wedding location music details
They have a radio microphone there for the reader and /or officiant to use. I find it's usually better left in the podium for the reader to avoid static when it's moved back and forth, the officiant can use their second hand held microphone. I could provide a mic stand for them if you reserve one from me. We usually provide the music from the balcony area, we can see everything for timing up there. I always bring my own sound equipment so I can set it correctly for my voice and balance the sound for the sanctuary.

Information on Diane Martinson Music Live music packages - wedding day embellishment at the best value:
Yes, you can afford to include more live music! - Live Music Wedding Budget Tips:
Live music indicates to guests that a truly special occasion is taking place. If you are not sure that you can include this special treat at your wedding, or are searching for the best way to extend live music from ceremony to reception by stretching your dollars further, consider these options that will give you more music for you money:
Ceremony / Cocktail hour packages - get the most from your musicians
My musicians offer lower rates than the regular hourly ceremony rate if you add-on music for after the ceremony. Make good use of lower add-on rates by having them stay on to play during the cocktail hour, keeping that jubilant feeling flowing from the ceremony, through the receiving line and on into the reception.
Budget Tip: You can hire vocalist Diane Martinson with pianist for all the ceremony music needed, AND then 1 hour of jazzy cocktail duo music for less cost than having a string quartet for a ceremony.
A portable piano keyboard and sound system PA is available.
Diane and pianist provide all ceremony music needed -prelude to postlude, and transition on to background cocktail music as a jazz duo or solo pianist.
Dinner music - include live music before the DJ!
Even if you are not having a band for your dance, consider including 1 hour or 2 of live music to add excitement to your reception dinner before the DJ starts the dance. Guests are always very appreciative of our musical contribution to the festivities. The jazz duo or trio live music really adds something special to your celebration without the expense of having to hire a band for the entire evening. My musicians are low volume, and very flexible to adapt to your schedule.
Background Dinner Music pianist or trio from the Reception Dance Band
If you booked a band for the reception dance you can also enjoy more live music earlier in the evening at a reduced rate by having Diane arrange for live dinner music from the pianist or a few members in the band. This addition is at a lower add- on rate and therefore is more cost efficient for you than hiring in a separate solo pianist or jazz trio group to come in, and it heightens the feeling of celebration in the room.
THE ULTIMATE - Ceremony / Cocktail hour / Dinner / Dance - A Complete Live Music package at the best value!
Diane Martinson Music, Inc. has provided more than two hundred complete music packages in the Twin Cities with live music perfectly underscoring the romance and excitement of the bride and grooms special day.
