Broadcasting Your Wedding Live on the Internet

The popularity of user generated videos seems to have found a pretty creative niche in Live Internet Weddings. I came across this company while watching YouTube videos from Turtle Bay Resort in Hawaii. The concept is pretty simple. For the price of an airline ticket you can hire them to broadcast your wedding live via the Internet to relatives and friends unable to make your wedding. The video is then made available online for up to three months and they also make a DVD for your archives.

Pretty neat concept. Below is a sample. It is a beach wedding held at Turltle Bay Resort which Live Internet Weddings broadcast and then later posted:

Another video I found pretty interesting was Turtle Bay Resort: Pavilion Wedding & Sunset Room Reception. Same idea, different wedding.

These videos of course offer great opportunity for a resort such as Turtle Bay, considering that user created video is one of the most popular content categories in social media. eMarketer is estimating that user generated videos will receive 34 billion views in 2008 this is up from 22 billion in 2007.

  • If you want great rapport with your guests, so that they enjoy themselves, then think about getting live music at your wedding reception
  • One of the best websites we have seen for stunning dresses ( and for 2010 at much more affordable prices than her previous collections) is the Vera Wang site.
  • If you can get someone to manage a video camera, and have an internet connection, It can be done at no cost at all, by using iwedlive.com, its FREE,
  • Many brides and grooms dream of a destination wedding on a sandy beach in a warm locale. However, the happy couple is often disappointed when they learn that many guests aren’t able to attend due to exorbitant travel costs, scheduling, or other types of conflicts.

    Streamable.net provides an easy, affordable solution to this problem by broadcasting the wedding ceremony live over the internet. Virtual guests are provided with a website in advance so they can plan to view the wedding. Streamable.net’s professional technicians arrive the day of the wedding and set up state of the art cameras to stream the ceremony. Guests then tune in to the ceremony from the comfort of their own homes.

    “We handle the entire process - from setting up cameras to monitoring the stream and uploading the final product to the Internet for future viewing. This allows the couple to concentrate on enjoying their special day.” said Eric Kalmus, founder and owner of Streamable.net, a division of BT Media LLC, a Los Angeles based Information Technology company.

    “Streaming the wedding allows for an unlimited guest list and the cost can be as low as a single round trip airline ticket. In addition, brides and grooms can include acquaintances on a virtual guest list that they may not have been able to include otherwise.”

    Various packages are available from streaming only to streaming plus a professional DVD. The video footage is also available for viewing on the internet after the event.
