Weddings are already memorable in themselves, but you can use existing technology to make it even better.
If you have the budget, consider these 5 high-tech highlights for a great time.
Get a Drone and Stream the Wedding Online
It may be possible to accommodate all the people who are dear to you and your partner to the actual wedding, but then if you want to get the attention of everyone you know (or don’t), then you can broadcast the ceremony using a drone and on the internet.
A drone will capture the event via video, and you can stream it directly to a supported platform such as Zoom, YouTube or something similar. All they need to do is click the invitation or stream link on their smartphone or computer, and voila! They’ll be part of the show and can send their wishes as well.
Hire a Professional Photographer
You shouldn’t just hire any wedding photographer you can find- it’s best to scout online and invite one who’s knowledgeable in all things tech, such as smart photography equipment and post-processing pictures and videos.
Wedding photography shouldn’t be left to chance- it’s one of the main ways you can store and retain those special memories, after all. In fact, the more experience they have with using photography equipment, techniques and current technology, the better. It’s all well worth the cost, as you’ll be looking at those pictures and probably showing them off to friends and your future children. Click here to see a good example.
Set Up a Charging Station
A special section to charge smartphones and laptops in the reception area might be an afterthought to some, but your guests will certainly appreciate the gesture.
A charging station doesn’t have to occupy a large space, and you get some benefits from it as well. Your guests can continue talking about and posting your wedding event and happenings online, especially on social media and this makes your wedding more prominent.
Have your wedding planner or coordinator set up charging points with multiple options, such as USB-C, Lightning, micro USB and even a wireless puck for iPhones and similar devices. It’s also a great icebreaker for guests who don’t know each other.
3D Print Party Favors and Mementos
Wedding favors and giveaways are customized to begin with, so why not enlist the help of a 3D printer so you can gift small, one-of-a-kind items?
The beauty of 3d printing is that the possibilities are endless. You can create a fun or quirky item, or something that your guests will surely cherish for years to come. The cost and materials, or service is pretty reasonable too.
Automate Your Open Bar
Last but not the least, give your guests something that sparks conversation and exudes a cool factor. Instead of hiring the usual bartender for your open bar, you can opt for tech advancements and get a robot bartender to serve them drinks.
Your visitors can order drinks via app and have it delivered to their table. They’re unobtrusive and serve perfect drinks every time.
