Free Video Streaming Services for Wedding?

[keeleyinhiding]

Has anyone here streamed their wedding online? We're having a fairly small wedding with mostly just local people in Alberta, Canada, and a large reception later in Georgia. We'd like to stream the wedding so that everyone can see it if they want, but I'm not entirely sure of what programs/services to use. We prefer something free since we were

We're probably going to use something like stickam.com with a private room or ustream.tv.

I was going to say ustream

Offbeatbride.com has a massive 'how to' on streaming a wedding

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think to look there. <3

My sister streamed her wedding live on ustream.com and made it available for a few weeks afterwards and it worked really well for her. The videographer was able to help her out with the placement of the web cams and what not, but it went smoothly. As long as you have an internet connection at your location, it should work perfectly for you.

I wanted to stream our wedding, but a lack of power and internet connection made that impossible.

However, I've streamed other things, and I would suggest ustream over livestream. I use Livestream for my raccoon webcam, but they have 30 second advertisements that stop the video feed every 10 - 15 minutes. You don't want an advertisement interrupting your wedding! Livestream is more customizable than ustream, but ustream doesn't have the annoying video/audio ads that livestream does.
