Our venue had an aux cord hooked up to their speakers, so I just had a friend play music off of my phone for the ceremony.

We had a violinist for the pre-ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour. She was $470 and so, so worth it. It was something I decided was super important to me from the beginning, and even though we didn't do any videography (so it wasn't captured in any way), I was so glad we spent the money. It just set our tone so perfectly and I still well up thinking about how she played my music of choice as I walked down the aisle.
Microphones were rented separately from the venue and somehow my FIL got them to give them to us for free?? Ha! I think you can probably buy (and then resell) a decently cheap mic and speaker set online from somewhere like Amazon or B&H if a microphone is your only concern.
