What Does Mic'd Up Mean?

Being mic'd up for your wedding means that you've given your wedding videographer permission to attach a small portable microphone to you. Often called a lapel or lavalier mic, the device captures clear, high-quality audio of you speaking for your wedding video.

Do I need a microphone for my wedding ceremony?

This question (among others) might be one of the first questions you ask your videographer before you book. You may be asking because you don't want unsightly microphones in your wedding photos or aren't sure if one is necessary for a small intimate wedding. No matter the reason, any videographer or wedding planner will tell you that you definitely need a professional microphone. Microphones are especially important if you're having an outdoor wedding because wind and background noise can cause your voice to travel in different directions away from your guests. Even indoor weddings can have audio issues without a mic, since venues with high ceilings can cause sound to echo and distort. Overall, it's essential to have a microphone for your ceremony and reception since it helps your guests hear your vows, the officiant, wedding speeches and much more.

What are my wedding microphone choices?

You have three microphone choices: wired, wireless or lavalier. Some professionals think that wired microphones have the lowest technical risk, since the device connects directly to the sound equipment resulting in minimal interference. Unfortunately, the wire is visible and limits how much you can walk around. Wireless microphones allow you more freedom to move around, but depending on the microphone, the transmission signal has limited range. Finally, lavalier microphones are a hands-free option that is secured discreetly to a person's clothing, but the microphone receiver has to be attached to the person's body or clothing at all times.

Should I be mic'd up for my wedding?

Getting mic'd up for your wedding can seem intimidating, but it comes with a lot of benefits. The biggest perk: You'll have clear audio for your wedding video, which means you'll be able to fully relive those public and intimate moments between you and your partner. With crisp audio, you and your partner can truly experience an encapsulation of the emotions from your wedding day. Throughout your big day, there will be plenty of beautiful (planned and candid) moments to capture, like first looks, wedding ceremony readings, wedding speeches and much more. Remember: It's perfectly acceptable for you and your partner to have some time without your wedding mics, so make sure to discuss with your videographer which times you don't want to be recorded.
