No amplified music or vows for an outdoor wedding

Jade, on November 29, 2021 at 3:11 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 2

So this venue I found has had some of the most beautiful weddings I've seen online, and I would love to have the same lake backdrop for my ceremony. In the past they've allowed ceremonies on the beach of the lake, and I've seen videos and photos with microphones and speakers. However, they informed me that they are now only offering their tree grove as the ceremony site (which allows everything), and they are waiting for their forest permit to offer the lake site. But they said that in the past, the permit prohibited amplified music and vows (which is confusing because it was clearly ok before). They should get word of an approved permit next year, which is ok for me to wait. But I'm wondering how awkward it is not to have music when you walk down, nor having the vows amplified for your guests to hear. Especially if it's windy! I know live music would probably be ok, but no amplified vows either??? I'm not sure. Their tree grove sight is ok, but the idea of having the ceremony by the lake was the whole reason for this venue, so I'm torn.


Thoughts?

    At my first wedding, we chose not to use the microphone for our vows, as we wanted those words to just be private and natural. But the rest of the ceremony you would definitely want heard! So hopefully your officiant can speak loudly lol. I would imagine if they want to stay in the wedding business, they will get all this worked out, but it is a risk to book and hope that's the case! Sorry I can't be more help!

    We didn’t have music or amplified anything. Put officant talked very loudly so everyone could hear her and then we did our vows loud as well. No one seemed to mind it we were outside and it was beautiful so every was happy with it.
