Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is one of the most popular locations for destination weddings, and for good reason.
The charm of this forested peninsula between Nice and Monaco, the world-class cuisine and art scene, and many luxury wedding venues are just some of the factors that make Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat such a hotspot for tying the knot.
When it comes to hiring a live wedding band in Cap Ferrat, it can be difficult to find exactly what you want for your special day.
In general, couples who head to Cap Ferrat for a destination wedding want a band that plays covers of British and American pop, rock and indie music (as well as some funk and soul thrown in for good measure).
Usually couples hire a cover band from the French Riviera to perform at their wedding in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, as there is a huge amount of talent in the region. FixTheMusic is proud to represent all of the popular and most-booked party bands on this iconic stretch of coastline.
On FixTheMusic, bands always provide quotes directly to you with a clear breakdown of costs so you can make an informed decision – no other costs are added, and once you’re happy to book, you can pay securely online via card.
