Wedding sound in Barcelona and across Catalonia

A typical wedding needs sound at four moments: ceremony, drinks reception, dinner and dancing, often in different spaces at the same venue.

The key is that moving between spaces goes unnoticed. While guests are at drinks, our technician is already moving and testing the dinner set-up. That is why at weddings we always work with a technician all day and a running order agreed with you or your wedding planner.

The thing we are most often asked to change at the last minute is the order of speeches. No problem: with spare handheld mics and the running order on the desk, the technician adapts without stopping the music.

With two discreet speakers at the sides, a headset mic for the officiant and a handheld for readings, all tuned so the back row hears clearly with no feedback.

Outdoors, wind and distance are the enemies. We use mics with wind protection and place the speakers slightly in front of whoever is speaking so the mic doesn’t pick up the speaker itself. With more than 120 guests we add a second pair halfway down the aisle, with a slight delay so the voice arrives in sync.

Every outdoor ceremony comes with an agreed Plan B: covers, a designated covered area and a compact back-up system. We learnt this in 2019 at a wedding at a masia in the Penedès, when a storm forced the ceremony into the barn in 35 minutes. Since then Plan B travels in every van.

What a couple remembers isn’t the sound, it’s having heard every word of their vows. That’s the job.
