Twenty people in the room.
Everyone else on the link.
This page is for the couple whose solemnisation is a small thing on purpose, at ROM itself, a restaurant private room, a parent's living room, a hotel function room or a garden. Sometimes it is months before the banquet, sometimes the same morning. The guest list is the people who could not wait: parents, siblings, grandparents, the two witnesses and a handful of close friends. There is often no photographer, just twenty or thirty phones pointed at the same small table while the solemniser reads the vows. And there is always someone abroad, a grandmother in Hong Kong or a brother in Melbourne, who needed the link more than the invitation.
One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.
The moments guests actually photograph at ROM solemnisations
Why ROM solemnisations work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
Grandparents abroad see the vows as they happen
A solemnisation is short enough to stream in full. Live Broadcast is included with the Event Pass and carries up to 90 minutes with sound to as many as 100 viewers on a private link, so the grandmother who could not fly hears the solemniser's words, the vows and the applause, on any phone, with no app.
Thirty phones, one set of originals
Without a photographer, the record of the morning is whatever the guests shot, and it is usually good, because they were close and the room was bright. The code on the table collects every one of those at full resolution, iPhone HEICs included, before the family group chat shrinks them.
The speeches nobody scheduled
A solemnisation rarely has a programme, so the father who would have given a toast at the banquet has no moment for it here. The upload page lets him record up to 60 seconds of voice from his seat, and the friends abroad can do the same from the private link. It is all kept with the photos.
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.
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.
Voice messages
Guests record up to 60 seconds of audio right from the upload page: a blessing, a toast, a story. It is saved next to the photos in the same gallery.
A guestbook with your own question
Replace the generic prompt with one that fits the day. Written messages are collected alongside the photos and kept with the gallery.
Private by default, never indexed
The gallery is only reachable by the link or code you share. Guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers, and you can close the gallery whenever you choose.
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 solemnisation date. If the banquet is the same day, add it as a sub-event so the morning and the night stay under one code.
Send the private link to the family overseas with the time in their zone. Put one small card with the QR code on the signing table or the restaurant table.
Start the broadcast as the solemniser begins. Guests upload from their seats during the signing and over lunch, and the gallery fills before the couple has left the room.
Download the originals that week, and keep the link for the banquet montage, which is often built from exactly these photos.
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 ROM solemnisations
Stream all of it. A solemnisation runs fifteen to twenty minutes from the solemniser's opening words to the last signature, which is well inside the 90 minutes the broadcast allows, so there is no need to pick moments the way a banquet host does. Put the phone on a small tripod or a stack of books at the end of the signing table, where it sees both the couple and the solemniser, and leave it. Ask one sibling to keep an eye on it and nothing else. Send the family overseas the link the day before with the start time in their own zone, and remind them that the link opens in a browser with nothing to install.
Skip the RSVP tools and use the guestbook instead. With twenty guests you already know who is coming, and the invite list features are built for a room ten times this size. What a small solemnisation lacks is a place for the things people would have said at a bigger wedding. Turn on the guestbook with a question of your own, something like what you wish for us in the first year, and leave the code on the lunch table afterwards. The written answers, the voice messages and the video messages from the relatives on the link all land next to the photos, and the couple reads them on the wedding night.
If the banquet is later the same day, create the whole day as one event with the solemnisation as the first sub-event. The morning photos, which are often the most relaxed of the whole wedding, then sit alongside the banquet in one gallery rather than in a separate link nobody forwards. If the banquet is months away, keep the solemnisation as its own event and download the originals within the 365 days of hosting. Those originals are usually what the banquet montage is built from, and the album designer will want the full files, not the versions that went round the group chat.
Common questions about ROM solemnisations
Can my grandmother overseas watch the solemnisation?
Yes. 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. The ceremony is short enough to stream in full, from the solemniser's opening words to the signing. Send her the link the day before with the time in her zone, and she opens it in the browser on any phone or tablet with no app and no account. After the ceremony the same link shows the photos as the guests upload them over lunch.
We have no photographer. Is a gallery still worth it?
More so. When there is no photographer the only record is the guests' phones, and at a solemnisation those phones are close to the couple in a bright room, which is why the photos are usually good. Without a code, those photos end up as compressed copies in a group chat, out of order and impossible to find a year later. With one, every guest uploads the originals at full resolution before lunch is over, and the couple downloads the whole morning as one archive. The banquet montage is often made from exactly these files.
Do we need the RSVP and seating features for twenty guests?
No, and you can ignore them. They are there for the banquet, where a guest list of three hundred needs a chart. For a solemnisation the useful parts are the QR code, the broadcast for the people abroad, the guestbook with a question of your own, and the full-resolution downloads afterwards. Nothing you do not turn on appears on the guest page, so the family sees a camera button, a message box and the live link, and nothing that suggests a bigger event than the one they are at.
Is the gallery private? Some family have not been told about the banquet yet.
The gallery is only reachable by the link or code you share. It is never listed publicly, and guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers. Share the link with the people in the room and the people on the broadcast, and it goes no further unless one of them forwards it. If you want to approve every photo before the wider family sees it, turn on host review and uploads wait in your queue. You can close the gallery to new uploads whenever you like and it stays online for 365 days.
What does it cost for such a small ceremony?
An Event Pass is $29 one time, and it is the same price for twenty guests as for two hundred. It includes unlimited uploads with a 25 GB fair-use bound, voice, video and written messages, host review, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting, and Live Broadcast is included for the relatives who are watching from abroad. There is no subscription. If the banquet is later, one pass covers both as sub-events of the same day; if it is months away, the banquet is its own event.
Every photo from ROM solemnisations, in one place
One-time Event Pass, $29. No subscription, no per-guest fee.
