Wedding VR: how videographers offer VR wedding films | ReVeil
What is wedding VR?
Wedding VR, also called VR wedding videography or 360 wedding videography, is a wedding filmed in 360 degrees and delivered so the couple can stand back inside it in a virtual reality headset. Instead of watching a film from the outside, they look around the ceremony, the toasts and the dance floor from where they stood.
ReVeil goes further than a 360 video. Every wedding is built into a VR world, scene by scene from getting ready through send off, with as many as 100+ moments a couple can move between. It plays in ReVeil's own native app on Meta Quest.
How wedding VR went global
For years, VR wedding videography was a novelty: a niche service offered by a handful of videographers and companies, one wedding at a time.
ReVeil, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, made it go viral worldwide. A reel of a couple reliving their wedding in a headset was featured by Meta and Meta Quest, picked up by Pubity, and covered by publications like Yahoo Finance and Morningstar. Couples everywhere started asking their own videographers for it.
So ReVeil opened its software to every wedding videographer in the world: the same Studio and VR delivery ReVeil uses for its own weddings. ReVeil is pioneering the shift of wedding VR from a novelty a few offer into a global service for couples and videographers everywhere, and VR wedding videographers are now appearing in markets around the world with ReVeil as the software behind them.
Where ReVeil fits in the market
Most VR wedding offerings today come from individual videographers or small teams who film one wedding at a time and deliver the 360 files themselves, usually as a YouTube playlist or a gallery or drive link the couple opens in the headset's browser.
ReVeil is the first platform built so any wedding videographer, anywhere, can offer VR at weddings quickly and with almost no change to how they already work. ReVeil handles the entire VR side: the review, the world build, publishing, hosting and the headset app. The videographer keeps their couples, their brand and their rates.

Why videographers add VR
VR is a premium service couples are already asking for, and few videographers in any market offer it yet. Sell it on its own or bundle it into your packages.
ReVeil Studio starts at $495 per wedding for the VR service, with optional add-ons like The Veil for your couple's phone and desktop. You set your own rate for your couple and keep the difference, so it adds revenue from the first wedding. No subscription and no cut of your rates. Unless you cover it, the couple pays ReVeil $6/month for 350 GB for storage from the wedding date. You are not a ReVeil contractor: no tax forms, and it works internationally.
Built for reliving a wedding, anywhere
ReVeil was built for one job: reliving a wedding as immersively as possible. In the headset, couples open ReVeil's own Meta-approved app on Meta Quest and move through their day scene by scene, instead of scrolling a list of 360 files.
The headset is the most immersive way in, not the only one. Through The Veil, ReVeil's sister platform, the wedding is on desktop and phone, so a couple can take their 360 films with them and share it with family and friends who don't own a headset. Each wedding also gets one designed page for every photo, film and reel from the day, and a private guest QR feed.
