Getting married in Vegas - a question

Options
Hi all, we're getting married in Vegas, just the two of us, and we'd like the ceremony to be on a live webcam, so that our families can watch.

A lot of the packages don't mention a live webcam. Does anyone know if it's standard for wedding chapels to have a webcam link or do I need to look specifically for one that mentions one? I'm going crazy looking at different sites.

    Hi! I've just got back from my wedding in Vegas - we went to Graceland chapel and they publish weddings on the internet but they aren't live, they upload them after the ceremony which I believe is quite common with a lot of chapels.

    I have no idea if that helps or not, but do get in touch if you have any questions! Hope you have an amazing time - ours was!

    Our friends did this, but they had all the techie stuff anyway. Think they used a site to put the vid through, so there was like a chat room added to it so we could all send them questions or banter, that the best man read out whilst they were in the limo after the ceremony, It was brilliant fun hearing their answers or banter back. Then the bestman took it into their reception venue and did the same there, we honestly all felt part of the wedding! :D

    One thing we decided in the end was that a live cam wasn't needed and uploading afterwards was fine....was the time difference.

    We wanted a sunset wedding which didn't work too well with the time difference . It really wasn't practical for our circumstances.

  • Can you plug in an iPad/computer and put Skype on it? This is what we're thinking of doing at our wedding for a friend who lives in Singapore.


    Otherwise, I would just send them an email and ask - it may be something they can do but don't advertise for whatever reason.

  • Google is your friend:

    http://www.littlechapel.com/Ceremony/Packages.aspx

    Youtube now supports live streaming and recording, so i'm sure they're using that

    If you're streaming it yourself you could use Google Hangouts, which also streams straight to YouTube and records it there for later viewing
