In the vibrant landscape of contemporary underground electronic music, few narratives resonate with the romanticism and creative synergy of DJs Lulah Francs and Demi Riquisimo. Known professionally for their infectious energy behind the decks and respective cultural imprints, the couple—off-duty known as Tallulah Pittam and Richard Main—cemented their three-year romance in October 2024 with a celebration that married the rustic soul of Ibiza with the avant-garde aesthetic of high fashion.
What began as a chance billing at a Tottenham club night in 2021 evolved into an inseparable creative and personal partnership. Their journey culminated in a multi-day Balearic wedding masterclass hosted at Can Sakhara, a newly unveiled luxury estate on the White Isle designed by the bride’s mother, interior designer Ali Pittam, alongside collaborator Roberta Jurado.
Balancing the sacred traditions of a historic Spanish church ceremony with the pulsating, late-night hedonism native to their profession, Pittam and Main curated an unforgettable affair. From a bespoke bridal look inspired by Dolce & Gabbana’s iconic 2015 collections to a clandestine, pop-up nightclub christened "DC11" for the evening’s final hours, the wedding stood as a testament to their shared history, artistic vision, and deep community ties within the global dance music ecosystem. This comprehensive retrospective explores the trajectory of their relationship, the meticulous architectural and stylistic curation of their wedding, and the enduring legacy of a celebration that redefined modern destination nuptials.
Detailed Chronology
The Genesis: Tottenham, Peckham, and Fast-Tracked Romance (2021)
The foundations of Pittam and Main’s relationship were laid in the crucible of London’s post-lockdown club scene. In 2021, both artists were booked on the same lineup for an underground club night in Tottenham. While sharing the green room and the stage, an immediate rapport was established.
Their mutual appreciation for crate-digging and vinyl culture accelerated their courtship. One of their earliest official dates took place in Peckham, meandering through local record shops—a fitting backdrop for two selectors whose lives revolve around musical curation.
"I started to help Rich with cataloguing at his record label," Tallulah recalls, reflecting on those early months. "Rich joked that it was ‘work experience,’ but really it was just a way for us to spend more time together. It sounds incredibly cringe, but we really did fall in love hard and quickly."
The Proposal: A Secret Return to Es Cavallet (October 2024)
After three years of touring, studio sessions, and building a life together, the couple traveled to Ibiza in October 2024 for a getaway that Main had quietly loaded with hidden intentions. Pittam, possessing a characteristic directness, had established a playful ultimatum.
"I’d joked that I would dump him if he didn’t propose by the end of the year, so it wasn’t a total surprise," Pittam says with a laugh.
The execution, however, was shrouded in secrecy. Main steered his partner to Es Cavallet, one of the picturesque beaches they had visited during their inaugural trip to Ibiza as a couple. There, against the backdrop of the Mediterranean, he presented a vintage Art Deco ring—a piece Pittam had fallen in love with months prior during a trip to Amsterdam. Unbeknownst to her, Main had surreptitiously returned to the Dutch capital during a subsequent solo work trip solely to acquire the heirloom-quality ring.
The Ibiza Prelude and Ceremony: Sant Agusti des Vedra
With the engagement formalized, the choice of location was self-evident. Ibiza had served as a recurring touchstone throughout their relationship. However, finding a venue that captured their eclectic tastes proved challenging until Ali Pittam stepped in. Her most recent interior design collaboration, Can Sakhara, offered an expansive, multi-zoned canvas capable of accommodating a sophisticated fluid timeline: poolside welcome drinks, cliffside terrace dining, and an ultra-private subterranean party space.
Prior to the Balearic festivities, the couple completed a legal ceremony in London. The spiritual core of their union, however, took place at the historic church of Sant Agusti des Vedra in Ibiza.
The ceremony was heavily personalized through the contributions of their creative community. As Pittam walked down the aisle, close friends Lucy Lennox and Tim Beaumont delivered a poignant acoustic rendition of The Cure’s "Love Song," accompanied by guitarist Adam Wyatt. Later in the service, Tim Beaumont performed Jeff Buckley’s haunting arrangement of "Hallelujah." Adding a distinct literary dimension to the proceedings, Mickey Down—co-creator of the critically acclaimed drama series Industry—delivered an original, abstract reading reflecting on chance encounters and urban romance.
