TESTIMONIALS
Thomas was recommended to us by our wedding venue as a DJ that is best for every possible taste and style. And we are incredibly happy that we have received this recommendation. From the very first moment we spoke on Skype and followed his Instagram account, it was clear that we are totally in tune. His approach to preparing for the D-day is very clever. We shared our playlists on Spotify, so Thomas could really get an idea of what our tastes and expectations for our wedding are. Closer to the date we made our lists of top 20 songs that we definitely want to hear. There were some extremely beautiful moments, when we could spontaneously sing along with our friends to some old songs connected to some of the most important memories we have Thomas was attentive to the smallest details each second of the wedding dinner and the party: volume and the playlist was adjusted according to the vibe, microphone magically appeared when it was needed and Thomas suggested from time to time to put a special song on, all such suggestions were spot on.
Apart from appreciating Thomas as a professional, we really love him as a person, he is very attentive, sensitive, funny and smart. We could not wish a better DJ and a friend helping us on the most important day of our lives, so far.

“Let me just start by saying, Thomas were AMAZING! Even before hearing his music and dancing to his mixes late at night I noticed his positive energy, very respectful communication and demeanor and willingness to read the crowd - that made me feel very at ease and happy. Always checking in with us and our guests to make sure we had what we needed, and his all-around smiles were appreciated!
The music combination was EPIC! Exactly what we wanted, a mix of old soul and new. Connecting with us before the wedding via email/skype to establish our likes and dislikes in music and working so smoothly with the sax player and our MC.
We especially appreciated that Thomas played a very unique version of a special song (to us) by Jay Z and Kanye West, "Ni**as in Paris". Fun fact, as it turns out my now-husband happen to proposed in the same hotel room in Paris where this song was apparently composed... :) and having him play a unique spin of that song at our wedding was just so-so special!! Thank you.
You made our wedding very memorable and fun. Music is a big part of any celebration and having you as our DJ was simply one of the best decisions. It was very lovely to meet you, and we sincerely hope that we will work with you again (some of our friends are thinking about a destination wedding in Provence, so fingers crossed! :)

“Décontracté mais chic, discret, très souriant, rassurant et à l'écoute !
Thomas nous à été vivement recommandé par notre organisatrice de mariage... Et nous la remercions pour cela.
On a passé une soirée extraordinaire, aucune fausse note et Thomas a fait l'unanimité !
Il a compris ce que l'on souhaitait et aimait.
Merci infiniment Thomas et j'espère qu'on pourra se recroiser pour des fêtes de folie !!!”

Raphaël and I were thrilled to have Thomas at our wedding not only because has been a longtime friend, but also because he’s a dream to work with. He took a lot of time helping us with the songs to make sure the party would be an absolute blast. We totally trusted him because he’s an outstanding professional with thriving musical culture. For me, a good DJ has to know music. Thomas knows music better than everyone on the dancefloor but he’s never greater than his audience, he is in equal parts performer and listeners.
I highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for an amazing musician/dj in the south of France.
Thomas, thanks so much for making me dance until the curtain fell. Thanks for being part of one of the most important day of our lives !
Kathrin & Raphaël
"Thomas is a class act, a great DJ and wonderful human being.
Every part of our engagement with Thomas before and during our wedding was fantastic! From our first Skype conversation to get to know each other, to the wedding day, he was professional, thoughtful, fun and charming. We were planning our wedding from afar and he made the process feel so easy. On our wedding day, he was incredibly attentive; he checked in with us multiple times during our prep for the wedding, offering help where he could, and skillfully prepared a setlist that fit our style perfectly. He was open to suggestions and really helped to personalize the entire evening. This was especially notable as he subtly played Etta James' "At Last" following an epically long father-of-the-bride speech with which we all shared a laugh. As the night progressed he quickly had everyone on the dance floor, young and old, playing a great mix of modern, classics and oldies well into the early morning hours. We cannot thank you enough, Thomas! We recommend you to everyone who is looking for a fantastic DJ and wish you the best with your family. "

