As we are all about weddings, Calgary Bride wants you to know that we have a company in Calgary, Watch My Wedding, that are able to live stream weddings so that everyone can attend!

Watch My Wedding was established to fulfill the increasing demand of online streaming services for brides and grooms wanting to share their special moments with family and friends who were unable to be present for their ceremonies. Watch my Wedding can stream your wedding ceremony live as it happens to your extended audience. Imagine having those that are unable to attend – grandparents, deployed friends and family in the military, extended relatives and family friends – enjoy every smile, every tear, every moment!

A bit about the owners:

“It was year 2000 and my husband and I were planning our wedding. He was from Ontario and I was from Alberta. It had been decided we would have the wedding in Alberta since he had lived there for the past few years as well. We sent out the invitations, ensuring the Ontario friends and family had plenty of time to plan and attend. What a great excuse for the family to come out west to visit, holiday and take part in our special day.
As the time wore on, it seems not all of them saw it the way we did. RSVP’s came back and to our shock not only were friends not able to come the distance his own sister financially could not make it happen as well. There was nothing we could do and so the beautiful outdoor wedding was attending by over 80% of my family with just my husbands parents and an uncle and aunt that were living in Alberta at the time able to join.
Fast forward 12 years…still married (yay for us!) and still regretting that my husbands own sister could not take part in our special day…

As of 2010 that regret has disappeared for many couples that have found our services called Watch My Wedding. With great excitement we live stream the weddings to friends and families near and far. Streaming has been done to Australia, Afghanistan, UK, South Africa and of course within Canada. With their own private internet channel the day of, e-vites with the brides colors to the friends and families and chat boxes for tech support during the stream – it has become an amazing option for those that are unable to attend that special day.
It is our hope that no one will miss those special moments, that only happen once – now Everyone can come To your Wedding!”
