Early Days
In the early 1990s, our founder, Peter, traded London drizzle for Riviera sunshine. A summer job with a stack of records turned into something bigger: a drive to create events filled with energy, personality, and moments people still talk about years later. Music was the starting point, and the heartbeat of everything that followed.
Independent Spirit,
Riviera Expertise
Our story began with two turntables and a passion for music. Three decades later, that same spirit drives an independent company built on creativity, trusted relationships and deep local knowledge. Independence gives us freedom: to move quickly, to work closely with partners we know personally, and to design events that truly fit.​
​
The Riviera dazzles with its glamour, yet its quirks can be just as defining. We have lived them, learned them, and turned them into strengths for the people we work with. And while this coast is our home, our work has also taken us further afield: from France, Italy and the UK to destinations as far as Morocco, Malta, the Maldives and more.
Our Philosophy
That independence is guided not just by experience, but by a philosophy that puts people first.
​
Events are always about people. The plans, logistics and designs only matter if they create moments of connection and joy. We work with kindness, clarity and integrity, knowing that the smallest details often make the biggest difference.
​
As P. T. Barnum once said, “The noblest art is that of making others happy.” That is the standard we hold ourselves to in every celebration we create.
​
Over the years we have worked with families, global brands and international agencies alike. Whether the brief is intimate or high-profile, our goal is always the same: to design experiences that matter.

Still Guided by Music & Joy
Entertainment is in our DNA. Riviera Organisation began with music, and that love for creating atmosphere still shapes everything we do. The right performance at the right moment can electrify a room, draw people together on the dance floor, and leave guests talking about the night long after.
​
Over the years, we have worked with everything from world-class DJs and classical ensembles to headline artists. It has never been about collecting names. It has always been about creating moments that feel extraordinary for you and your guests.
​
One evening at the Negresco in Nice captured this perfectly. On the same stage were Roger Daltrey from The Who, Don Felder from The Eagles, and Dame Edna Everage. It sounds like the start of a joke: rock royalty, a guitar legend and a comedy diva walk onto a stage, but what followed was pure magic.
That unlikely mix of glamour, fun and surprise is exactly what we love to deliver. Because in the end, entertainment is not just an element of the evening, it is the soul of the celebration.
