Your Banquet is Back On!
BanquetStream is your Virtual Fundraising Event streaming service. The COVID-19 crisis closed fundraising venues for pregnancy help centers and clinics—but managed to leave Planned Parenthood open. Life-affirming centers and clinics needed a way to hold engaging, premium-level, scalable events to bring in much-needed funding. So many hosts were asking about virtual banquet alternatives that we surveyed their needs and created the BanquetStream Solution.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Received Rave Reviews!
Who has time to learn how to create a virtual event? Not me! BanquetStream did it all for us! Dr. Marc Newman and his team listened to our needs, our vision, our goals and then, put it together in a virtual event that has received rave reviews from our viewers! The product is incredible! The service was outstanding! The process was uncomplicated! And the platform provides helpful and efficient analytics and communication tools. If you're going virtual, I highly recommend BanquetStream!

It Was Easy!
Working with BanquetStream was easy. It was a comfort to have them putting everything together for us in a professional manner. It totally took away the stress of trying to figure it all out on our own. We had no issues with the actual launch of our event and everyone who has seen it has given us positive feedback. We continue to have watch parties scheduled and are more than 75% on the way to meeting our financial goal.

More Than Exceeded My Expectations!
BanquetStream was the solution we needed to solve the problem of having a virtual fundraiser. Marc walked us through the process step-by-step. I just had to follow his directions. He and his team put together a great event. The support I received from BanquetStream has been amazing. Our virtual fundraiser has more than exceeded my expectations. It has been a successful fundraising event for our center.

Record Breaking Banquet!
We weren't sure what to expect for our first virtual banquet, but we are so glad we used BanquetStream. We exceeded our fundraising goal AND had a record breaking banquet for our center!

Reached More Donors!
Working with BanquetStream was a delight. From start to finish they made the process of providing a cost-effective virtual banquet seamless, and we reached more potential donors than ever before. What's more, several people plan to host watch parties because we have access to Marc's presentation until January 31, 2021. I give Marc and his team my highest recommendation.

What You Get
Virtual Event Landing Page
Your ministry gets its own landing page, based on your theme, with a live event countdown timer to remind guests when your virtual event kicks off. There, guests can get to know your keynote speaker through an intro video and bio, and discover the benefits of attending.
Live Chat
Enhance your virtual event with live chat. Live Chat allows your guests to communicate and connect with one another during the virtual event, encouraging each other to be involved and donate.
Facebook Evites
Expand your virtual event guest list through Facebook evites. BanquetStream will create the Evite material and then use the power of friends lists to grow the size and diversity of your audience. Many people who would never attend a live banquet, will respond to a more casual invitation.
Guest Engagement
Your guests will register for your event on your virtual event landing page. You'll receive all registrants' names, email addresses, and even phone numbers (for all guests choosing to receive text message reminders). All communication will contain a link to your virtual event landing page.
Professional Production
Every part of your virtual event—from the welcome to the keynote address to the pledge and conclusion—is created in a professional studio using high-quality cameras and crystal-clear audio. Your event is put together by experienced video editors, making sure your guests are engaged from start to finish.
Donations
You can encourage generous giving by providing donor options. Whether guests want to use a traditional pledge card or e-giving they can access both from your event page.
Watch Parties
Unlike a traditional banquet, your virtual event doesn't stop. You can leverage your event by hosting watch parties for up to six months after your initial date.
This will create additional outreach, more engagement, and increased support. Live Chat is available for watch parties.
