Wedding screens, from the welcome sign to the last dance

To run wedding displays on the venue screens, open tv.birdseye.buzz on each TV, scan the code with your phone, and choose a design. The screens can show a welcome sign as guests arrive, the evening timeline during dinner, and a photo wall later, and they change together as the night moves on.

How it works

  1. Open tv.birdseye.buzz on the television. A code appears on screen.
  2. Scan it with your phone. That TV is now yours to control, with no cables and no app to install.
  3. Pick a design, add names and photos, and change it whenever you like.

What screens replace at a reception

Almost everything a couple pays a printer for at a reception exists to answer a question once and then become recycling: the welcome sign, the seating chart, the order of the evening, the menu. Each one is a single fixed answer, printed weeks ahead, wrong the moment a table changes or the speeches run long.

Venues have solved half of this already, because most function rooms now have at least one television on the wall. It usually sits black all evening, or shows the venue logo, because nobody gave the staff anything else to put on it. That screen is the most flexible sign in the room and it is doing nothing.

The other reason screens have taken over receptions is the photographs. Guests take hundreds of pictures the couple will not see for six weeks. Putting them on the wall as they are taken changes the room: people stop scrolling and start watching, and the older half of the guest list finally sees what the younger half has been doing all night.

Things hosts actually do

  • A welcome sign that is not cardboard

    Names, date, and the design you chose, on the screen by the door. It costs nothing to change the spelling at the last minute.

  • Show the running order during dinner

    Guests want to know when the speeches are and whether there is time to step outside. Put the evening on the screen and stop answering it forty times.

  • A photo wall that fills up as the night goes

    Guests send pictures from their phones and they appear on the screens within seconds. By the last dance the wall is the party itself.

  • Every screen at once, or each one its own

    The screen at the bar can show the drinks list while the main wall shows the couple. One phone controls all of them.

Questions

Will this work on the venue TV?
If the TV has a web browser or an HDMI port, yes. Most function-room screens have both. If the venue will not give you access, a streaming stick in your pocket does the job.
Can I set it all up before the day?
Yes, and you should. Build the timeline in advance, then use the Event Pass rehearsal day to run the whole evening on your own TV at home and see exactly what guests will see.
Can guests add photos without installing anything?
Yes. They scan a code and upload from the phone browser. There is no app for guests to install.
What if the timings slip on the night?
They will. Someone with a phone can hold the timeline, jump straight to the next thing, or push a message to every screen at once.
How many screens can I run?
Five on the Event Pass or on Pro, twenty-five on Ultra. One screen is free.
