Entrance, set or both?
A flexible format for the way your event flows
In Folkestone, an entrance moves with people from a defined starting point to a clear destination. A performance set stays within an agreed area and gives guests a focused live feature. If your day would benefit from both, share the order and the time between each moment.
A useful Folkestone plan describes the result you want guests to experience: anticipation before an entrance, energy through a procession or a confident lift inside the room. We can then discuss how the format supports that result.
For a baraat or groom entrance in Folkestone, include the gathering point, expected route and who will lead the group. Explore our wedding dhol service and baraat and groom entrance guide.
DJ and venue coordination
