Outside wedding

[Heather6913]

is a cd player tacky for an outside wedding? i don't really know what else to do- a band or any live music really isnt an option because my budget is already way out of control.

I would probably still try to get a DJ or something....and then cut expenses elsewhere, simply since you don't want to do a ton of work or make any of your guests, which they will need to with the CD player.

Just curious, where are you getting married at? I also live in fort wayne.

Many rental companies have speaker and cordless mic systems you can rent.

My weddings also outdoors and we're borrowing a sound system from a friend who has a band. We're having him queue the music (just a processional and recessional) at the ceremony, then we're burning a CD for the reception. He's also going to do a little MCing to announce the wedding party, toasts, tosses, etc.

Yep, I agree... renting a soun system would be better than a boombox. That way everyone can at least hear your wedding music CD. I've been to outdoor weddings where they used a boombox and the little thing just wasn't loud enough. LOL!