"Coming from Los Angeles we were very nervous about finding an appropriate DJ in France who would be contemporary enough to entertain all our US guests. Music was central to our wedding and we really wanted to have a lively party that went all night where people wouldn't get off the dance floor. We were recommended Thomas and what a recommendation he was! He was absolutely fantastic and kept the party going in full force till 4am! He blew any preconceptions we had about getting a local DJ out of the water. Thomas is truly phenomenal at what he does and i had many many guests come up to me and comment on the evening and for weeks after about how good he was. Thomas would be at home in any of the top clubs in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York or Ibiza. We wanted the vibe of the music to change over the course of the night and Thomas synced this with perfection...even ending with hip hop and Thomas scratching! Our guests loved it.
In addition to his talent Thomas was a dream to work with. He listened to and followed everything we wanted and genuinely cared that we got what he wanted. He is flexible and super knowledgeable. We also used Thomas for our farewell brunch the day after. Again, he completely superseded our expectations bringing an energy and enthusiasm to the festivities which dramatically elevated the event. We cannot thank Thomas enough for giving us the best party of our lives and being beyond a pleasure to work with. If you do just one smart thing for your wedding or event, hire Thomas. You will not regret it!"

"We were thrilled to have Thomas DJ our wedding – he crushed it and kept the dance floor full all night! In addition to having a stellar playlist, Thomas was extremely personable, hospitable, organized and attentive to all our requests, dating back to our first discussion months ahead of our wedding. He made the evening an absolute blast for not only us but for all our friends and family. We can’t say enough amazing things about his work and professionalism – there wasn’t a single guest who didn’t love his selection! We look forward to working with Thomas again in the future and absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to host their wedding in the Riviera! Thanks for the great memories, Thomas."
Anita & Mats
"Thomas, thank you SO much for being our DJ. Honestly, best wedding DJ ever – not saying that because it was mine, just that I go to a lot of weddings (as I’m sure you do!) and I thought the party was the longest / craziest of them all!! Also though, special thank you for the extra mix for the fireworks… just perfect!!!"

"We had the great pleasure of having Thomas as our DJ for our wedding last September on the French Riviera. In the months leading to our wedding, Thomas was always keen to discuss playlists and musical choices, comforting us with his great professionalism. But in addition to being an excellent DJ, Thomas has a wonderfully warm and cheerful personality, showing great care and commitment way beyond his official duties to make sure that the evening unrolled seamlessly! Thomas truly is as smooth as a Frank Sinatra tune, as funky as a James Brown beat and as entertaining as a Michael Jackson jam!"
Marie & Aymeric
"Wow! That's all we need to say. From the very first Skype conversation, Thomas was spectacular. He is extremely charming, thoughtful, and very professional. Throughout the process, we felt that Thomas really cared about our wedding plans. For our rehearsal dinner, he played the right music for the atmosphere and at the perfect level. At the wedding, he had everyone on the dance floor, mixing up the music so that everyone felt that they could partake. He was extremely energetic and made the whole vibe of the wedding fun and exciting! I would 100% recommend Thomas for your wedding entertainment in the French Riviera. We had a blast thanks to him!"
"We loved having you as our DJ! You were truly phenomenal!"

