Can Channel AV handle both ceremony and reception at the same venue?
Yes. Channel AV regularly provides audio for both parts of the same wedding. We set up ceremony sound first, then transition and configure the reception system before guests move to the main room. The full flow is scoped in advance so there is no gap or downtime between the two.
Does Channel AV do outdoor wedding ceremony audio in Nashville?
Yes. Channel AV handles outdoor wedding ceremony audio across Middle Tennessee, including farm venues, open-air gardens and tent events. Battery-powered speakers are available for ceremony spaces without power access. We have worked at The Barn at Sycamore Farms, Diamond Creek Farms, Drakewood Farm and outdoor venues throughout the region.
Ceremony Audio
The ceremony is the part that cannot be redone. Vows need to carry across the space. The officiant needs a reliable mic. We build the ceremony rig around the specific venue layout and guest count so nothing is left to guesswork.
Wireless Microphones for Vows
Handheld and lavalier wireless mics for the officiant, vow readings and special speakers. Clean wireless systems with no cables running across the aisle.
- Wireless lavalier mic for the officiant
- Wireless handheld for vows and readings
- Backup mic included with every rental

Ceremony PA System
Powered speakers sized for the ceremony space. Whether there are 30 guests in a garden or 300 in a venue hall, we bring the right speaker system so every seat can hear clearly.

Reception Sound
The reception has more moving parts than the ceremony. Toasts, first dances, open dancing and background dinner music all need different levels and setups. We configure the system for the full flow of the evening, not just one moment of it.
- Full PA system sized for the reception room
- Wireless handheld mics for toasts and speeches
- Soundboard for DJ, band or playlist inputs
- Subwoofer available for dance floor setups
- Multi-zone audio for large or split-layout spaces
Projection and TV Screens for Wedding Receptions
Most Channel AV wedding packages are audio-only, but we also rent projection screens and TV displays for receptions that include a photo slideshow, seating chart or welcome screen at the venue entrance. Both are available on their own or added to any audio package.
Projector and Screen Rental
For venues with high ceilings and controlled ambient light, a 135 or 150-inch projection screen makes a large-format display the entire room can see. Popular for photo slideshows, memorial tribute videos and reception welcome screens at larger Nashville ballrooms and barn venues.
View projector screen optionsTV Screen Rental
For well-lit reception rooms and cocktail hours where projection washes out in ambient light, a 65 or 85-inch TV screen holds up clearly regardless of the lighting conditions. Mounts on a floor stand and connects directly to a laptop, tablet or phone.
View TV screen optionsNashville has no shortage of outdoor wedding venues, from farms and vineyards to open gardens and tent events across Middle Tennessee. Outdoor setups have different demands. Wind, distance and no walls all change what the system needs to do.
We have worked outdoor weddings at farm properties across Middle Tennessee, including The Barn at Sycamore Farms, Diamond Creek Farms, Drakewood Farm, The Venue at Birchwood and Trinity View Farm. Every outdoor rental is configured for the specific space.
- Battery-powered speakers for ceremony spaces without power
- Extended cable runs for large or spread-out properties

Wedding AV Questions
What AV equipment does a Nashville wedding typically need?
Most Nashville weddings need a PA system sized for the space, a wireless lavalier mic for the officiant and a wireless handheld for vows and readings. Receptions add a soundboard, wireless mics for toasts and often a subwoofer if there will be dancing. If your ceremony and reception are in separate spaces, each needs its own independent system. We recommend the right configuration once we know your venue layout and guest count.
What microphones do you recommend for a wedding ceremony?
For most ceremonies, we recommend a wireless lavalier mic for the officiant and a wireless handheld for vows and readings. Both allow for natural movement without cables crossing the aisle. We carry professional Shure and Sennheiser systems and always include a backup mic.
Can you handle both ceremony and reception at the same venue?
Yes. We regularly run audio for both parts of the same wedding. We set up ceremony sound first, then transition and configure reception sound in the main room. The full transition is scoped out in advance so there are no gaps or downtime.
Do you set up before guests arrive?
Yes. We always arrive well ahead of the event to set up, cable and run a full sound check before any guests are seated. The goal is that everything is working and tested before the first person walks through the door.
What if the ceremony is outdoors but the reception is indoors?
This is one of the most common setups we work with. We bring systems for both spaces and configure each one for its environment. Both are ready before the event begins.
Can we have a technician on-site to run audio during the wedding?
Yes. On-site technicians are available to manage audio throughout the wedding, including mic handoffs, volume levels during toasts, music transitions and any real-time adjustments needed during the ceremony or reception.
How far in advance should we book wedding AV?
As early as possible, especially for Saturday bookings during Nashville's peak wedding season. We do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when availability allows. Reach out as soon as you have a confirmed date.
What areas do you serve for wedding AV?
We serve Nashville and all of Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Clarksville and Smyrna. We also travel for destination weddings and out-of-market events.
How much does wedding AV rental cost in Nashville?
Pricing depends on whether you need ceremony sound, reception sound or both, the venue type and size and whether delivery, setup and an on-site technician are included. Contact us for a same-day quote based on your specific wedding.
