Streaming Your Wedding

Covid brought so many changes to weddings and life. One of the biggest was the rise in wedding streaming. Many of my clients have used different options for their needs, from DIY to hiring vendors.

The best option is the one that is easiest for you and also for your guests. Here are some of the DIY options:

Zoom: Everyone has been on at least one Zoom meeting during the last few years. It works great for business, but isn’t always a great fit for weddings. The free plan only allows 40 minutes and the number of guests is limited.

Facebook Live: Most guests will need a Facebook account to view a private account or it will be public.

I began searching for an option that was easy to use, but still affordable. My search brought me to Event Live. The current cost is only $50 and has quite a few features.

  • Guests don’t need an account.

  • The link is private and you just share it with who you want

  • You can have a guestbook.

  • Guests can watch a replay and you can download the video.

Tips:

  • Make sure you have a dedicated phone to use. A tripd is a must.

  • Be sure you have good wifi or 4g.

  • Assign someone to be responsible for starting, moving, and stopping the phone.

You can use it to stream your wedding or other event. So whether your guests are sick or in quarantine, the weather has messed up travel, or flights have been cancelled, here is an option to share your wedding with guests no matter where they reside.
