The place serves as showroom to show the kind of services he can offer for a wedding, or any other type of event: a cocktail reception, a store opening, a company barbecue…

The posters serve as much to embellish the ceiling as to hide the fact that it was not finished! “Instead of laying white gypsum, I decided to put frames of artists and musicians,” says the DJ.

The musical influences that adorn its walls still go beyond England. “Kiss, Bob Marley, Guns N’Roses, it really represents the music I play at my weddings, and at my events too,” says François Marchand.

The lamps on either side of the divan, an example of which can be seen here, date from the 1950s and come from Spain. He bought them from a widow for whom the lamps brought back too many memories; he promised to take good care of it.

“I can put all the colors I want here. When the clients come, I tell them: look at the red, what it looks like, or the blue, the green… I can show the colors they will have in their room. »
