If you want people to dance, then you need to rent a sound system that is designed for that. At NarrowGaugeSound.com, we recommend that you rent a professional system with at least one sub-woofer. You should be able to rent something like that with a mixer, microphone and all the cables, delivered and set up for for $200-$300 Just google “Sound System Rentals for weddings in ______________ and fill in your city.

If you want people to dance you need:

A. A good sound system
B. Dance songs that people know and love
C. Alcohol, to loosen people up. No alcohol and it is VERY hard to get people out on the dance floor.

PS awesome blog! I feel like we are soul sisters in wedding planning. 🙂

Thanks Dannette, you know I’m so sorry I can’t be of much help there. I have a very musically (and tech) inclined Uncle who brought his speakers and sound board to hook up. Often reception halls have their own speakers tho, maybe they could direct you on how to hook into them? Best of luck 🙂

Very cost effective
