So you’re getting married? Congrats! Now you have a wedding to plan or you can hire a wedding planner, of course. But in any case, you’ll have a lot to decide about.
In general, the three most important things for most couples are:
1. The budget,
2. The number of guests and
3. The venue.
How much you should spend on your wedding party is a question you should consider the moment you got engaged on Saint Valentine’s Day because you know it’s an inevitable “investment” on a lifetime memory. Even if you ask for wedding help instead of wedding gifts, there’s a budget you’re going to need. In the United States couples, on average, spend between $20,000 and $33,000. However, most couples spend less than $10.000.
When it comes to the number of people, 120 used to be the ideal number but recent studies show that you’re going to invite a minimum of 150 friends and relatives. That number will determine how big the venue should be. And when you consider the place for your party, you have to take into account the audiovisual equipment at the same time; this can make or break your party. Having the right lighting according to the theme you choose can set the atmosphere you’ve always dreamed of. Lights play an important role; imagine a warm ballroom with a gobo projecting your initials – the just married couple, in the middle of the floor. LCD projectors strategically placed displaying romantic scenes in huge screens for the first wedding dance.
But wait, what about the ceremony? Oh, you want it on the beach, that’s an option if you live in Fort Lauderdale or Miami. Why not take advantage of the beach and have a non-traditional ceremony if you’re in Florida? Sure, then you can follow with a more usual reception room like a hotel ballroom or hall. Audio in an open area like the beach can be more complicated, as there’re the street noises, the weather conditions, the number of guests again, but if you hire audio rental professionals, there’ll be nothing to be concerned about.
How to place the speakers to maximize the audio experience for a day you’ll always remember in the hall you booked is vital. Well, how many guests are expected to your gig will determine the sound system requirements and of course the venue itself, how high the ceilings are, how many rooms you need audio in. “Will they hear the bridesmaid when she gives her speech?” There’re so many things to take into consideration when it comes to AV equipment, it’s better to leave it to the professionals.
