PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Wedding AV Planning — FAQ

Useful answers to common wedding AV planning questions before you finalise the technical brief.

How many microphones are usually needed?

It depends on ceremony format, speeches, performers and whether handheld/lapel/podium microphones are preferred.

Do we need an LED screen?

Not always. It is useful when the programme genuinely includes video, live feeds or stage visuals.

Can lighting and AV be coordinated?

Yes. Stage, audio, visuals and lighting should be planned together where the wedding is production-led.

Can special effects be included?

Selected effects can be considered subject to venue rules and suitability.

What affects cost?

Venue, guest layout, sound scale, LED, lighting, stage, event duration, crew and setup schedule.

What should I send?

Venue, guest count, programme, stage/room plan, technical requirements and any inspiration/reference material.
