Our Virtual Event (www.OurVirtualEvent.com<\/a>), the brainchild of two wedding industry veterans, provides couples with a professional service to host their special event online during social distancing.\u00a0The service provides pro lighting and sound equipment, live technical set up and support, live editing, guest experience packages and virtual wedding planning to create an engaging and interactive experience.<\/p>\n

Founded by event planner\u00a0Ayesha Hakki\u00a0of Events by Ayesha and\u00a0Pervez Taufiq\u00a0of PTaufiq Photography and Videography, the two have envisioned a service that adds a professional touch to socially distant weddings and events providing both the hosts and guests a shared experience that is beautiful, engaging, broadcast-worthy, secure and free of technical glitches.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve created a service where we help couples create a broadcast-worthy event at a venue of their choice. We supply the decor and ship professional lighting and sound equipment that we then help set up remotely via a laptop or tablet,\u201d says Ms Hakki.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also create an interactive experience with their guests by shipping each guest what we call a Guest Experience Package that can be full of things like wedding cake and champagne. At the time of the event, while the couple is taking their vows, we instruct guests to get their toast ready or have their cake in front of them so that all participants can enjoy the couple\u2019s special moments with them in real time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Mr Taufiq says, \u201cOur service includes technical set up and support. Our tech teams work with the couple before the event to make sure everything is set up on their end. Separately, we work with the guests to make sure everyone\u2019s equipment is working. Then, at the time of the event, our team runs the event in the background with live tech support so that if anyone has an issue, we can resolve that without disturbing the rest of the participants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also offer a level of online security,\u201d adds Mr Taufiq, a former white hat for corporate cyber security. \u201cOur teams are well versed in all of the major video platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Couples can choose from a complete remote planning service starting at $35\/pp or option to have 1-2 people come to the venue and set up the decor and equipment for $75\/pp. \u201cThe sky’s the limit, we can do basically whatever the couple imagines as long as we maintain social distance between family members, guests and vendors,\u201d adds Ms Hakki.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can arrange for any special touches like light and smoke-filled first dances, filming the couple skydiving or arranging for tribute videos to be pre-recorded and played during the event. We just want to help couples have a memorable day despite the current pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our Virtual Event<\/a>\u00a0is available nationwide and for destination weddings as per CDC guidelines. Contact details: Skype interviews with Ayesha Hakki and Pervez Taufiq or hi-res images at 917 535 2424. 43fr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
