Two march-ins, ten courses.
Photographed from every table.
This page is for the couple planning a hotel ballroom wedding dinner, and for the jie mei who has been handed the AV laptop. The banquet is a long night with a fixed order: the first march-in, the montage, the courses, the outfit change, the second march-in with the sparklers, the yum seng drawn out three times, and then the couple going table to table for a group photo with every one of them. The photographer follows the couple. The three hundred guests at the tables see the rest, and the relatives in Kuala Lumpur and Penang who could not come down see nothing at all unless someone streams it. One QR code on every table collects the room's view and puts it on the LED wall as it arrives.
One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.
The moments guests actually photograph at Chinese wedding banquets
Why Chinese wedding banquets work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
The morning is on the LED wall by dinner
The gatecrash games, the tea ceremony and the outfit changes all happen before most guests arrive. The heng dai and jie mei upload them from their phones during the afternoon, and by the time the doors open the ballroom's LED wall is already playing the groom eating the bitter and sour, with the evening's uploads joining the loop as they land.
Relatives across the Causeway watch the yum seng
Every banquet has an uncle in Johor Bahru or an aunt in Ipoh who could not get the leave. Live Broadcast is included with the Event Pass: up to 90 minutes with sound on a private link, for as many as 100 viewers, opened in the browser on any phone with no app and no account.
Thirty tables, one seating chart, one code
A banquet of three hundred guests means a seating chart on an easel and a queue at the reception table. Build the tables in the same event and guests find their own seat from the invite link, then scan the code on that table for the photos. The heng dai on reception duty can check arrivals off the same list.
No app. No account. One scan.
Guests point their camera at a QR code and are uploading in seconds. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates a login, and the grandparents can do it as easily as the teenagers.
Live photo wall on any screen
Open the slideshow on a TV, projector or laptop and new uploads appear as they arrive. Grid and collage layouts, transition presets, and a phone remote to control it from across the room.
Broadcast it to the people who couldn't come
A private live broadcast is included with the Event Pass: stream up to 90 minutes to 100 viewers on a private link, with sound, and keep the recording afterwards.
Seating chart guests can look up
Build tables, assign seats, and let guests find their own place from the invite link instead of hunting for a name on an easel.
Door check-in from your phone
See who has arrived, who is still expected, and how many are in each party — without a clipboard at the entrance.
Full-resolution downloads
Download any photo, or the whole event as one archive, at original quality. What guests uploaded is what you keep — no compression, no watermark on paid events.
How it works
Set up in a minute. Collect for the whole event.
Create the event for the banquet date. Add the morning as a sub-event if the gatecrash and the tea ceremony are on the same day, so the whole day sits under one code.
Print the QR code on the table number cards and the reception table. Hand the slideshow link to whoever runs the AV laptop, and send the broadcast link to the family in Malaysia with the time.
The bridal party uploads the morning, the guests upload the night, and the LED wall plays what has arrived. Start the broadcast a few minutes before the first march-in.
Download the originals for the album and the photographer's comparison, and send the gallery link to every table in the thank-you message.
Try uploading as a guest.
Scan this with your phone the way a guest at your event would. Choose a sample photo and upload it from your browser, then open the demo gallery to see it land. Photos pass a quick AI check first; videos wait for a person.
- Scan the code with your phone camera — it opens straight in the browser.
- Upload a sample photo. Look for the upload confirmation so you know it reached the host.
Use a sample you are comfortable sharing with Picsui. Please keep personal or sensitive photos out of the demo.

Getting the most from Chinese wedding banquets
Talk to the hotel's AV team the week before, not on the night. Most ballrooms run the montage from a laptop plugged into the LED wall, and that same laptop can open the slideshow in a browser tab. Ask the banquet manager whether the wall takes a laptop input, which cable it needs, and whether the laptop has the hotel's Wi-Fi password. Then give the jie mei on AV duty two tabs: the montage video and the slideshow. She plays the montage when the emcee cues it and switches back to the slideshow during the courses, when guests have time to look up. The phone remote lets her pause on a photo the emcee wants to talk about.
The table-by-table group photo is where the photographer earns the fee, and it is also where the guests' phones produce the best candid shots, because every table has someone holding a phone up while the couple poses. Ask the emcee to mention the QR code once, right before the couple starts the rounds, with one line: your table photo is on the card in front of you, scan it and add your own. The uploads arrive in a wave that follows the couple around the room, and the slideshow shows each table's photos to the next table over.
Decide who keeps the gallery after the night. Most couples fly the next morning, so the heng dai who ran the reception table or a sibling should have the host login to approve the queue, close the gallery to new uploads after the last guest leaves, and download the archive. The full-resolution originals matter more here than at most events, because the ballroom is dark, the phones were far from the stage, and the album designer will want every pixel. Keep the archive before the 365 days of hosting run out, and name the couple as the recipient so the finished gallery reaches them after the honeymoon.
Common questions about Chinese wedding banquets
Can we put the guest photos on the ballroom LED wall?
Yes, and it is the reason most Singapore couples use this. Open the slideshow link in a browser on the AV laptop, put that laptop on the LED wall as the hotel already does for the montage, and every approved upload appears in the loop as it arrives. Grid and collage layouts and the transition presets are chosen from the phone remote, so the jie mei on AV duty controls it from her seat. Test it during the afternoon setup with the morning's gatecrash photos already loaded.
Our relatives in Malaysia cannot make the trip. Can they watch?
They can. Live Broadcast is included with the Event Pass and streams up to 90 minutes with sound to as many as 100 viewers on a private link. Send it in the family group the day before with the start time, and they open it in a browser on any phone, no app and no account. Most couples stream the first march-in, the montage and the yum seng, then let the link show the gallery afterwards so the family sees the table photos as they arrive through the night.
The gatecrash and tea ceremony are in the morning. Do they go in the same gallery?
Yes. The QR code works from the moment you create the event, so the heng dai and jie mei can upload the morning's games, the fetching of the bride and the tea ceremony from their phones on the way to the hotel. Add the morning as a sub-event under the same code if you want it kept apart from the banquet in the gallery, or simply let it all land together. Either way the LED wall has a full morning to play before the first course.
Many of our older guests do not read English. Can they still upload?
Usually, with a little help. Guest pages are in English, Español, Français, chosen from the phone's settings, and the host dashboard is in English. The upload page is a camera button and a short list of options, so a grandchild at the table showing an ah ma once is normally enough, and at a banquet every table has a grandchild. Seat one younger cousin per table as the unofficial helper. The broadcast link for relatives abroad needs no reading at all.
How much does it cost for a banquet of three hundred guests?
An Event Pass is $29 for the event, the same for thirty tables as for three. It includes unlimited uploads with a 25 GB fair-use bound, the slideshow, the seating chart and guest list, host review, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting, with Live Broadcast included for the relatives across the Causeway. There is no subscription and no per-guest fee, which makes it a small line on a banquet budget measured in tables.
