I take issue with how some companies package streaming services. Many offer what is, effectively, a Zoom account and leave it to the customer to sort the details. While they can be inexpensive, the savings will come at the cost of you having to run the camera, coordinate virtual attendees, and troubleshoot technical issues. That’s a lot under any circumstances, especially when you need to focus on the celebration.

I’m really proud that Wildflower offers a fully managed streaming option. We put a camera operator at the celebration to ensure professional framing, clear audio, and stable streaming. We keep our setup simple, opting to broadcast from a top-of-the-line iPhone, prioritizing simplicity for stability. By broadcasting from a natively connected camera, we can adapt to venue conditions and dynamically adjust the stream for uninterrupted viewing without unnecessary complexity.

But this isn’t just any iPhone. Our iPhone employs the same technology used in Hollywood films. Our camera sits on a tripod for stability, and our high-quality lenses capture the event’s intimacy. We use professional wireless microphones to ensure every word is clear while maintaining a discreet presence. 

Meanwhile, a dedicated remote producer moderates the virtual ceremony online, ensuring online guests stay engaged and connected without technical disruptions. We broadcast to well-known sites like Vimeo and Facebook — places most celebrants already know. Our goal is simple: make the technology invisible so everyone can focus on the moment, not the mechanics.

It’s not always possible to attend a memorial celebration in person; medical, financial, or familial needs often dictate travel realities. But distance shouldn’t mean missing out. Wildflower offers professional live streaming so loved ones can witness, remember, and honor their loved ones no matter where they are. Our streams bring people together in real-time while preserving moments that matter forever.
