" The ceremony was beautiful. . .

. . .but I couldn't hear a thing !" 


Have you ever been listening to something important on the TV or radio and reached to turn up the volume? Of course! The more important the news, the more clearly we want to hear it. And what's the big news on your wedding day? Your ceremony and especially, your vows!

Family and friends, some from the four corners of the country, have come to hear you pronounce your love for each other. Remember how uncomfortable you have been when something important was being said and you couldn't quite hear it. You want to get closer to the source. Well your family and guests can't just get up and come closer during your ceremony.

Everything is stacked against sound in your outdoor or beach ceremony. No reflective surfaces. Officiates who are not used to wind and noise. And on beaches, surf roar, jet skis, aircraft, boats and even inconsiderate onlookers are just a few additional obstacles.

If the Officiate, singers, and readers can't be heard, your guests' attention wanders; they start chatting among themselves. The ceremony unravels. The answer. . . Choose a ceremony orchestra that will amplify your Officiate, musicians, readers and singers. Remember, you amplify your reception band and it's just a party and usually indoors !

You chose an outdoor wedding because it is natural, wild and beautiful but the same wild and natural setting works against you. Your outdoor wedding will be competing with nature's perfect sound machine. You can plan every detail and organize every aspect of your wedding but one. No one can control Mother Nature !

Your wedding day can dawn with brilliant crystal blue skies and perfect temperatures, but if the wind is over 15 to 20 knots, your guests will not hear your vows or carefully chosen music. Sadly, in our 30 years of outdoor and beach wedding experience, we have too often seen brides gamble, not choose amplification for outdoor weddings, and lose. Call us for more advice on this. . .we can help.



Is she off on her estimate? By how far? What is your estimate?

Using a beach wedding as an example, here are some things to factor in. Just getting the guests down to the beach will take time. Guests don't all arrive at the same time and, even if they are shuttled in, greeting old friends and family members, taki

The myth of the 20 minute outdoor wedding ceremony !

Over the years we have seen several surveys that reported that as many as 85 % of the brides interviewed underestimated how long their wedding ceremony would take. Brides were even less accurate estimating the time for outdoor and non church ceremonie
