Why worry about wedding audio? Music surrounds us! It is the background to our lives, sometimes it is overt, and others very subtle. Music helps create an atmosphere or mood for any environment. Think about this for a moment, when you go to a restaurant, shop, visit a theme park, or even drive down the road, music is carefully chosen to set a tone. The same is especially true for weddings! The traditional Bridal March is probably just as recognizable as “Happy Birthday” or “It’s A Small World”. Can you tell I’m a Disney fan? While some couples love the idea of a classical feel for their ceremony, others may want to set the tone with a more modern feel! Either way, a ceremony without music in those key moments can feel “empty”. With more couples choosing to do destination weddings and select venues in natural settings, many couples assume they can’t have music for their ceremony, or that they have to rely upon cheaply constructed Bluetooth speakers, and let’s be honest – these devices don’t measure up to the importance of the occasion.
You Have Options!
Why do I offer this service? I have officiated more than a handful of weddings where either a third party’s cheap equipment or lack of knowledge, became a major distraction to the ceremony! I’ve seen the music abruptly stop, tracks start over mid-song, and microphones feedback or cut in and out. None of these scenarios are good! Unfortunately, I have had to purposely shut off my microphone mid-ceremony, due to the distractions becoming far worse than not having it. I hate having to take actions like this because the couple is paying for a service that was far from acceptable, but I knew things would flow smoother if I simply spoke louder.
What I’m doing about it…
I love getting to help share my knowledge and experience with others. Since I was a child I have been fascinated by live stage production. This grew to the point where I was running audio for performances before I was a teenager, which grew into a career in live production, both in Churches and in secular entertainment. As an officiant, I’m determined not to have those same bad experiences again. That is when I decided to provide ceremony audio to couples as an add-on, for their wedding. My goals were simple, to offer professional-grade audio in any environment, at an affordable price. That led me to combine my existing knowledge, with the expertise of those who had been doing this longer, and some magic… Yes, magic. I have learned not only from audio & wedding professionals but from the Magic community to have total control over the experience, without the guests having a clue “how the trick was done”. The way I measure success is when no one “notices” what is happening.
Officiant Services & Ceremony Audio Package
For couples considering my services as their wedding officiant, I am now equipped to provide ceremony audio for your big day, regardless of the location. Electricity is nice, but it’s not always available! Many couples that come to the Smoky Mountains choose to get married at their cabin or perhaps outdoors, in the national park, or other remote location. Because of their choice of venue, a full DJ service may not be practical, or necessary. However, they still want music for their ceremony and possibly even a first dance. You no longer have to rely on a family member with a phone and a Bluetooth speaker! My services include hardwired connections for music playback, with professional-grade wireless microphones, all to a quality speaker system, discreetly controlled by proven Military Grade technology. All of that thought, because I believe you should have the best wedding experience possible!
