This strikes me as spammy.

We are currently working on this project for Start Up Weekend gathering feedback.

So instead of doing things like drinking, dancing, and live actual human vocal conversations complete with eye to eye contact -- you'd rather have people playing with their smart phones during one of the most important moment in a couple people's lives?

Apparently you're not aware than most wedding receptions frown heavily on cell phone use.

Although stated in an assy way, billirvine does have a point -- I'd shoot the person who shows up to my wedding/reception and sits glued to their cell phone.

But there are other ways that people could achieve the goals stated in your video. Perhaps an iPad that sits on a table by the guest book, where an app is running that lets people record their thoughts and wishes on video, or leave a doodle/drawing, a photo, or pick up the tablet and walk it around.

One of the things I hate about weddings and receptions are the camera crews which get in the way of my enjoyment, sticking their camera in my face and forcing me to be spontaneous and well-wishing on command. I'd like a way to maybe take a moment, sit in a quiet spot, and congratulate the couple. And camera crews inevitably miss great moments where people are being spontaneous and emotional -- in my opinion there is definite value to being able to memorialize some of these.

iPad as a guest book.

Someone make this, become rich, send me a $15,000 check as a consultation fee.

Apologies, my son is planning his wedding, the proximity to personal irritation as a result of guests having cell phones out at an expensive function paid for by the family is palpable.

Not sure if I am overlooking something, but so far there is relatively little information on the project.

What I could see the most potential in is in syndicating the different pictures and videos that different guests make with their own devices, and create some form of app based on that data. Like some form of picture book, but just as an app.

On the one hand, this seems not that easy to scale, but on the other you could get wedding planners to include your product into their portfolio of services. This should allow you to demand higher fees and direct commission based sales channel.

But maybe I am just misunderstanding the whole idea. Shouldn't write comments being slightly intoxicated :)

I really appreciate your comments. It's very hard to explain an idea in a few words, so, what we want is to keep the engagement of the guests by learning a bit more about the bride and broom via games or fun activities during the wedding party. An added value will be to get gather the guests experience sharing their photos and videos.

Doesn't this have the very real potential of causing the guests who don't have smart phones to feel left-out. Especially the senior family members?
