Who doesn’t love an outdoor wedding? There was the one that took place on the banks of the Potomac River, not far from where George Washington once lived. The look of the wedding was magical.
And then there was the one in a red wood forest not far from San Jose. The magnificence of the setting was almost cathedral-like! Yes, who doesn’t love an outdoor wedding?
Perhaps the guests! The beautiful wedding on the Potomac was 95 degrees. There was no shade. The humidity was high enough to wilt a blushing bride’s coiffure faster than you can say “I do!” Did I mention the bugs?

Perhaps the bridesmaids! A lovely bridesmaid in her very high heals just couldn’t navigate the uneven terrain at the redwood forest wedding and took a nasty spill. But, boy those trees were beautiful!
Okay, perhaps I’m being overly hard on outdoor weddings. But I’m a DJ and I’ve seen all of the pros and cons of outdoor weddings on full display over the years.
Outdoor weddings can be spectacular
I do admit that some settings are breathtaking, and when everything goes perfectly, they are truly memorable affairs.
There’s a common weak link, though, when it comes to outdoor weddings: the sound. Guests can’t hear your spoken vows very well. If you have a nice string quartet, for example, the beauty of their music can be overwhelmed by the sounds of nature, whether it’s wind, waves, or whatever.

We’ll capture your ceremony music on sensitive mics that block out Mother Nature’s background sounds so you only hear the purity of the music.
