How Much Does it Cost to Stream an Event in Nashville

Event streaming is a growing trend among businesses throughout Nashville. Widespread closures to all non-essential businesses and lockdowns in Tennessee as well as throughout the country, largely contributed to the trend. Business owners seeking to remain connected and engaged with their customers pivoted and found new opportunities to reach their audiences. As a result, many turned to live streaming events and many more are considering the shift, but how much does it cost to stream an event in Nashville?

That’s a common question that many clients ask us at Beverly Boy Productions. We tell clients that the cost to live stream an event can range between about $1,000 and $5,000 depending on various factors.

The size of the event, technical needs, crew needs and location can all play a part.

Nashville Event Streaming Costs

The crew is one of the most influential factors in determining the total cost of streaming an event in Nashville.

A small crew with few technical needs can be secured for a single day event for about $1,000. If a medium-sized crew is required, the costs can range up to about $5,000 for the single day event.

Crew costs typically range between about $100 and $250 per crew member, per hour. 

Expect to pay the following:

• Director – up to $250 per hour
•  
• Camera Operator – up to $400 per hour
•  
• Equipment – up to $100s per hour
•  
• Narrator – up to $400 per hour
•  
• Switcher – up to $200 per hour
•  
• Streaming platform – $50 to $1,000 (depends on the platform and usage)
•  
• B-Roll – usually a percentage of the total cost between 10 and 50%
•  
• Miscellaneous Fees – very little or could be 1,000s

In addition to these costs, when you ask, “How much does it cost to stream an event in Nashville?” we also consider whether or not you will need a broadcast engineer for your event stream.

The addition of an event broadcast engineer can add to your total expected expenses but will bring value to your stream.

Additional Nashville Live Streaming Costs

In addition to the crew costs, when you ask, “How much does it cost to stream an event in Nashville?”

We also think about the length of the event. A multi-day event can cost tens of thousands to stream, especially if a large crew is required for the event.

Before streaming your event it’s important to determine what your technical needs will be.

Will a CDN be required? Will a large production crew be needed? Is additional equipment required? What technology will be required to ensure 4K support?

These are all considerations that a professional event streaming crew will make when you hire a professional.

As you can see, the total cost of streaming an event in Nashville can range between about $1,000 and $5,000 for a single day event and a multi-day event can cost significantly more.
