Presenting your wedding video is an opportunity to relive that special day and share it with your loved ones in a unique and entertaining way. This is especially important if you had a destination wedding and some guests couldn’t attend. By showcasing your video/photos, you can create new memories with them and have them share in your joy in a different way.

When Should I Present My Wedding Video?
As a studio, we commit to sending you your video(s) within 2 to 4 weeks after filming your event. Keep this timeline in mind when planning your presentation if you wish to show it as soon as possible. Alternatively, you could present it on special occasions like your anniversary or to celebrate new milestones as a couple. Whenever you decide to showcase your video, here are some ideas to make it special:
Outdoor Movie Night
Organize an outdoor movie night in your garden or a park. Set up a large screen, rent a projector, and provide blankets and cushions for guests to sit comfortably. Offer popcorn, snacks, and drinks. You can even decorate the area with string lights to add a romantic touch.
Themed Party
If your wedding had a particular theme, such as vintage, bohemian, or tropical, throw a themed party to present the video. Ask guests to dress according to the theme and decorate the venue to match. This will not only make the event more fun but also allow guests to relive the wedding atmosphere.
Screening in a Movie Theater
Rent a small movie theater for a private screening. This will give your wedding video the feel of a movie premiere. You can design personalized movie tickets as invitations and offer refreshments and popcorn to attendees.
Intimate Dinner with Projection
Host an intimate dinner at home or in a restaurant, and project the wedding video at the end of the meal. You can create a special menu that includes dishes served at your wedding, allowing guests to relive the culinary experience of your big day.
Karaoke and Wedding Video
If you and your friends enjoy karaoke, combine a karaoke night with the wedding video screening. Start with some songs and then surprise your guests with the wedding video. After the screening, you can continue singing and celebrating.
Virtual Party
For friends and family who can’t attend in person, organize a virtual party. Use a video conferencing platform to stream the video online. Send snack and drink packages to guests so they can enjoy the experience from their homes.

Photo and Video Album
Create a digital photo album that includes both photos and clips from the wedding video. Then, organize a gathering where you project this interactive album. Guests can browse the album and watch videos in each section.
We recommend Google Photos and iCloud for creating a cloud album.
Game Night and Video
Plan a game night followed by the wedding video screening. You can organize board games, trivia about the couple, or even a scavenger hunt with clues related to your love story. After the games, gather everyone to watch the video.
Memory Brunch
Host a memory brunch on the weekend, where you project the wedding video while enjoying a relaxed meal. You can include a small thank-you speech and toast to the good times shared.
Wedding Video Diary
Create a “wedding diary” video, including segments from the wedding video along with interviews of guests sharing their memories of the day. Project this diary at a gathering, allowing guests to see themselves and hear fun and emotional anecdotes.
Presenting your wedding video in a creative way will make the event even more special and memorable. Choose the idea you like best and enjoy reliving those special moments with your loved ones!
