Memorial Service AV & Streaming

Job ID: 40623644

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

On Tuesday, November 7, I’m hosting a celebration-of-life at Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit, NJ (07901) from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm and I need an experienced AV professional who can handle everything on-site.

Here’s what the day looks like: guests will gather in the Arboretum’s indoor space for tributes, music, and photo montages, then move outside for an informal reception. I want everyone present to hear clearly, and family members overseas to watch the ceremony live.

The scope is straightforward:
• Set up a reliable sound system so speakers, a handheld mic, and background music are crisp and feedback-free.
• Capture the ceremony with at least one HD camera (two angles preferred) and stream it simultaneously on Zoom and YouTube.
• Record the full program and hand off the raw video and audio files at the end of the event (no post-production required).

You’ll need to arrive early for load-in and testing, bring any mixers, wireless mics, cameras, switcher, tripods, lighting, and a stable internet solution (hard line or bonded cellular) to keep the streams solid. I’ll coordinate with the venue so you have access and power where you need it.

Deliverables I expect before you leave:
1. A smooth, uninterrupted live stream viewable on both platforms.
2. High-quality raw recordings (video and separate audio track) transferred to my external drive or cloud folder.
3. All equipment removed and the space restored to its original state.

If you know the venue already, great—if not, a quick site check beforehand is welcome. Please let me know about your gear list, past livestream examples, and any questions so we can make this memorial run flawlessly.
