Live streaming and event tech in Leeds

Some of the people who should be in the room cannot get there. A funeral happens too quickly to book a flight, the family is spread across three countries, someone is too unwell to travel. We set up and run the technology so they still see it properly: the camera, the sound, and a stream tested against the real venue and watched the whole way through. It gets built and tested before anyone arrives, because there is no second take on a day like that.

Does this sound like yours?

Faults we fix

  • Family abroad cannot get here in time for a funeral and you want them to be part of it
  • Relatives who are too unwell or too far to travel, for a wedding, a christening or a naming ceremony
  • You have been told the venue has Wi-Fi, and you do not know whether that is good enough to stream on
  • Someone offered to hold a phone up, and you would rather it was done well
  • You want the day recorded as well as streamed, so there is something to keep
  • The ceremony is in one place and the reception in another, and both need covering
  • A community, church or memorial event where people will watch from several countries
  • A business event, AGM or talk that people are joining remotely
  • Nobody in the family wants to be the one operating it on the day

Not on the list? Book a repair anyway and describe it. A first opinion is free either way.

What we do

Name the fault, then the fix, then the price

  1. Talk it through with us first: what the event is, where it is, roughly how many people are watching from elsewhere, and how they will watch. That conversation is free and it is where most of the decisions get made

  2. Check the venue's connection honestly before the day, because a venue saying it has Wi-Fi is not the same as it being able to carry a stream. If it will not, we sort another way of getting online rather than finding out live

  3. Set the camera where it sees what matters and not the back of people's heads, and get the sound from the source rather than from the room, because bad sound loses a viewer faster than a bad picture

  4. Arrive early and test it against the real room and the real connection, not a rehearsal of it

  5. Send whoever is watching a link that works on a phone, a tablet or a television, without them needing an account or any setup at their end. Older relatives abroad should not have to install anything

  6. Run it on the day. Somebody watches the stream itself for the whole event, so if something goes wrong it is noticed and fixed rather than discovered afterwards

  7. Record it at the same time where you want that, so there is a copy to keep and to send on to anyone who missed it

  8. Pack down afterwards without getting in the way of the day

How long it takes

An honest answer, not a booking slot

Setup is usually an hour or two before the event, longer for a venue we have not seen or a connection that needs sorting. We would rather arrive early and be sitting waiting than arrive on time and be rushing. For a funeral, where the notice is often only a few days, get in touch as soon as you know the date and we will tell you straight whether it can be done well in the time.

What it costs

Free to talk through, then one fixed price for the event

Talking the event through with us costs nothing, and it is where most of the decisions get made. Then you get one fixed price for the event, travel included, before anything is booked: there is no separate call-out and no card hold. There is no price list, because every event is different: a service in one room and a wedding across two venues are not the same day.

What drives the price

  • How long the event runs, and whether it is one location or two
  • Whether the venue's connection can carry the stream, or whether another way of getting online has to be arranged
  • How many camera positions the room actually needs, which is often fewer than people expect
  • Whether the sound can be taken from a system already there or needs its own
  • Whether you want a recording kept as well as the live stream
  • How long the day runs for us, from setting up early to packing down afterwards

Questions

The things people ask

Can you do a funeral at short notice?

Where there is time to do it right, yes. Funerals are arranged quickly and the family abroad usually cannot fly in time, which is exactly the situation this exists for. Get in touch as soon as you have the date. If there is not enough time to do it right, we will say so instead of taking the booking and hope.

What do the people watching need to do?

Open a link. No account, no app, no setting anything up, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a smart television. That matters more than it sounds, because the people watching are often older, often abroad, and should not have to be talked through an installation on the morning of a funeral.

Will it definitely not cut out?

We cannot promise that, because a venue's internet is not ours to control. What we do instead is check the connection before the day rather than on it, arrange another way online if it will not hold, test everything against the real room, and have a person watching the stream throughout so a problem is caught in seconds rather than found out afterwards.

Is it recorded as well?

It can be. The recording is yours: to keep, and to send to anyone who could not watch live or who wants to see it again. Tell us up front so it is set up that way from the start.

Can you cover a ceremony and a reception in different places?

Yes, though it changes the shape of the day and the price, so it is worth saying in your first message rather than on the morning. Two locations means either moving between them with a gap, or covering them differently.

Is this only for funerals?

No. Weddings, christenings, naming ceremonies, milestone birthdays, memorials, church and community events, and business events where people join remotely. Funerals lead because that is where the need is most urgent, not because it is all we do.

Do we need to know anything technical?

No, and you should not have to on the day. You tell us what the event is and who needs to see it. We handle the rest and run it ourselves, so nobody in the family ends up operating equipment at their own event.
