service tailored to your needs.
What services do you offer?
We take care of the whole music and technical side of your event: sound, lighting, entertainment and coordination with your other suppliers, so that every moment runs without stress.
What kinds of events do you cover?
Weddings, birthdays, private parties and corporate events. Every project gets the same care and professionalism.
Can you work anywhere in France?
Yes, we travel throughout France. Each service is adapted to the venue, whether it's a reception hall, an outdoor space or a more unusual setting.
Can you adapt to different venues and layouts?
Absolutely. Indoors or outdoors, at a country estate or a corporate venue, we adapt the sound, lighting and logistics to each setting.
Can you tailor your services to what we want?
Of course. Music, entertainment, sound and lighting are all adjusted to your tastes, your guests' tastes and the atmosphere you want for each moment.
Weddings
How do you choose the music for our wedding?
Through a questionnaire and planning meetings, we pick out your favourite songs and tailor our playlists to the styles you love, for an atmosphere that feels like you and that your guests will enjoy too.
What happens if a guest requests a song?
We try to play it, unless it goes against your instructions or would clearly empty the dance floor. Sometimes we simply wait for the right moment to play it.
How late does the party go on?
We stop the music at 4 am at the latest, unless the venue's rules require an earlier finish or you ask for extra hours.
Do you use the microphone?
Only as much as you'd like. Microphone work is there to interact with your guests and lift the energy — not to sing, add echo effects or talk all night. If you'd rather do without, that's absolutely fine.
Can our best man, maid of honour or planner contact you?
Yes. Your wedding party or wedding planner can get in touch with us directly about the music, entertainment or coordination, so that surprises and key moments are perfectly prepared.
Do you work with the other wedding suppliers?
Yes, we coordinate with the venue, the caterer, the photographer and the wedding planner, so that every highlight is perfectly in sync.
Planning & booking
How does planning with Spice Events work?
It all starts with a conversation, in person or by video call, to understand what you want and what you need technically. Then come the planning meetings, sign-off of the running order and coordination with your suppliers before the big day.
How do I get a quote?
After that first conversation, we send you a clear, tailored proposal that fits your budget.
Do you offer several packages?
We offer a single, complete package, which you can enhance with a premium option. We'll walk you through the details in our first conversation.
Can you recommend other suppliers?
Yes. For anything we don't provide ourselves (musicians, a magician, fireworks…), we'll point you to trusted partners we love working with.
How do we book our date?
Simply return the signed quote along with a deposit of 50% of the total. Your date is then secured and we move on to the planning.
Do you support us from the very start?
Yes. We look at your needs, advise you on the music and lighting, and plan the whole running order with you.
Are you there for the whole event?
Yes, our team is there from start to finish to run the sound desk, the music and the entertainment, continuously and discreetly.
Equipment
Do you provide all the equipment?
Yes — sound, lighting and entertainment, in partnership with MX Événement. Everything is tested before each event, and we bring replacement equipment to cover any eventuality.
How do you handle technical problems on the day?
We anticipate them: full tests before every date and backup equipment on site. If anything happens, we step in immediately so that the music and entertainment carry on without interruption.
Can you provide sound for several spaces at once?
Yes: drinks reception, stage, dance floor… Each space has its own sound and lighting equipment, with the right atmosphere and a consistent feel throughout.
Are there restrictions for venues with smoke detectors or sound limiters?
For smoke detectors, yes: we don't perform in venues fitted with sensitive detectors, as they compromise the visual effects. Sound limiters don't stop us from performing, but we advise against choosing a venue fitted with one: the sound is cut or capped as soon as a threshold is exceeded, and the whole atmosphere of the evening suffers. We always check the venue's constraints beforehand.
Entertainment
What does the vinyl bar add to a party?
Your guests become the DJ for a few songs. It's an original, hands-on activity that gets people talking and creates a unique atmosphere.
Why choose an audio guestbook?
It turns your guests' messages into living memories: voices, emotions and words you can listen to again and share.
How does the photo booth fit into the atmosphere?
It becomes a meeting point of the evening: guests let loose, create spontaneous moments and leave with printed or digital photos. It suits every style and theme.
Are cold sparks and low fog suitable for every venue?
Not always: some venues have sensitive smoke detectors, which aren't compatible with these effects. We check the venue's technical constraints before setting anything up.
Can fairy lights be installed indoors and outdoors?
Yes: in a hall, garden, terrace or courtyard, they create a warm, elegant atmosphere and blend in with your decoration.
Corporate events
Do you work on corporate events?
Yes: seminars, galas, product launches… We offer a turnkey service, with rigorous organisation and an atmosphere that reflects your company's image.
How do you make sure our event is a success?
We focus on a smooth flow, coordination between suppliers and music suited to the format, the objectives and your guests.
Can you include speeches or key moments?
Yes. Speeches, award ceremonies and screenings are built into the technical and musical running order, so that every important moment gets the spotlight.
Can you adapt the service to our company's image?
Absolutely. We tailor the music and visual atmosphere to reflect your brand's identity and values, in keeping with the tone of your event.
