In the digital age, technology has become an integral part of our lives, and weddings are no exception! Couples are incorporating technology into their wedding planning, communication with guests, and their actual wedding day.

At Casa Real, we understand the importance of blending tradition with modern innovation to create a wedding that is unique, memorable, but still feels timeless. Below are some ways to use technology in a seamless way to enhance your wedding experience.

Virtual Tours And Virtual Appointments

Do you live across the country from where you are planning to get married? Do you work long hours and it’s hard to get to in-person meetings with your vendors? Zoom and other virtual teleconference software have dramatically changed the wedding landscape since 2020. Not only are vendors open to showing couples a venue or product(s), they are also adept at holding meetings online now. While nothing still replaces in-person meetings, they are a convenient way to keep planning when it’s not the most ideal for your schedule.

Client Portals

We at Casa Real give access to our Client Portal once a couple books with us. This online website allows couples to find any resources they need regarding their venue and the wedding planning process with us from their computer or phone. Information such as preferred vendors, floor diagrams, photos of their menu, FAQs, and more are all accessible any time or day for their convenience.

Wedding Websites

Creating a personalized website for guests to access for information is almost a must. These websites allow you to post the details of your wedding, links to your registries, and will even allow you to keep track of RSVPs and which meal a guest chose. After the wedding, the website can become a digital scrapbook of memories with photos and messages from your guests.

Digital Guestbooks

Many couples no longer choose to have the traditional book that guests can sign. Many have more interactive options, such as an old-style rotary phone that connects to a digital voice memo service, photo booth guest books, and more.

Live Streaming The Celebration

For loved ones who can’t make the wedding day, live streaming ensures nobody misses out. Professional streaming services through a vendor allow your friends and family to witness your “I dos” in real-time, ensuring they feel included and part of your special day.

Interactive Entertainment

Tech can also be a part of your entertainment. Interactive DJ apps allow guests to request songs and vote on the next dance hit. Photo booths with digital props and instant social media uploads add a playful touch to the festivities. Digital dance floors and LED lights allow couples to change the party mood with a click of a button.

Social Media & Hashtags

Create a unique hashtag for your wedding to easily compile and view guests’ photos and posts on social media. The feed from the hashtag will allow you to relive all the joyous moments from the perspectives of friends and family. Couples can even hire vendors to have screens placed around your wedding that show a live-time feed of social media posts based on a specific hashtag.

Other couples choose to hire a professional who will complement their photographer and videographer and make short-form content for social media. This gives couples tons of footage to showcase on their personal social media accounts after the wedding is done, highlighting usually more quirky and fun content.

Drone Photography: A Soaring Perspective

Drones offer a unique vantage point to capture your wedding. These high-flying cameras can take breathtaking aerial photographs and videos of your venue, ceremony, and more, adding a cinematic quality to all your wedding memories.

Technology and weddings can make a great marriage. Through using technology, couples can stay on-track in their planning, and create one-of-a-kind experiences for themselves and their guests.
