Folklore Wedding Company offers both planning and media support for weddings at Ruckle Farm. Our on-island planners coordinate vendors, manage logistics, and help bring your vision to life, whether that’s rustic simplicity or a fully custom design created with our design partner. In addition, our creative team provides full media coverage, including photography, videography, and specialty offerings like analog film and tintype photography. Couples can choose to work with us for planning, media, or both, creating a seamless one-stop experience for their Ruckle Farm wedding.

Investments listed on our site are starting estimates, based on the base costs of our core vendor team. Final pricing can vary depending on the specific services, design choices, and vendors couples select. In the end, the total may be more, or in some cases less than the starting price. While our costs reflect a planning fee that works within the current structure of each package, we also offer customized packages for an additional planning fee. Our planners work with each couple to create a clear, personalized proposal that reflects their vision and priorities.

Not at all. While many couples choose to work with our in-house media team because we know our partner venues intimately and have a seamless working relationship between planning and media, we are always happy to collaborate with outside creatives. The benefit of keeping everything under the Folklore umbrella is efficiency and consistency, our planners and photographers are already aligned on timelines, lighting, and location logistics, but if you have another photographer or filmmaker in mind, we’ll gladly integrate them into your wedding plan.