Following the church service, the newly married couple bypassed traditional transport, driving themselves through the sun-drenched Ibicencan landscape in a classic Ford Mustang to arrive at Can Sakhara.
Supporting Context & Metrics
Fashion and Architectural Curation
The stylistic DNA of the wedding was defined by a deliberate tension between minimalist modernism and opulent, romantic maximalism. Pittam’s struggle to settle on a single bridal aesthetic led her through three distinct design directions before she opted for the understated elegance of the "Cheryl" gown by Halfpenny London. Featuring a high halterneck with versatile styling options—allowing the ties to wrap at the waist or drape loosely down the back—the dress provided a clean, liquid-silk foundation.
This minimalism was intentionally juxtaposed with accessories and conceptual references pulled straight from Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2015 runway: rich Spanish mantillas, ornamental gold jewelry, tiaras, and dark, brooding floral arrangements anchored by massive crimson roses and flickering candlelight.
Menu, Design, and Gastronomy
The reception transitioned smoothly from a cocktail hour soundtracked by legendary Spanish classical guitarist Paco Fernandez—an artist Pittam had idolized since childhood—to a sprawling family-style feast catered by La Grand Bouffe Ibiza. Rejecting formal, plated courses, the couple opted for burrata, vibrant local salads, and an array of Mediterranean seafood and meats served on sharing plates.
Breaking with convention, the couple eliminated the traditional dessert course in favor of a hyper-realistic wedding cake sculpted to resemble an explosion of fresh chillies.
The Wardrobe Transition
For the evening reception, Pittam executed a sustainable, deeply personal sartorial tribute. She slipped into her mother Ali’s 1997 wedding dress, which had been structurally overhauled by a local Ibiza-based atelier featuring alumni from the John Galliano house.
"We modernised it by making the corset really tight, cutting the pencil skirt into a mini and using some of the leftover fabric to create a ruched detail at the front," Pittam explains. "We kept the train but added lots of tulle to give it more structure. I love remaking and redesigning things that have a history, so it felt really special."
She paired the transformed vintage garment with her mother’s original Jimmy Choo shoes.
Official Statements
The wedding was punctuated by emotional tributes, chief among them a mother-of-the-bride speech that broke with tradition. Ali Pittam, characterized by her lifelong aversion to public speaking, collaborated with her son and a professional videographer to pre-record her address.
The resulting video was broadcast on an enormous, retractable C-Seed TV screen situated within the lush gardens of Can Sakhara.
"I had no idea what was happening and I completely lost it when it came on," Pittam reflects. "There are photographs of me with my make-up literally running down my face. It was definitely one of the highlights of the day."
Reflecting on the overarching philosophy of the event, the couple emphasized the importance of community and authenticity over rigid adherence to wedding industry tropes. By integrating their professional networks—from internationally renowned selectors to boutique set designers—they transformed a private milestone into an authentic cultural convergence.
Future Outlook
As Tallulah Pittam and Richard Main return to their respective touring schedules, label management duties, and studio collaborations under their Lulah Francs and Demi Riquisimo monikers, the October 2024 wedding remains a defining chapter in their personal and creative timelines.
The success of "DC11"—the pop-up club engineered by Can Sakhara event manager Peachy Keane, featuring heavyweight selector sets from Chloe Caillet, Scarlett O’Malley, and Make A Dance—hints at the couple’s long-term trajectory. Far from slowing down after a 3:00 AM curfew (which Pittam laughingly described as "very restrained for us"), the pair continue to push the boundaries of contemporary electronic music culture while anchoring their partnership in the deep-rooted familial and creative bonds celebrated on the cliffs of Ibiza.
In an era where destination weddings increasingly lean toward homogenous luxury, the Pittam-Main union stands as a masterclass in personalized storytelling—proving that when personal history, avant-garde fashion, and underground music heritage intersect, the result is nothing short of legendary.
