Wedding Live Streaming & Recording Service

You could be outside on the beach or in the garden, indoors in a church or chapel, or having your ceremony at home. However, wherever and whenever you’re getting married, we can stream from all locations with good internet coverage. We use the latest 5G technology for the best connections.

We have crews covering Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Wollongong, Blue Mountains & Southern Highlands.

We create beautiful and highly produced live stream videos, creatively filmed with skill, care and professionalism. Our producers capture every element of your wedding so nobody misses a thing.

We vision mix your ceremony live; cutting between multiple cameras and a variety of different shots. Additionally we use pro-grade microphones or a direct audio feed to ensure good quality sound. We use the latest live streaming technology, our own high-speed internet connections and a professional live streaming platform.

Our aim is to ensure your online viewers feel at the heart of the ceremony no matter how, when or where they’re watching. We often hear from viewers that it feels just like being there in person.

You can watch the ceremony live as it’s happening, or you can watch later at your convenience. The ceremony is always recorded and it remains online for a month for later viewing. It’s also available to download and keep so it doubles as a wedding video too!

We create a personalised private webpage for your wedding. We’ll send you the link when you book, allowing you lots of time to send out your online invitations. The page also contains a guestbook so people watching your wedding can leave you messages. In addition to telling you how many people were online, we’ll also give you a list of their names so you know exactly who watched. On the page you can:

• Watch the live stream (and recorded video after the event)
• See the names of everyone who watched
• Leave a message in the online guestbook
• Access help from our online assistant
• Translate the page into different languages

Yes we do, for every ceremony, in HD quality. And you can download the video recording after the event, to keep, at no extra charge.

A recording is also an essential backup in case of any streaming issues. While these issues are rare, any disappointment would be compounded further if there was no recording whatsoever of the ceremony.

The recording is immediately available to view when the live stream ends, so anyone who cannot watch the ceremony at the time can view at their convenience. The video stays online for one month.

CeremonyCast has been live streaming weddings since 2018. We’re trusted as the recommended live streaming supplier by some of Sydney’s leading wedding venues and planners. And we keep our fees competitive and affordable.

We come from a variety of backgrounds including national TV and radio broadcasting in the UK and Australia, professional wedding photography and videography and Marriage Celebrancy. Our skills, knowledge and know-how all combine in a unique way to offer you a professional and caring service.

Some churches, chapels and venues offer free live streaming as part of your booking. While this may appeal on a cost basis, the CeremonyCast service offers much more sophistication and a much more polished and professional result.

Church options are usually automated services or operated by a volunteer, not a dedicated professional technical operator. And when things go wrong – and live streaming can be challenging – a free service you’re not paying for may not take priority when issues arise.

They are also much more basic than what we offer. Chapel webcasts are filmed by fixed cameras with minimal adjustment, rather like a security camera. The quality of both video and audio is not as clear as what our cameras can capture. Modern live streaming has quickly moved on to expectations of far better quality and higher production values. We’re able to offer a better-looking video with a far wider range of camera angles capturing ALL the details of the ceremony, better audio and an experienced and professional crew.

Privacy is another factor. Our funeral live stream service is totally private and bespoke, We also use a professional live streaming platform. Beware of live streams hosted on a public YouTube channel which can fall foul of automatic copyright restrictions when it comes to music.

Don’t forget, you’re also able to download and keep a copy of the video. And we add extra elements to our live streams such as an embedded Order of Service/Mass Booklet, and we’ll give you the names of everyone who watched.

We keep kit to the minimum so our footprint is small. Often people tell us they didn’t even notice us there, which is always a compliment!

Our tripods are set in a fixed position next to our control table. We don’t move or roam around (we are tethered by cables) but we can still get plenty of various angles and views by pointing the cameras in different directions and using the zooms.

We choose a spot where we’re out of the way but can still see everything clearly. We’re usually off to the side or towards the back, depending on what space there is.

Our standard crew is just one person. We are solo operators, managing all aspects of your ceremony webcast ourselves. This fits with our approach of keeping everything easy, simple and straightforward.

All of our packages are multi-camera to offer a professional and polished result. We do not offer a one camera option because this does not meet the high standards now expected of professional live streaming by both viewers and clients.

Our CeremonyCast Classic Wedding live stream is filmed using two cameras, which offer an ample variety of different shots. The cameras are mounted on tripods and are constantly readjusted between different directions, wide shots and close-ups to track and capture all the elements of your ceremony. We vision mix your ceremony live, cutting between the shots. It’s just like watching a TV program.

For our CeremonyCast Plus and Max packages, we bring in an extra camera crew with a roving mobile camera to enable us to capture more shots in more locations.

Clear and clean audio is absolutely a key part of our live streams. It’s vital to be able to hear everything and everyone.

