I was a guest at a wedding and this was played, I would think wedding video was a joke.
Wow, I had always assumed that if anyone were bold enough to tackle an SDE, they would be halfway decent, but it appears that there's no silver in this industry that the very worst can't tarnish.
Shifting gears a bit - I listened to the EventDV/Grass Valley/Von Lanken webinar today on the subject. One of the topics was
how the SDE is presented (projector vs tv screen). I know people that do both, and I would prefer to setup a large lcd outside the reception hall where guests can stop at their leisure. Less stress for a number of reasons; however, the lesser of the two in generating that communal emotional punch.
I wonder, though, if there's much difference in how much it leads to referrals.

With only 2 people we have to capitalize every spare moment. I do tell customers we need a minimum of 3.5 hours between the end of the ceremony and showtime. We usually show them at the end of dinner so if they are having a 4pm ceremony they can't get a SDE. Once you do a few they are less stressful although leading up to the day I always wonder why I do them. This year we only have about 3 of them scheduled but they are all in the same month....August is gonna be a fun one.
