Sound system for backyard wedding

I'm looking for a sound system for my backyard wedding. It's a medium sized backyard and I will only have a little less than 20 people attending. Also, the ceremony and reception will both be in the backyard. Tables for sitting and dance floor. We'll be walking up through the long tables and getting married. I'm trying to figure out what to do for sound. I've looked at DIYS and rentals. I wouldn't mind renting, but I can't seem to find anyone in near Harvest, AL with a small enough setup to accommodate a backyard. Any ideas?

    Do you or your family attend a church that would let you borrow some of their sound equipment?

    Aw man! Do you have any musically inclined friends? We’re a family of musicians who know other musicians who have small sound systems we can use for our ceremony (DJ only has one and we want two for the reception).

    I have a friend, whom I've asked. He's looking around his church and other places to see what he can find. Worse case scenario, I think I might have to rent? But, again. Everywhere around here services BIG events.

    Hello Megan!!

    Were you able to find a sound system set-up for your wedding?? Maybe a high school/college would let you borrow/rent their equipment?? The school I went to would sometimes rent out their equipment but I'm not sure if that's something that's common!!

    Your wedding is coming up so fast!!! Are you excited?! How's everything coming together?!

    Hi Rebecca!

    Thank you for commenting! I was able to find a gentleman who offer a small sound system (8 channel powered mixer with 1 or 2 speakers on tripod that stand about 7 feet tall) with wired microphones for $150 for the day. The price includes delivery, setup and an operator. I honestly didn't want to rent for that amount because I'm trying to save as much as possible for the honeymoon, but I really didn't have any other choice.

    Also, I'm not really sure if that's a great price compared to what others get (so I'm sorry if others had to pay more and they are looking at my price going "oh man, I WISH I only had to pay that much).

    But, yes! I am super excited. At this point though, I want the wedding day to be over with so I can just go enjoy the honeymoon. It's like a pregnant woman. She enjoys carrying the child, but once it's close to or at 9 months, they just want the baby out haha. That's how I feel right now.

    Everything is coming together nicely! I finally purchased the rest of the decor on Monday for the wedding. The only things left are the food and saving for the honeymoon Smiley smile
