How to Live Stream Your Wedding Abroad
At LoveStream, we have produced hundreds of virtual weddings all over the world. The only thing required to live stream your wedding is a streaming device like a phone or iPad and internet connection. The location doesn’t matter.
That said, if you’re planning a destination wedding, you might be feeling a little nervous about the logistics of making everything work. We’re here to help! Follow the tips below and your destination wedding live stream will be smooth sailing.

Internet Connection
If you are getting married at a hotel or resort, contact their team ahead of time and request that they run an internet speed test using the same wifi connection that will be available to you on wedding day. Many places have different wifi networks for staff and guests. If the guest wifi is not strong enough, ask if you would be able to connect to the staff wifi on wedding day.
Pack your Equipment
It will be much more affordable (and reliable!) to pack an extra suitcase with streaming equipment like tripods and a microphone rather than trying to ship it to the destination.
Bring the Right Charging Adapters
Different countries have different types of wall outlets. Make sure that you do research on what type of wall outlets will be available to you and bring a charging block that converts that countries’ outlet to the ones you are familiar with. This will ensure you don’t have any issues when it comes to charging your streaming device or microphone before the event!
Remember the Time Change!
When telling guests about your virtual wedding, don’t forget that they will almost certainly be in a different time zone. It is probably easier to let guests know what time they can watch it state-side rather than asking them to calculate what time it is in Illinois if it is 6:00 p.m. in Greece.
