Live Maui Webcasts and Video Is Awarded a BIG Opportunity

It’s an amazing day here at Live Maui Webcasts and Video. Not only have we finished the November/ December wedding period off with hundreds of happy wedding couples and their beloved viewers, but we also have some big news to share…

First off though, our most recent weddings… Robin and Ben tied the knot at Paipu Beach in south Maui in front of a small group of family gathered on the beach with them and then of course many many more watching the live webcast from the comfort of their own homes back on the mainland. We had loved-ones tuning in from California, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Indian, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado, Florida and several other states. Weather was perfect.

Jessica and Eric from Indiana also had their wedding at Paipu Beach and seemed to be VERY POPULAR PEOPLE! They had hundreds of people visiting the website from Indiana and Kentucky. The weather was amazing, but different… usually we’ve got trade winds blowing (from the north east), but this time we had Kona’s coming in off the water on the south shore. It made for a spectacular sunset. Congratulations Jessica and Eric!

And the big news?

Now I’m back in NY.

Why?

Well, that’s the news I wanted to share. As paradoxical as it may seem, Live Maui Webcasts was awarded a contract by NBC Universal Sports (yes, that’s the NBC) to produce, shoot and edit a pilot piece on alpine skiing to be aired on the weekend of December 13 and 14th! The show will be piped into over 30 million North American household TV sets and millions more on the web. Universal Sports (http://UniversalSports.com) specializes in providing live and taped coverage of Olympic Sports that you don’t usually get to see on network television (although, the Aspen Winternational coverage was just on NBC that featured footage shot by Live Maui Webcasts and Video). It’s a cool concept and gives niche sports enthusiast a channel to watch their favorite sport.

I know it sounds weird, a Maui-based video company producing a piece on a winter sport? But there is an exaplanation… we are well known for our in-depth interview style, artistic merit and our service promise that guarantees our work, but in the case of NBC, the athlete we will be featuring lives on Maui part-time in the off-season. It makes sense that a Maui-based company would be the one sent to produce a piece on her off season training and preparation.

And now we’re in New York, because we’re exploring the possibility of joining the Audi FIS World Cup Alpine Ski circuit in Europe all winter to produce shows for the live skiing coverage. Exciting prospects… I’ll keep you in the loop.

What does that mean for live wedding webcast operations back on Maui? Well, we will be working on a more limited schedule through April and might not be able to accomodate everyone. Please make sure to contact us as soon as possible to reserve your date for a Live Webcast and Video. The sooner, the better the chance of availability.

That’s Me, Stephan in the field.

Thank you everyone for your support over the years, from website visitors to our thousands of viewers, from our beautiful wedding couples to local wedding coordinators and vendors. It’s truly because of you that we continue to do what we do and prosper.

Mahalo Nui Loa!
