Wedding live streaming in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley
For the people who cannot be there. Multi-camera, cut live, with proper audio off the celebrant, and our own satellite connection so your ceremony never depends on the venue's wifi.
The Hunter Valley internet problem nobody mentions until the day
Wine country venues are gorgeous and their connectivity is thin. In July 2026 a cut cable on Broke Road took mobile services out across Pokolbin, Rothbury and Milbrodale, including fixed services on Oakey Creek Road and McDonalds Road, which is where several of the biggest wedding venues sit. That was less than a fortnight after a national Telstra outage hit the Hunter. Cessnock Council has formally written to federal and state ministers about coverage blackspots in the shire. Venues further out say it plainly themselves: a Wollombi retreat's own FAQ page warns that mobile reception is very limited and the internet can be slow.
We bring Starlink to every wedding. Your stream runs on our connection, so a venue outage, a overloaded guest wifi network or a tower failure on Broke Road is not your problem.
What you get
Blackmagic Design cameras and a vision switcher, so the stream cuts live between a wide shot and a close one instead of sitting on a single locked-off angle for forty minutes. Audio taken from the celebrant. A private link you can send out beforehand. And a full recording of the ceremony, captured locally on redundant media as we go, which means it exists whatever happens to the connection.
Why couples book us
Starlink on every job
The stream runs on our own satellite connection, not the venue's wifi and not a mobile hotspot. Chapels, cemeteries, gardens and vineyards are exactly the places where reception fails, and we have removed that from the list of things you need to worry about.
The recording is guaranteed
We record locally on redundant media at the same time as we stream. If the internet drops, if the power goes out, if a viewer's connection fails, the recording is still made and you still receive it.
Blackmagic Design broadcast kit
Real cameras and a vision switcher, cut live between angles, with audio taken from the celebrant or the venue's own system. Not a phone on a tripod at the back of the room.
Quiet, and quick to book
We set up early, stay out of the way and pack down without interrupting anything. Funerals can be booked at a few days' notice, and the recording comes back to you quickly.
Wedding live streaming questions
Frequently asked questions about wedding live streaming.
Where do you offer wedding live streaming?
Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and the Central Coast. That covers the wine country venues around Pokolbin, Lovedale, Rothbury and Broke, the Port Stephens beach and headland ceremony sites, and the Central Coast from Terrigal through to Norah Head. There is no travel surcharge inside that area. If your venue is further out, ask us anyway.
What if the venue has poor reception or the weather turns?
We bring our own Starlink satellite connection to every wedding, so the stream does not touch venue wifi or mobile data. This matters more in the Hunter than people expect. Mobile services across Pokolbin, Rothbury and Milbrodale went out in July 2026 after a cable was cut on Broke Road, less than two weeks after a national Telstra failure, and Cessnock Council has publicly written to ministers about coverage blackspots in the shire. On top of that we record locally throughout, so bad weather or a dropped connection cannot cost you the footage.
What package do you recommend?
The Barebones single-camera package suits a small ceremony on a budget. Most couples are happier with the two-camera option, because one camera holds the wide shot while the other stays on your faces, and the people watching from overseas get to see expressions rather than the back of a suit.
How does the live stream work for our guests?
They click one link at the time of the ceremony. No app, no account, nothing to download. You can send it in a group chat or an email, and it works on a phone, a laptop or a TV.
What about sound quality?
Audio comes off the celebrant's microphone or the venue's PA rather than from a camera at the back. Vows are quiet, outdoor venues are windy, and camera-mounted microphones do not cope with either. This is the thing most home-made streams get wrong.
Will the cameras disrupt the ceremony?
No. Cameras go on tripods, we position them before guests are seated, and we do not move during the ceremony. No flash, no lights in anyone's face, nobody stepping into your photographer's frame.
Can you help our guests if they have trouble watching?
Yes. We give you a link you can test in advance and send out early so anyone who is not confident with technology can try it before the day.
What is the difference between a live stream and a wedding video?
A live stream is the ceremony as it happens, for people who cannot attend. A wedding film is edited afterwards into a shorter piece. The live stream recording is unedited and complete, which is what you want if the point is that someone missed the day.
How far in advance should we book?
For Saturdays in wine country between September and April, as early as you can. Off-peak dates and weekday ceremonies are usually available at much shorter notice.
How do we get started?
Send us the date, the venue and roughly how many people will be watching remotely. We will come back with availability and a price.
