Looking for love? Rifflandia Staffer Kayla Might Have Your Match (and Your Wristband)

If you’ve ever picked up your festival wristband, chances are you’ve already met Kayla. As Rifflandia’s Director of Box Office, Kayla is the unofficial meme queen of the festival—making sure thousands of fans get through the gates smoothly and stylishly every year.

But beyond her spreadsheet sorcery and box office brilliance, Kayla wears many hats: she’s a hot dog enthusiast, a hardcore Love Island fan, and—wait for it—the catalyst for Match Me If You Can, Rifflandia’s cheeky spin on a singles event, launched this past February at Riff HQ.

We sat down with Kayla to get the inside scoop on all things Lovelandia—and here’s how it went.

1. What is Lovelandia? What happens and when is it? 

Lovelandia is our signature elopement-style wedding experience that takes place right in the heart of the festival. Typically held on the final day of Rifflandia (Sunday), we take care of everything—from the officiant and dreamy backdrop to a built-in audience of fellow festival-goers. Applications to say "I do" at Rifflandia open very soon!


2. How long has this been going on?

Launched in 2022, Lovelandia has helped nine couples say “I do” in the most unforgettable way—surrounded by music, magic, and a whole lot of love.


3. What's your favourite Lovelandia story? 

One couple mentioned in their application that they were huge fans of bbno$ and he was playing that year. We asked if he would make a guest appearance and to our surprise he agreed! We kept it a secret until the big moment—and when bbno$ showed up, the couple was completely surprised. Definitely an unforgettable experience for everyone!

A couple stand facing each other between a floral archway. They are getting married. The woman is dressed in a casual, short white dress and a white veil while holds a microphone and looks lovingly at her partner who is a gentleman wearing a suit and a cowboy hat. There is a crowd around watching. Rapper bbno$ stands to the right as a witness for the married couple. He is in an all teal suit with a teal toque on. There is a large banner in the background on the mainstage that says Rifflandia. Everyone looks very happy.


4. I'm single... What if I don't want to get married at Rifflandia? How can I be involved? Can I go to the wedding?

If you're joining us on Sunday, you're invited to be part of the celebration! All weddings are open to the public, and our couples truly appreciate the love and support.


5. I'd love to meet my future spouse, or at least someone I can connect with – is there anything at Lovelandia this year for me? 

We kicked off our first off-festival Lovelandia event this past Valentine's Day: Match Me If You Can. A dating event where friends could pitch their single pals to a room full of potential matches. It was a hit, and we’re planning more love-themed events soon so make sure you’re on our newsletter list to stay in the loop!

A room full of people face a stage at the front of the room where a host is speaking into a microphone. There is a projection of "Match Me If You Can" on the wall behind the host. The room is coloured with pink and red lights. This is a valentine's themed event.

6. Will you be there? 

You gotta be there to find out! xoxo
