Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life, so, understandably, you want to ensure everything is perfect.
Whilst many couples pay special attention to the music they want to have at their wedding, including picking a playlist of their favourite songs, quite often, they don’t consider the sound system needed to play them.
The right speaker system makes all the difference to the wedding DJ and crowd alike, offering you clear, quality audio to ensure every moment of your day is memorable. With this in mind, here is our guide to picking speaker systems for your wedding entertainment.
Why might you need to hire a system?
Whilst many venues will have their own sound systems and are happy to use them for your wedding entertainment, they may not offer you the best sound output. These speaker systems may be poor quality, unreliable and poorly maintained, while also being massively overworked. They may also be quite old, and with technological improvements being made all the time, this may mean you’re unable to access the best quality of sound possible.
Hiring a speaker system will give you access to the latest technology, along with better maintenance/insights. These systems will offer you the best sound quality possible for your special day, whether for speeches, entertainment or music.
The right speakers
When choosing the right speakers for your venue, you need to consider a couple of things:
· Size of the venue
· Number of guests
· Type of entertainment
Let’s look at each of these in a little more detail.
Venue size
The venue itself matters when it comes to the speaker system you opt for. If the speaker system is too small, the sound will not travel properly, with specific areas of the venue experiencing poor sound quality, detracting from the joy of the dancefloor. If the speaker system is too large, this may also present a problem with too much size in a small place distorting the audio output (and scaring grandma).
Guests
The human body absorbs sound, so it is also important to factor in the number of people attending your wedding when it comes to your speaker system. The higher the number of guests, the larger the system you will need to compensate for this.
Entertainment styles
Live music will need a different type of speaker system than a DJ and pre-recorded music, so this should also be factored in when you are working out the right system.
With all this to consider, choosing a speaker system can be a complex business. This is why it’s always wise to hire a company that specialises in this field. They will be able to consider all of the factors involved and recommend the best speaker systems for your unique needs.
Other factors to consider
Of course, your speaker system will include more than the speakers themselves. It may include an amplifier and a source for the audio as well. If you have a DJ or are planning some speeches, it should include at least one microphone. All of this equipment needs to be compatible to produce the best results possible.
Give yourself plenty of time to find the right speakers for your wedding. You want to be confident that you have the best sound possible on the day. Your wedding day should be a special time with nothing to worry about, so don’t leave the quality of sound down to chance. Consider discussing your needs with a company that specialises in sound systems – they will be able to recommend the best options possible.
