Rent, Borrow, or Buy - Sound and Lighting Equipment

Joey, on March 11, 2019 at 07:05 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 29

Speakers, microphones, spotlights, and uplighting can all create amazing ambiance for your ceremony and reception. Will you rent these from pros, borrow them from tech-savvy friends, or buy your own?

Will you rent, borrow, or buy your sound and lighting equipment?

    Most of this is included at the venue...room has built in and newly upgraded/replaced sound system, they provide microphones, and lighting is really good and adaptable in the room already! The only additional tech equipment we are renting - a projector and screen for video gaming also through the venue.

    Rent from professionals to have them do the work from the company avoiding any damage or electrical issues on our end. In addition, they have the vehicle to fit all their equipment.

    We get sound equipment from our venue. We don't do lighting, as it's a day ceremony and reception we don't really need it

    We'll likely rent. The only thing we're committed to buying is a wireless speaker for the ceremony music.

    I guess rent? It comes with the DJ for the sound system, and we haven't decided if we will be having lights stringed across the ceiling or not but if we do then it depends on how pretty they are and if I want to keep them for our backyard Smiley tongue

    Our venue provides most of that, and the band we hired have rented some extra lighting/speakers and such that they will need

    Our DJ provides everything sound-related. I don't think we'll need lighting rentals but they can take care of that too if we change our minds.
