For professionals
For wedding planners, agencies and venues
Most of my 130+ annual events come from professionals. Here is how I work with you, in concrete terms.
A supplier who doesn't create extra work for you
When a planner calls me they are not looking for “a good DJ”. They are looking for someone who answers messages, returns documents on time, does not argue with the sound crew, does not overrun the venue's curfew and does not turn the evening into their own show.
I have worked with planners, agencies, villas and resorts for twenty years. The value I bring is predictability: you already know how I will behave before, during and after the event.
What you always get from me
- A completed technical sheet with power draw, footprint, supply requirements and booth position, inside your production deadlines.
- A run-down in your format, not mine. If you use a shared timeline sheet, I work inside that document.
- Attendance at production calls and availability for a site visit with the venue.
- Advance verification of acoustic limits and curfews: if the villa closes outdoor music at midnight, I design the evening around that.
- A single point of contact for DJ, sound system and any live musicians.
- A replacement clause in the contract, with full transfer of the music brief.
- Proper invoicing and willingness to sign NDAs and framework agreements.

Discretion
I don't use your events as a portfolio
Many planners have a recurring problem with suppliers: content published too early, recognisable couples in stories, unagreed tags, styling details leaked before the official release.
That does not happen with me. I do not publish images or video in which clients and guests are recognisable, I do not pre-empt styling details and I do not name names. If written consent is needed for a piece of content, I ask you first.

FAQ
Questions from professionals
Do you work with wedding planners and agencies?
Yes — it is the majority of my work. With planners and agencies I use their run-down format, join production calls, return the completed technical sheet on time and provide a single point of contact for the whole music supply chain. There is a dedicated page covering the technical and administrative requirements.
Are sound and lighting included in the DJ fee?
No — they are a separate line in the quote, and there is a reason. Every venue has different needs, and bundling a standard system would either make you pay for more than you need or bring you less than you need. I can however provide everything, from the ceremony to the party, through the sound and lighting company I have worked with for years and of which I am a founding partner: professional speakers, mixers and microphones sized for the spaces and the guest count, with backups on every critical component, so music and speeches are never interrupted. The lighting design we develop together — ambient light for dinner and dance-floor effects, matched to the mood of each moment — or I coordinate with the light designer already appointed by you, the planner or the venue. Either way you receive a single all-inclusive quote and deal with one point of contact.
How do you handle noise limits and venue curfews?
I check them beforehand, not on the night. Many Tuscan villas and estates have decibel caps and a curfew for outdoor music. I ask the venue for the constraints in writing and design the evening around them, placing the finale where it works best and, where needed, running a system tuned to stay under the threshold.
Are you willing to sign an NDA?
Yes, without discussion. Many of the events I work on involve confidentiality agreements required by the client, the planner or the brand. If your event needs an NDA, send it with your availability enquiry and I will sign it before the contract.
What happens if you fall ill or something goes wrong?
The contract includes a guaranteed replacement: a network of colleagues at an equivalent level whom I have worked with for years and to whom, in an emergency, I transfer your event's complete music brief — preferences, do-not-play list, programme timings. On the technical side I travel with spare equipment for the more delicate parts of the audio chain, so a hitch is resolved in moments without the evening stopping.
How does SIAE work? Do I have to deal with it?
In Italy a SIAE permit is compulsory whenever music is played at a party, and venues always insist that it is in order: without it, both you and the venue risk a fine. The obligation falls on whoever organises the event, not on the DJ. You can apply in person at the relevant SIAE office; if you would rather not deal with it, I can obtain the permit on your behalf with a written authorisation from you. Many Tuscan venues handle it internally: it is one of the first things I check.
Do you visit the venue beforehand?
For venues I do not know, yes: either a site visit or, when distance makes that impractical, a technical call with the venue plus a sheet covering the floor plan, power points, booth position and acoustic constraints. I have already worked at most Tuscan villas and resorts and know where the pressure points are.
Are you insured? Do you hold the required certifications?
Yes. I work with full public liability insurance covering damage to people and property during the service, and with the certifications required to operate inside venues and at corporate events. Villas, hotels and procurement departments often request these documents before approving a supplier: I attach them at quotation stage, without you having to chase them. It is the simplest way to guarantee a safe, legal and thoroughly professional event.
Are you a registered professional? Do you invoice?
Yes. I am a registered professional with a VAT number, and every engagement is covered by a written contract and an invoice. I am also a founding partner of a company that supplies DJs, musicians and artists and operates as a professional sound and lighting service, with extensive experience in the wedding industry. For your event that means one contractual counterpart for the entire musical and technical side.
