Is a microphone system for the ceremony/vows necessary?

[*JillD*]

Jackie, the price at dreams cancun seemed ridiculous to me as well, about the same 200 to rent the sound system and get the mic. We decided against it, it seemed like a waste of money for such a quick ceremony. I'm so glad that we didn't because I could hardly even understand the officiant, so I know it wouldn't have mattered to everyone else if it was loud or not, he was still tough to understand.

thats exactly what I thought. We are so at the end of our budget that unless it is an extra that I truly cant live without and is very reasonably priced then its just not going to happen.

We are getting married at the Gazebo at Dreams and will have 60 or so people. I wanted a mic just in case it is windy or the waves make it hard to hear. Also so that the video person can get the ceremony without being right in the way. Our DJ is coming early and setting up a speaker for us and is only charging an extra $90 which I thought was reasonable. So if you have a DJ maybe ask him to assist! If you are renting ipod speakers it should come with a mic set up, maybe you can ask that Dreams set it up for the ceremony and move it to the reception...just a thought.
