Same-Day Reception
Film Premiere
Your ceremony. Edited. Projected. Before the night ends.
What it is
Before your guests leave for the night, we show them a short film of your ceremony — edited, scored, and ready to screen at the reception. Not a slideshow. Not a highlight reel. A real film, built from your ceremony footage, that your people watch together in the same room.
It's one of those things that changes the entire energy of the evening. First-time viewers experience their ceremony on a screen with 200 people applauding — and it's impossible to describe what that feels like until you've been in the room.
How it works
Your ceremony is filmed
Our team captures your full ceremony — the walk, the vows, the rings, the kiss — while the reception is being set up.
We edit during cocktail hour
While you and your guests move to cocktail hour, our team is in the edit suite building your film. Your ceremony, your music, your story — trimmed and sequenced.
The film screens at your reception
Before the toasts or the first dance, your film plays on our projection screen. Your guests experience your ceremony together — often for the first time, on a screen, with applause.
You get the full film later
The Same-Day Premiere is a preview. Your full ceremony film and highlight reel are delivered within 6–8 weeks, in the quality and format your wedding deserves.
"We had so many people come up to us after the film and say it was the first time they really understood what happened during the ceremony because they were watching it on a screen. And then the applause when it ended — I'll never forget that sound."
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Same-Day Premiere film?
Typically 8–15 minutes, depending on your ceremony length. We include the full ceremony and the exit — no cutting the vows for time.
What equipment do you bring?
We bring a professional projection system — projector, screen, and sound — calibrated for the venue. We handle the technical setup and run the screening. You don't need to provide anything.
Does this cost extra beyond our wedding film package?
The Same-Day Premiere is an add-on to our standard wedding film coverage. Pricing depends on your package level. Ask us when you inquire — we'll give you a clear number.
What if our ceremony starts late or the timeline runs long?
We plan for this. Our team coordinates with your photographer and coordinator to ensure we have everything we need before the ceremony starts. If the timeline shifts, we adjust — and we'll tell you before the day if there's a conflict that affects the premiere.
Can we choose the music?
Yes. We'll work with you to choose music that fits your ceremony and your taste. If you have specific songs for your processional or recessional, we use those. If you want us to score it, we will.
Is the Same-Day Premiere available for all wedding sizes?
Yes. We've screened it for weddings of 50 guests and for receptions of 300. The energy is different at every scale — but the reaction is always the same.
