Lovecast - Event Livestream 4+

I just used the app for my wedding on November 22nd, and it worked perfect! I used it on my iPhone12 for our outdoor ceremony, and had it run on data (the WiFi from the venue did not reach the spot where we said our “I do’s”). A friend of mine videoed the entire ceremony from start to finish. The stream did not interrupt or glitch out and all of our friends from around the world (US, Canada, Japan, Europe) were able to watch!

The best part about Lovecast is that it is simply a stream that everyone watches. Your guests click the link and they can view the ceremony. There is no need to worry about anyone else accidentally sharing their screen, not muting themselves, or ensuring that those features are disabled before the stream goes live! There is no option for them to video-in or speak/interrupt. What we do like though is that they can write comments on the message board that you can read afterwards. It was fun to see our guests write about the little things that occurred during our big day.

My wife and I are so incredibly thankful for Lovecast making it possible for our guests to virtually attend our ceremony (reception has been postponed until late next year). For those couples looking to have smaller ceremonies this pandemic but want their friends and loved ones to still be present with them (virtually), Lovecast is the way to go!

I cannot rave enough about our LoveCast experience. We opted for the premium version so we could have the custom URL as well as the photo guest book (which I’ve converted to JPEG images and had printed through Shutterfly!). We chose to use LoveCast over Zoom cause of just how simple it was. The test website was incredible, we were able to do 2 test sessions within the allotted ~80 minutes we had which allowed us to test WiFi and setups and then test again on the rehearsal night to make sure our friend handling the streaming was all set! I used an iPhone 12 Pro and the quality was incredible, both in the stream and the HD uploaded video. Both us and our guests loved that the video was almost instantly uploaded to the website and to our phone. It was also sooo simple for our friends and family to watch, just by simply going to the URL. Like I said, I can’t say enough good things- I would highly recommend using LoveCast for anyone looking to stream their wedding or event!

This app was so easy to use and provided a bunch of resources on how to best set up your livestream. Because of the blog/resources, we went with using our iPad on a stand and a mobile hotspot and the quality was perfect. It was so nice to be able to test ahead of time at the rehearsal to figure out the best location for the stand. We sent the link to relatives all over the world and they were able to access it with no problem. It was so easy and I was skeptical it would work, thinking that there would be a catch but no catch at all it really is that easy and FREE. After the event I had my saved files and people who missed it live could go to the link and watch the recording. My mom has rewatched the ceremony 10 times via the link. I can’t believe it’s free for the amazing quality and the recordings that we’ll watch for a lifetime! 100% recommend using this app and I’m so glad I found it!
