Venue prep
- 1Walk the venue early. Test upload speed in two or three spots.
- 2Note the strongest cellular zone — usually outside.
- 3Mark a fallback spot for the reception block.
- 4Begin uploads early so the buffer is full when the network drops.
Common mistakes
- Trusting the venue's promised WiFi without testing.
Pro tips
- Carry a small 5G hotspot as backup — pays for itself in one wedding.
