GOLF CLUB
Extras
Built on the shores of beautiful Crystal Lake, the club offers wonderful views of our golf course & lake.
Extras that companies and providers offer vary, so ask about: • e-vites for live stream guests • a webpage where guests can sign in and view your wedding • live technical support • live viewer comments capability • password protection • an on-demand viewing period • how many online guests can view the video simultaneously • video viewing on multiple devices • sample wedding videos so you can see what the end product looks like. Ultimately, you need to clarify what’s important to you. Do you want all the bells and whistles? Do you need a low-cost solution? Or, do you want nothing more than to hand all the geeky details over to someone else’s capable hands? Whatever you decide, Cosco adds, don’t give this job to a newbie. You don’t want any glitches with an event like a wedding. “We would recommend going with a company that is established, knows how to do it, and basically has worked out all the bugs.” Connie Jeske Crane is a full-time freelance writer and reports frequently on weddings, parenting, sustainability and social media.
