One hundred and twenty guests under a tent at the Equinox Resort. Every vow heard at every seat.

The couple had chosen an outdoor ceremony at the Equinox Resort for reasons that mattered to them — the view, the light, the vows they’d written. The tent was always the plan. Our job was to make sure every one of a hundred and twenty guests heard every word of it.

We designed the audio system for the 1811 Lawn with contingency built in from the start: weather-resistant enclosures on all speaker positions, sealed cable runs, a backup wireless chain. The tent handled the afternoon. The officiant went on mic. The couple stood at the altar. Every one of the hundred and twenty guests heard every word.

The bride’s music teacher — a family friend who had been teaching her since she was nine — performed during the ceremony. Guitar and voice, live. We ran a discrete DI and vocal mic, mixed live. The performance was the moment every guest remembered. The speakers were behind the floral arrangements; nobody saw them.

The reception followed in the same space under the tent. Music transitioned from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception without a gap. The first dance came in the evening and the dance floor was full through the night. The ceremony and what followed it were the story. The production just made sure it could be.

Event planner: Candice Grace Events, Manchester, VT. Every logistical decision that afternoon — timeline holds, venue transitions, vendor communication — came from their team. Our job was to show up technically prepared and stay invisible. We did both.
