For the events that don’t fit a plan.
Custom is where the big things live — large one-time and recurring events, ticketed and nonprofit galas, members-only and multisite gatherings. You get extra security, the reach to notify everyone the instant you go live, and — above all — a dedicated team who plans, rehearses, and monitors your event live with you, so you never face the big day alone.
Custom is bespoke — let’s plan yours together. Smaller and standard? Starting free has you covered.
One tier, every kind of moment
Your weekly service has a rhythm. These don’t always — they’re the once-a-year, once-in-a- lifetime, and out-of-the-ordinary gatherings where getting it right really counts.
Large one-time events
Conferences, special services, and big single occasions that outgrow a weekly plan — hosted, gated, and measured for the one day it matters.
Large recurring broadcasts
A regional weekly service, a monthly network gathering, a season-long series — the same secure setup, running on a schedule, with attendance rolled up every time.
Nonprofit & fundraising galas
Banquets, giving nights, and mission events — register attendees, collect gifts, and know exactly who joined so every thank-you goes to a real name.
Ticketed & for-profit events
Paid conferences, paid trainings, and revenue events — put it behind a paywall, collect payment at the door, and only ticket-holders get in.
Members-only & leadership
Business meetings, elder and board sessions, class gatherings — gated to your own list so only the people you invite can watch.
Multi-campus & multisite
Send one live feed to every campus and living room at once, on one secure watch page, with attendance rolled up by name across the whole network.
Private one-time broadcasts
Funerals, weddings, and ordinations you want kept private, recorded cleanly, and shared only with the family and church.
Big seasonal peaks
Easter, Christmas Eve, and Watch Night — the services with the biggest online crowd, where headroom and a real attendee list matter most.
Locked down as tight as the moment demands
A public link is a leak — anyone can wander in, and no one leaves a name. A Custom event is yours to control, start to finish: paywalled, members-only, or invite-only, with a verified number on every seat.
You decide exactly who gets in
Gate to a verified mobile number, your member list, or a paid ticket — as tight as an invite-only board meeting or as open as a public revival. No link-forwarding to strangers, no gate-crashers.
Never floating on a public feed
Your event lives on your own private PealCast watch page — not adrift on a social platform for any stranger or algorithm to find. You host it; you control it; you can geo-restrict it to the US & Canada.
You leave with a real attendee list
Every person who watched is captured by name and verified number — ready for thank-yous, follow-up, giving receipts, and next year’s invitation. A public link leaves you nothing.
Notify the masses the moment it starts
A big or one-time event only works if people actually show up — and a calendar invite from three weeks ago won’t do it. The instant you go live, PealCast sends your whole list a one-tap alert by text, email, and push: “We’re live — join now →.”
That single, well-timed nudge is the reach advantage: for a time-sensitive gathering, reaching everyone the second the doors open is the difference between a packed house and an empty one — at any size of list.
- Text through Planning Center — the message people open in seconds.
- Email with the one-tap watch link, ready to forward to a household.
- Planning Center push straight to your members’ Church Center app.
- No cap on who you notify — invite everyone; you only ever pay for who watches.
At the door, you can ask for…
- A verified mobile number — a real cellphone, not junk or a landline
- Payment for a ticket or a gift, processed securely
- A few registration details — name, church, whatever you need
- Nothing at all — leave it open, if that fits the moment
Free, ticketed, or members-only — the way churches do it
Some events should be paid, some should be members-only, and some should be wide open. You choose. Collect a verified number and, when it fits, payment — great for ticketed conferences, paid trainings, and fundraising galas alike.
It’s a warm welcome desk, not a velvet rope: enough to know who’s in the room and to cover your costs, never a wall between people and worship.
How a Custom event works
Five steps, and we walk them with you.
- 1
Point your feed at PealCast
Send us your live feed over RTMP or SRT — from the encoder or camera gear you already have, from software like OBS, or as an inbound simulcast from BoxCast, Resi, or Restream. We host it as your streaming home.
- 2
Set the gate + the security level
Choose how people get in: a verified phone number, an optional paid ticket, member-list-only access, and any registration fields you want to collect. As tight or as open as the moment calls for.
- 3
Notify everyone the moment you start
The instant you go live, PealCast texts, emails, and pushes your whole list “We’re live — join now →,” so a one-time event actually fills up instead of playing to an empty room.
- 4
They watch on your secure page
Attendees tap the link and watch on a clean, private PealCast page — no app to install, on any phone, tablet, or computer.
- 5
You get the list + the recording
When it’s over, you have the full attendee list by name and verified number, per-person watch stats synced to Planning Center, and a recording ready to share or keep private.
A real team beside you — from planning to the last “amen”
The biggest difference at the Custom tier isn’t a feature — it’s people. You get a dedicated team who knows your event by name, rehearses it with you, and watches the stream live on the day, so you never face the big moment alone.
A dedicated success manager
One real person who knows your church and your event by name — your single point of contact from the first call through the follow-up. Not a ticket queue, not a new face every time you reach out.
Dedicated technical contacts
A direct line to the engineers who actually run your stream — for encoder setup, SRT/RTMP, your gate, custom domain, and Planning Center. We configure it with you, not from a help article.
Live event monitoring
On event day our team watches your stream in real time — health, viewers, and delivery — and steps in the instant anything looks off. You focus on the room; we keep our eyes on the tech.
Full rehearsal + run-of-show
A complete tech rehearsal before the big day — your feed, your gate, your notifications, end to end — so going live is calm and routine, never a gamble.
Priority response — phone & text
A guaranteed fast lane the whole time it matters: reach a real human by phone or text during your event window, with an SLA on response — not a wait for a reply.
Concierge onboarding
We set up your first event with you — channels, gate, domain, integrations — and hand you a playbook your team can run every time after.
One private destination — never a public feed.
PealCast hosts your event and is the sole, secure place your people watch. Your feed goes to you, your congregation, and no one else — not adrift on a social platform where the audience quietly slips away.
A plan built around you
Large, recurring, ticketed, or multisite — Custom is the tier for churches and networks with more than about 375 watchers, and for any engagement that needs its own shape.
