Planning Snapshot
- Confirm Margaret Craig or Thomas Hyde when enquiring.
- Keep the camera footprint small and clear of ceremony movement.
- Agree supplier access and setup timing with the registry in advance.
Melbourne Venue
Wedding live streaming at the Old Treasury Building.
Registry ceremonies at the Old Treasury Building are structured, time-bound events in one of two very different rooms. The livestream needs to be compact, discreet and ready before the ceremony begins, with clear audio and a simple link for family who cannot be in Melbourne.
Venue Context
Two registry rooms, two different coverage plans.
The Victorian Marriage Registry conducts ceremonies at the Old Treasury Building on Spring Street in East Melbourne. Its Margaret Craig Room accommodates the couple and up to 55 guests, with a central aisle. The smaller Thomas Hyde Room is designed for the couple and up to eight guests and does not have an aisle.
Those differences affect lens choice, tripod footprint and where a camera can sit without interrupting the celebrant or guests. Registry timing also makes early access and a pre-ceremony audio check especially important. The plan should match the confirmed room rather than rely on a generic city-wedding setup.
Check the Victorian Marriage Registry’s current room and guest information.
The Stream Plan
Small ceremonies still need deliberate audio.
A close room does not automatically produce clear online sound. The celebrant, vows and readings need to be intelligible without placing equipment in the couple’s way or changing the character of the ceremony.
- A tested private link sent to guests before the ceremony.
- Discreet audio capture with a backup recording path.
- A compact camera position suited to the confirmed room.
Coverage Fit
Essential is the natural starting point for a registry ceremony.
Premium may suit couples who want a second angle or a more polished recording, but additional coverage elsewhere in the city should be quoted from the full timeline rather than folded into a ceremony-only assumption.

Old Treasury Livestream FAQ
Practical answers for a registry ceremony.
Can family overseas watch the ceremony live?
Yes, when venue approval, access timing and a workable equipment position are confirmed. Guests receive a private link that works in a standard browser without joining a video call.
Will cameras interrupt a small registry ceremony?
The plan uses a compact footprint and prioritises clear sightlines for people in the room. Final placement depends on the booked room and any instructions from registry staff.
Can we add reception coverage elsewhere?
Yes, but travel, parking, access and the gap between locations need to be included in the run sheet. Send both addresses and timings for an accurate quote.
Next Step
Send the date and ceremony time and Gonzalo can confirm the best package fit.
