PA System - Ensuring that your ceremony is heard

 
For all but the smallest of ceremonies a PA system is a must. Unless you have very few guests or are in a space where the natural acoustics are good, I will bring and use a high-quality Mipro wireless PA system that will amplify the sound sufficiently for over 200 people to hear every word even in an outdoor situation.

While I have a voice that projects well, using a microphone means that I can use my natural speaking voice, and that your guests will be able to hear your promises.

My PA system has adjustable volume so that your intimate words will not be booming through the microphone. You probably won't even notice the amplification - but your guests will.

Even where the venue provides a microphone I bring my own system because being able to use a head or lapel microphone together with a separate hand-held microphone to use for your vows allows more flexibility in positioning than does a single microphone on a stand. 

One word of warning, though. PA systems and rain or being in full sun just don't mix. Nothing drains a battery quicker than heat, and getting wet will cause significant damage to an expensive piece of equipment. So a plan B is a must-have.
