Chronolio for Wedding DJs & MCs
You run the room's energy off a schedule you usually receive too late, in a format built for someone else's job. Chronolio gives you the same live timeline the planner is running, cued for exactly what you need to call.
The job, as it actually is
You get the timeline last, and it's built for someone else
The planner's document is built for the couple and the venue — you have to translate it into cue points: grand entrance music, toast order, first dance, the moment to open the floor, usually the same day you receive the final version.
The reception's energy depends on cues, not just times
A late toast, a delayed cake cutting, a couple who wants to extend the first dance — every one of those is a live call, and you need the current plan to make it well, in the moment, without breaking the room's energy.
You're coordinating with vendors you've never met
The photographer needs the dance floor to open on cue for their shot list; the caterer needs to know when speeches end to clear plates — and none of you are on the same document.
Where Chronolio fits your workflow
The same live timeline as the planner
See the current reception schedule — entrances, toasts, cake, first dance — on your phone, always up to date, instead of working from a printed sheet from a week ago that's missing this morning's changes.

Ceremony ran late and dinner shifted twenty minutes? The reception cues you're reading from update automatically — no scramble to figure out the new toast order at the reception itself.
Learn more about Bulk Editing & Assignment →Build your own reception template
Save your proven reception structure — entrance, welcome, dinner, toasts, cake, open floor — as a starting point for future weddings, then adapt it to each couple's specifics.
Learn more about Template Library →Coordinated with the photographer and caterer, not around them
Everyone working the reception reads the same current timeline — the photographer's shot list, your cues, and the caterer's clearing schedule all reference one source instead of three separate conversations happening in three separate corners of the room.

Common questions
Can I see the couple's current wedding-day timeline, not just the reception?
Yes — with a shared link you see the whole day, so you understand how the ceremony and photos are running before your reception cues even start.
What happens if the ceremony runs late?
If the couple or planner shifts the affected block, everything after it — including your reception cues — recalculates automatically, so you're working from the current plan, not the morning's version.
Can I build a reusable reception template for my own bookings?
Yes — save your standard structure once and adapt it per couple, so you're not rebuilding the entrance-to-open-floor sequence from scratch every wedding.
