No, not necessarily. As long as you, your celebrant and the two legal witnesses can hear the ceremony, especially your legal vows, then the requirements have been met under the Marriage Act 1961. If you’re nervous about speaking into a microphone, but still want all of your guests to hear you, there are lots of things I can do to reduce your anxiety on the day.

For sure! I have a range of top quality sound gear I use to make sure your ceremony can be heard by everyone who needs to hear it. Brands include MiPro, RODE, Bose, Shure, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica and Micker, with wired and battery-operated wireless options.
