Skype for Wedding Ceremonies

The technology of today is amazing! I have many couples who have had parents, grandparents and

friends from all over the world at their weddings, even though these same guests were unable to be

there in person.

With Skype guests are able to enjoy the wedding ceremony and feel included, even responding and

being involved in a meaningful way.

There is one very important thing to remember when you are considering using Skype. Does your

venue have a strong enough internet signal to facilitate it? Perhaps you need to organise your own

internet source, so which provider has the strongest signal in the area your venue is in?

Another issue can be the best positioning of the person holding the tablet or phone. Work out where

the sun is going to be beforehand, the rehearsal might be a good time to do this, so you are not

having to point it into the sun.

Remember too, if the Skype-guests are not involved in the ceremony itself, to turn down the volume

so they can hear but can’t be heard. It might not always be amusing to have them chatting away in

the background 