We use pro-grade wireless microphones, placed in the best positions to capture every word. We also give your Priest or Celebrant their own lapel mic to wear.

Or we can also use a direct audio feed from your venue or Celebrant’s PA to ensure good quality sound.

There are no limits on the number of people who can watch.

People watch our live streams from all around the world. But it’s worth noting that some countries, notably China, blocks access to most live streaming and social media platforms. So if you have family in China wishing to watch your ceremony, they need to do a test first. Send them this link https://www.ceremonycast.com.au/test to see if they can access our website, and the video on the page:

If they can see and play the video on that page, then they should be able to view the live stream. Contact us if your viewers have any issues to see if we can help.

We live stream to the CeremonyCast website via a professional streaming video platform (Vimeo) which is just like streaming Netflix or watching a YouTube video. Having a one-way broadcast is really important because it gives us full control over all technical settings and aspects of the live stream and gives a superior and reliable viewing experience to everyone watching.

Apps like Zoom, Teams and WhatsApp are designed for business meeting scenarios where it’s important all participants in the call can see, hear and interact with each other in real time. To make this possible, the video and audio is highly compressed. Speed takes priority and image quality takes a bit hit to make that happen, which is why other people in these calls sometimes appear blocky, their video is jerky, or simply just drop off the call completely for a brief moment. In a corporate talking-head meeting, this is the accepted compromise to allow conversations to happen with minimum delay, but this is not acceptable for professional live streaming.

A live streaming setup becomes particularly important when the number of viewers scales to a large number, otherwise video and audio quality would degrade to an unacceptable level. And when you’re streaming a wedding, a video conferencing app is not the most suitable choice when there is no requirement for those watching to be seen or to actively take part. (If you want interactivity, a good idea is to arrange an online video call immediately after the ceremony so you can all jump on and talk to each other).

Conferencing apps also require accounts, log ins and passwords which adds unnecessary complication. It’s important to keep everything as easy as possible because people watching range from tech whizzes to technophobes so with our setup, all you have to do is click a link.

Less than you may think. CeremonyCast aims to offer an affordable service which reflects our professionalism while not compromising on quality. We’re definitely a lot less than other wedding live streaming companies. Ask us for details of our latest fees.

We’ve got you covered when it comes to avoiding DIY disasters. Don’t risk connection issues, bad picture and terrible sound by attempting your own streaming. Leaving it to the professionals avoids technical trauma at an already stressful time.

Live streaming sounds easy but in practice you’ll soon encounter all kinds of issues and pitfalls. Can you be sure your DIY job isn’t going to look and sound terrible? How will you get clear audio? Or be able to see all the key moments clearly? Will you be able to avoid your stream being automatically cut off by Facebook or YouTube because copyrighted music is detected? How will you know the best settings to choose – or will you even get a stream out at all?

Handing this important task to those who can produce a quality product is always the best idea. There’s only one chance to get it right. Think of it like decorating your home. Sure, you can go to Bunnings, buy some paint, rollers and brushes and paint it yourself. But it’s always much harder work than you expect and it never looks anywhere as good as getting it done by a professional team…

Wedding live streaming has gained immense popularity, transforming the way people celebrate and share their special day.

Firstly, wedding live streaming offers a convenient solution for couples and their loved ones who are unable to attend the ceremony in person. Distance, travel restrictions, health concerns, and other logistical challenges can limit the number of guests who can physically be present. However, with live streaming, couples can include a virtual audience, allowing family members, friends, and even acquaintances from around the world to witness the event in real-time. This enables a greater sense of inclusivity and allows the couple to share their joyous occasion with a larger audience.

Additionally, wedding live streaming provides an opportunity to preserve memories and create lasting mementos. Couples can capture high-quality video footage of their wedding ceremony, ensuring that every heartfelt moment and exchange of vows is documented. The live stream can be recorded and saved for future viewing, allowing the couple and their loved ones to relive the joyous occasion and cherish the memories for years to come.

Moreover, advancements in technology have made wedding live streaming more accessible and user-friendly. With the widespread availability of high-speed internet connections, and various streaming platforms, many streaming services offer user-friendly interfaces and customisable features, allowing couples to personalise their virtual wedding experience.

Lastly, the COVID-19 pandemic played a significant role in the surge of wedding live streaming’s popularity. With restrictions on gatherings and social distancing measures in place, many couples turned to virtual alternatives to ensure their loved ones could still be a part of their special day. Live streaming provided a safe and secure way to connect and celebrate, even when physical gatherings were limited.

Overall, wedding live streaming has become popular due to its ability to overcome geographical barriers, its ability to capture and preserve memories, advancements in technology, and its adaptability during challenging times. As technology continues to advance and society embraces digital connectivity, it is likely that wedding live streaming will remain a popular choice for couples looking to share their joyous moments with a wider audience.
