Can you livestream a wedding?

Livestreaming is a lovely way to include guests who cannot travel, are unwell, or live abroad. You can stream the whole ceremony or just the key moments like the vows and the signing. Before you plan anything, ask your venue or place of worship if filming is allowed. Some registrars may have restrictions, especially during the legal part of the ceremony. You will also need a stable internet connection, so test it on the day. A smartphone on a tripod is enough for a simple stream. For better sound, use a small external microphone. You can also ask a friend or a member of your bridal party to hold the phone or manage the camera. Remember that the ceremony is live, so avoid walking in front of the camera. If you are using a video call platform, you can share a link privately with guests. For a public stream, use a social media platform, but be aware that anyone with the link can watch. Always have a backup plan, like recording the ceremony locally, in case the internet drops.
