5 Wedding Sound Mistakes to Avoid (And How to Fix Them Before It’s Too Late)
Share
Your wedding day should be unforgettable — for the right reasons.
But all it takes is a dead microphone, screeching feedback, or muffled vows to leave your guests whispering, "What just happened?"
As a sound team that’s handled everything from void deck weddings to ballroom ceremonies, here are the 5 most common mistakes couples make with sound — and how to avoid them.
❌ 1. Relying on the Venue’s Sound System
Why it’s a problem:
Venue systems are often outdated, underpowered, or managed by staff with little technical experience.
Fix it:
Always ask:
- Is the system tested for speeches and live music?
- Can I plug in my own mic or instruments?
- Is there a dedicated sound person?
If you’re unsure, bring in your own system. We do this often — and we know exactly what most halls and venues lack.
❌ 2. Using Bluetooth Speakers for a 100+ Pax Wedding
Why it’s a problem:
Bluetooth cuts out. Volume drops. Sound doesn’t reach the back of the room.
Fix it:
For weddings with more than 30 guests, use powered speakers with a proper mixer and wired or wireless mics.
Our Ever After Sound Package includes 2 high-quality 12” active speakers that carry beautifully across mid-size venues — no dropouts, no distortion.
❌ 3. No One Assigned to Manage Sound
Why it’s a problem:
The emcee can’t troubleshoot. The bride shouldn’t run sound checks. And your cousin who’s “good with gadgets” might panic when feedback hits.
Fix it:
Always have a dedicated sound tech or an easy-to-use setup that’s tested beforehand.
Our system is plug-and-play, and we’ll guide whoever’s running it so nothing goes wrong when your vows begin.
❌ 4. Not Testing Microphones Before the Ceremony
Why it’s a problem:
You’d be shocked how often we see dead mics 2 minutes before a walk-in.
Fix it:
With our rental package, we do a full check before handoff — and we always include fresh batteries, backup cables, and extra mic options.
❌ 5. No Backup Plan
Why it’s a problem:
A sudden rainstorm. A power trip. A missing audio cable.
Fix it:
We include fail-safes: surge protection, extra connectors, and multiple output sources — because weddings aren’t the time for trial and error.
