Our integrated, and unique to us, approach fits in perfectly with the modern wedding! A typical weekend in the shoes of the Folkololgy team looks like arriving on rehearsal day with planning materials in hand, ready to put everything into practice and build muscle memory for your ceremony the next day. We use rehearsal day to iron out any last-minute details and put into motion what your ceremony will look like. Ensuring proper song timing and feel, we want your big day to feel tailor made and perfect for you. On the wedding day, our team works together, both coordinator and DJ, ensuring all moments are executed timely and fit your vision. We collaborate with your other vendors to ensure everyone is on the same page. We are professional curators who want your wedding to be perfect, allowing you to enjoy a stress-free harmonious day capturing all these moments for years to come.

What we are not: We are not decorators nor setup/teardown crew. While we take pride in curating great vibes, you do not want us to decorate your wedding. Trust us.

Since we operate a hybrid business model, we usually set up our reception rig the night before during the ceremony rehearsal. In the event we are able to set up the night before during your rehearsal, we will then return to the venue the following day, having pre ceremony music playing at least 30 minutes before your ceremony start time. If your venue is fully outdoors for instance, or we are just unable to setup our reception rig the night before we will arrive at least 2 hours before the slated ceremony start time for setup and sound check.
