What gets said when you’re not in the room.

The types of messages we capture at Ever After Recordings. Timeless, personal and filled with love.

“I’ve rewritten this four times, so I’ll just say it. You were the best part of every day I can remember.”

“They told me two minutes. I’ve got eleven. Settle in.”

Your evening, with us in the corner.

A typical reception. We fit around your run sheet, your venue and your coordinator.

  1. Arrival

    While you say I do

    We arrive 30 minutes before your reception starts and set up quietly. Two chairs, soft light, cameras and microphones, and one button to start.

  2. Reception starts

    Canapés and confessions

    The Ever After recording space opens once the reception starts. Guests drift in two or three at a time, and carefully designed prompt cards are there if anyone needs a nudge.

  3. After 3 hours

    Last word from the dance floor

    Towards the end of the night, our team finds family members, grandparents and anyone who hasn’t recorded yet, and makes sure they say a few words.

  4. After

    Your film arrives

    We cut together some of our favourite quotes, stories and messages into a crafted, edited video. You also get all the raw recordings to laugh, cry and enjoy. Edited files can take up to 4 weeks.

What you’ll keep.

Not a reel of people waving at a camera. Authentic conversations, filmed properly, by the people who produce video podcasts daily.

Packages starting from $8,000 + GST

The film

A short, carefully cut story of your wedding, told by the people in it. Made for anniversaries, not just the week after.

Every conversation

Everything that’s said, you get to keep in 4K.

A proper recording environment

Multiple cameras and studio-grade microphones, styled into a corner of your venue. Your guests just sit down and talk.

About us

The people in the corner.

We’re the team behind Podwave Studios, a video podcast production company in Perth. Most weeks we’re helping people tell their stories on camera and getting nervous people to relax and open up. It’s what we do best.

Ever After Recordings brings that same studio recording experience to your reception or engagement party. 4K cameras, crystal clear sound, warm lighting and conversation cards for anyone who needs a little help.

FAQs

Common questions we get asked.

Something we haven’t covered? Email bookings@everafterrecordings.com.au and we’ll get back to you personally.

How is this different from an audio guest book?

An audio guest book is a phone on a table. We’re a proper recording setup: two chairs, soft lights, 4K cameras, studio microphones and conversation prompts for those who are shy. You see your guests’ faces, not just hear a voicemail, and it all comes back as a film you’ll want to watch.

Will it get in the way of our photographer or videographer?

Not at all. We keep to our own area and look after our own little set. Your videographer captures the day, and we capture what people want to say about you. The two work happily side by side.

What if our guests are shy?

Most people are, for the first ten seconds. That’s why we have prompt cards! If they don’t know what to say, the carefully written question cards help them speak from the heart. By the time dessert is served, there’s usually a queue for seconds and more stories.

How much space do you need?

A small corner, roughly 4m x 4m, near a power point, ideally undercover and a little away from the speakers. We’ll talk to your venue or coordinator beforehand so it fits your run sheet. We find that if the MC mentions the recording setup, people find it easily.

How long are you there for?

We arrive 30 minutes before your reception starts and record for around 3 hours. We set up quietly and pack down without a fuss at the end. If you need additional time, just let us know.

When do we get our film?

Up to 4 weeks after the wedding. You’ll get a cut-together film of the night plus every full conversation, unedited, through a private link or on a hard drive if you prefer.

Who gets to see the recordings?

Only you. Everything is delivered privately, and we never share anything without your permission and your guests’ consent. We know these stories are personal and for the happy married couple to enjoy.

Do you travel outside Perth?

Yes. We cover Perth and the Swan Valley and travel across WA, including Margaret River and the South West. Travel outside the Perth metro area is quoted separately.

Do you do engagement parties and other events?

We do. Engagement parties, milestone birthdays, anniversaries and more. If people are gathering because they love someone, we’d love to be there.

How do we book?

Complete the form or email bookings@everafterrecordings.com.au. We’ll confirm if we’re available, answer any questions you might have, send you a quote, and a deposit secures your date.

Is your date still free?

We only take a few weddings each month across Perth and WA. Tell us your date and we’ll come back to you personally.