"We had a gifted team surrounding us on our wedding day and we are so lucky that Thomas were one of those people! He got the party started and kept guests dancing all night long! Our guests continue to rave about his talent. From the dinner music to the dancing, it was all perfect. Thomas is a true professional, but also caring and so fun! We can't quite get over how perfectly he created a story of music representing our lives throughout the evening, absolutely wonderful
Thank you forever for helping to make our wedding celebration so unforgettable."
Allison & Tim
“We had the best day of our lives! All of the entertainment was first class – from Lizzy Parks singing during the ceremony/cocktail hour, Phly Boyz playing during dinner and then Thomas as DJ in the evening. Thomas was great to work with and interpreted exactly the kind of music we wanted for the party. We never left the dancefloor and the atmosphere was amazing. The end of the night was brilliant, will never forget all our guests shouting ‘one more song!!’. The whole event was truly memorable and everyone had a blast - we have some lifetime memories to look back on. Thank you so much!”
Jane & Simon
"From our very first introductory conversation with Thomas many months before our wedding day we knew he was the DJ for us. From our special requests, including some rather unusual South African music, to our strict black-list, nothing was too much trouble. Correspondence was hassle-free & prompt and Thomas’ enthusiasm, vibrant personality and eagerness to DJ on the day boosted our excitement!
On the day, his choice of ambient music created exactly the right atmosphere throughout dinner that we were already receiving positive guest comments even before we hit the dancefloor – and from both our younger and more senior guests.
Thomas played pretty much all of our requests, gauging the mood perfectly & building up the party keeping everyone raving till gone 4am! If we, as the bride and groom, made quick change requests they were honored instantly, and without being in any way obtrusive, he kept a close eye on us to ensure we were always happy – which we absolutely were! We received so many fantastic compliments and the general consensus from nearly all of our guests was that it was the best wedding party ever - which we can’t thank Thomas enough for! We highly recommend you book Thomas for your wedding celebration and are incredibly envious that you have this amazing party yet to come! "
Victoria & Matthew
"For our wedding, one decision was never in any doubt – we needed to have Thomas as our DJ.
We had seen him play at two weddings previously and knew that he would do a fantastic job. He was very friendly and made the planning process seamless, even though we were across the other side of the world. On the wedding day, he was great to have around. When the weather changed our plans, he adapted very quickly and didn’t miss a beat. He even saved our seating plan from the rain – going well above and beyond what he was there for!
Our wedding would not have been anywhere near as fun without Thomas. He knew exactly what to play and when. The dance floor was filled until the very end of the night (~4am) and many of our friends could have kept the party going!
We would highly recommend him to any future bride and groom."

"We wanted to thank you for and awesome day in Lourmarin. You really delivered beyond our expectations. We loved working with you. With your easy going personality, great musical knowledge and best équipement, it quickly became evident we had chosen the best Dj for our wedding. Everyone had a blast and couldn't stop saying how you always played the right music at the right time. Thank you for all you did, making this day memorable."
Yan & Emmanuel
"We literally had the party of our lives. Thomas DJ'ed our wedding in Burgundy. He was professional and relaxed, reading the mood perfectly throughout the evening and building up the atmosphere to ensure all party guests were out of their seats and on the dancefloor. We had wanted to finish our wedding with a great dance party and he stayed with us DJ'ing until 5am. Preparation and organisation was easy, he was always very quick to respond to emails and sorted out his own travel and accommodation. We would not hesitate to recommend him and if we ever needed another DJ, we would want it to be Thomas! Thanks for making our wedding the party of our lives! "

"For our wedding we have worked with Lavender & Rose Weddings. When it comes to music me and Can are very picky and specific. After explaining our music taste in every detail , Kerry, our wedding planner suggested that we work with Thomas, she told us that everyone who worked with him was so happy. We decided to trust her and couldn't be any happier about our decision. Before the wedding we e-mailed back and forth with Thomas had a couple of Skype meetings, we prepared a list of songs we love and a black lists for the songs that should never be played, this was a suggestion from Thomas as sometimes guests pressure the DJ to play certain songs, he told us that be would be gentle with those types. Our wedding night was magical thanks to Thomas, we danced until the morning, even my grandmother who is 84, was on the dancefloor! Thank you for making our day perfect!"

"Thomas is simply the perfect DJ for the Lavender & Rose brides and grooms. He listens attentively to the clients' needs, respects their tastes and is really able to read his audience. It never ceases to amaze how he can keep the dance floor full from start to finish, yet still playing music to please all of the generations present. Thomas is not afraid to push the boundaries between wedding and club DJ when the situation permits. He is very approachable, open to suggestions from the clients in terms of set list and always does his homework. He never tries to impose his own preferences and places real importance on the mixing of the tracks he plays. Thomas is the polar opposite to the old school wedding DJ, shying away from the mic and performing with charisma, never arrogance. He has extremely eclectic tastes in music and is able to cater to the most international of crowds."

"Thank you for being part of our Big Day. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for your helpful advice and in taking the time to meet with us months before the wedding.Thank you for your flexibility and your guidance in making sure that we chose the best songs for the key moments. You were just amazing! It was a night to remember! You were a great company and you made sure that we danced all night to our favourite songs. Plus you are super cool and so much fun! :)We couldn't have wished for a better performance and groovier party. You rocked!"

