What Prestevent does

Prestevent is a French event production company founded in 2010, headquartered in Sallanches in the French Alps with a second base in Cogolin on the French Riviera. The company operates two integrated service lines: artistic production, encompassing the booking and management of DJs, musicians and performers from a curated roster described at 100+ artists, and technical audiovisual production covering staging, sound, lighting and related show delivery. Supporting these lines are two adjacent products: Location Prestevent, an equipment rental offering that monetizes the company's internal audiovisual fleet to third parties, and La Shake Box, a photobooth rental service extending the offering into event content capture.

The company reports delivery of 120+ events and 1,000+ artist bookings per year, built on a 15-year operating track record and a portfolio of named luxury and corporate clients that includes Rolex, Cartier, Hermès, Hublot, Audemars Piguet, Mercedes, L'Oréal, P&G, Nestlé, Netflix, Crédit Agricole and Club Med. Beyond standalone event production, Prestevent has embedded itself into recurring venue programming in St Tropez and Megève (Le Quai, Les Palmiers, Noto, Ferme St Amour, Chacha, Chalet Sauvage) and states the ability to deliver internationally following existing clients.

The business model combines project-based full-service event production for enterprise and luxury clients with venue programming partnerships and utilization-based equipment rental. Pricing is event-by-event rather than subscription, with no disclosed recurring SaaS or retainer structure. The company is privately held and founder-operated, with no disclosed external funding, no acquisition activity, and limited public financial information.
