Hi guys looking for help. Me and the OH get married in April and are coming towards the final stages of planning. Just wondering if any of you know of a budget pa system for the speeches or a way for a room full of people to hear speeches as clear as possible without braking the bank.

Many thanks

Are you having a DJ or live band on night? Sometimes they will allow you to use their PA for speeches as it is already set up if you ask! Even if they charge a fee for it, it's still cheaper then hiring a PA system and having someone set it up for speeches. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Check with your venue first as most have a PA system built in for meetings or conferences.

If you're having speeches after your band or dj have setup then that's an option but most times they setup after the wedding breakfast.

I used to organise training days when I had a proper job! Before being a wedding photographer. I booked mic & speakers from Savile AV hire.

What's the budget?

In my experience in pro audio you should be able to pick up everything you need for around £60-80 +VAT for two speakers but will usually include set up yourself. You'll want active speakers (rather than passive which require a separate amp) because it's more of a plug and play solution and less chance of it going wrong. I wouldn't suggest radio mics unless you have a sound engineer on site, too many variables to go wrong. Some companies will charge extra for cable. If you have a large room and/or a lot of people I would suggest four speakers.