"Thomas was far more than a wedding DJ. From the outset he understood the mood we were trying to create and drew together a perfect set with very little guidance from us. On the night, Thomas had remembered all of our favourite songs and constantly surprised us by playing them at the perfect times. We specifically asked for additional musicians which was a bit unusual, but Thomas worked with our request and our guests couldn't believe the show they put on! We can't recommend Thomas highly enough and hope to have another party in the south of France soon to work with him again!"
Catherine and Dan
"We loved having Thomas at our wedding. I would say he was " sensational" he made our day so much more special.Music is what sets the mood and the ambiance for the night, and all the guests couldn't stop raving about how good the music was. I am not only speaking about the wedding night and the dinner, but also about the Friday night BBQ it was the perfect choice of music. He listened to our taste, and did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend him to anyone having a party in the south of France."

Working with Thomas as our wedding DJ was an absolute delight from start to finish. From our initial consultation, to corresponding in the run-up to the day of, Thomas went above and beyond in really trying to understand us a people and tailoring a musical experience that reflected our tastes. Small touches including consulting with us regarding cake cutting music, entrance music and how the night was going, and if we wanted any specific songs really meant a lot and made things run smoothly. Thomas was attentive but unobtrusive, a huge addition to our celebration.
When it came to the party - the guests were going all night long from dinner until last call. Much more than a traditional "wedding DJ" we got a tailor made night from a superb professional DJ. Many of our pickiest friends specifically commented that it was the best Wedding for music they had ever been to as well as one of their best night's out. We could not recommend Thomas highly enough."
Greg & Carolina
"Thomas was our DJ at the inaugural Mimosa Ball, held at the Royal Mougins Golf Club. The event was to raise money for La Ligue contre Le Cancer; it was a smart event and required an excellent DJ.
Not only did Thomas support our cause, he was incredibly flexible and happy to work around any challenges we had with the technical set up. During the evening itself, he played a fantastic mix of music which had everyone dancing and often checked we were happy. He wanted to ensure the evening, and not just the music, went well. He is a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him."

"I cannot recommend Thomas more highly. He provided all the music at our wedding in Monaco in September 2013. He is very professional and clearly passionate about his work, which makes working with him an absolute delight. He wanted us to be happy on our big day and we, and our guests, certainly were. My only disappointment was that the music had to stop!"
Lisa & Carl Johan
"We loved our wedding. We literally had the party of our lives. If we ever need another French DJ, we will be sure to let you know! Thanks again for being such a big part of our fun.
We are also trying to convince all of our friends from Australia to get married in France so that we can have another Thomas party !"
Renata and Bryce
"Finding a DJ was one of the more obscure parts of wedding-planning. Unlike the menu or the flowers, you cannot sample every aspect of the musical entertainment! Moreover, as a Franco-British couple living in London and planning a wedding in the South of France, we had little access to local talents, and were very conscious that we wanted a vibrant DJ who could tailor his skills to a multicultural audience. After a few bumps in the road, we met Thomas : hiring him was one of the best decisions of the wedding. Thomas immediately understood what we wanted, and we immediately trusted his instinct and flare for music. Thomas's energy and skill were a great help throughout the wedding preparations, and then, on the night itself, he was absolutely brilliant. Everyone had a blast, and we had so many complements about the music and the DJ! Everyone was dancing: young and old, French and British, friends and family. Thomas managed to create a truly special and fun atmosphere. What is more, his enthusiasm, talent and professionalism are matched by his friendliness, approachability and flexibility. We would recommend him in a heartbeat! (Thanks again for everything, Thomas!)"
Ludivine & Phil
"Thanks again for the amazing job you did at our wedding. We had such an amazing day and such a fun night and your music during the dancing was fantastic. Everyone had the best time. Many thanks again for all your patience and your help, and for being such a great DJ!
Kellie and Julien
"Everyone was really happy with Thomas’ set at the Christmas party. He really took our song suggestions on board and we were all dancing before we had even finished our meals – which has to be a good thing! Everyone had a great night and a lot of it was spent on the dance floor, so lots of positive feedback all-round, and we would be pleased to recommend him."

"We were so lucky to have Thomas DJ our wedding. Prior to the wedding, we exchanged emails and he always replied in a timely manner. He was very open to our requests and made excellent suggestions of his own. Our wedding party was an absolute blast, and we have him to thank! Wedding DJs truly make or break weddings and Thomas DEFINITELY made ours. I cannot recommend him enough!"
