What if your guests could literally help choose the next song, find their seat with a scan, and upload all their candid photos into one place... all without downloading an app?

In this episode, we’re joined by Mark Laurent, founder of Funktion, the new all-in-one digital experience platform that’s changing how couples engage guests at weddings and events.

We chat about:

✨ The inspiration behind Funktion and how Mark built it for his own wedding
✨ Fun interactive features like song requests, live polls, photo sharing, and crowdfunding
✨ How Funktion lets guests find their seat and see announcements in real time
✨ DJ Dominic’s take on how crowd voting can level up your dance party
✨ Ways to simplify planning and cut down on paper programs with digital tools

If you’ve ever wished your guests could be more connected and have more fun, this is the episode to listen to. We also share stories from a recent 20-year vow renewal, complete with CrossFit vows, “Up” music, and a Central Perk lounge moment straight from Friends.
