Weddings & receptions in Mâcon
Gypsy jazz between the Saône and the Mâconnais
Between the banks of the Saône and the hills of the Mâconnais, the Mâcon area has no shortage of châteaux, estates and characterful venues. This is wedding country: people marry in places with history, often across several spaces — a courtyard for the cocktail hour, an orangery or a barn for dinner, a hall for the evening.
That split changes everything for a band. The running order has to be thought through space by space, and the setup often has to move between two moments. We prefer to discuss it beforehand, even if it means suggesting a smaller line-up at one point and the full band at another. We bring our own sound system: nothing to arrange or hire on your side.
We play in Mâcon, across the Mâconnais and throughout Saône-et-Loire, where we are from. And we are not limited to the department: we travel throughout France and Europe.
For your ceremony or cocktail hour, explore our wedding line-ups. For cultural programming, see our concerts and festivals.
The full range of line-ups, from duo to quintet, and what we prepare beforehand is on our weddings page.

The châteaux and estates of the Mâconnais
We play regularly in the châteaux and estates around Mâcon.
A château wedding is rarely held in the same spot from beginning to end. That is its charm, and its difficulty: every space has its own acoustics, its own volume and its own audience. We work the running order out with you beforehand — which line-up at which moment, where to set up, how much time is needed in between — so the music follows the day without ever slowing it down.
How the day runs
A wedding across several spaces, and music that follows
The ceremony
A civil ceremony in the grounds or the courtyard of a château: the entrance, the vows, the exit. Played acoustically, with the repertoire timed to your running order.
The cocktail hour
Often the longest moment of the day, and the one where we add the most. A light line-up is enough to hold a courtyard or a terrace.
Moving from one space to the next
On the estates of the Mâconnais, guests often move between the cocktail hour and the dinner. We build that transition into the running order rather than discovering it on the day.
Dinner and the early evening
Background music during the meal, then a fuller set as the evening starts. We do not cover the dancing later on, nor the first dance.

Frequently asked questions
Playing in the Mâconnais, in practice
Do you play in the châteaux and estates of the Mâconnais?
Yes, regularly. These are venues we know, with their own constraints: several spaces, acoustics that differ greatly from one room to the next, and sometimes travel time to allow for between two moments of the day.
Which moments of the day do you cover?
Civil ceremony, cocktail hour, drinks reception, early evening: we accompany whichever moment you wish, or several. The line-up and the volume adapt to each one — playing during a ceremony and accompanying a cocktail hour call for neither the same intensity nor the same repertoire.
Can we request a particular piece?
Yes. We are happy to prepare a special piece — the couple's arrival, a moment in the ceremony — if it is requested far enough in advance. The setlist is tailored to each event in any case.
Can we hear you before booking?
Yes. The Media section on this page brings together four tracks and four videos: it is the best preview of what the band sounds like in real conditions. For a specific project, we can also point you to a recording closer to the line-up you have in mind.
