Wedding Ceremony Microphones Handheld vs Lapel
Channel: Dj Cutt Entertainment

Local Portland DJ Sterling of DJ Cutt Entertainment outlines some important audio considerations to make for your affordable wedding ceremony. Depending on the situation, you might want to use a lapel microphone, a handheld microphone, or a combination of both. 

A lapel microphone, also called clip-on mics or lavaliers, are small microphones that are perfect for recording dialogue as they are discreet and can be positioned close to the speaker’s face while remaining undetectable and unnoticeable. For the ceremony setup, lapel mics are preferable because it allows the officiant and couple to have their hands free, whereas using a handheld mic would require passing it from person to person. It also looks a lot nicer for video and photos. However, as Dj Sterling explains, lapel mics are not wind resistant, and in the case of high winds, it’s useful to have a wireless mic and mic-stand as backup. 
Handheld mics work great when it comes to micing live musicians. Depending on the situation, you may need to mic both an instrument and vocals with two separate microphones. Always plan this in advance so that you are prepared with the correct mics.
