Easy gig, brought much more equipment than we needed (cables, extra mics). We brought a wireless mic with the intention of the minister, bride and groom using it, but we ended up not needing it (wedding party was about 20 people in a small outdoor space). The only thing I ended up having to adjust the sound for was Joe's piano, depending on what song he was playing.

Above: the view of the wedding area from behind our workstation. Joe sat at the piano while I sat at the table to his right.
