Wedding AV Equipment Checklist — Orlando
Brought to you by Event Rentals NYC, a KLAV Group company. With 1,000+ events produced for venues like Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, and Marriott Hotel, we've built this practical checklist to help you plan a flawless Orlando wedding. Whether you're hosting 80 guests at a garden estate or 300 at a ballroom reception, these are the exact rentals you need.
Sound
Sound is the backbone of ceremony and reception. If guests can't hear vows or toasts, nothing else matters.
- PA Speakers (2–4 full-range + 1–2 subwoofers): Needed for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Budget $300–$900 for the system.
- Wireless Microphones (3–4 handhelds + 2 lavaliers): For officiant, vows, toasts, and emcee. $75–$150 per mic.
- Stage Monitors (2): Essential if you have a live band or live singers. $100–$250 total.
- Digital Mixer (12–24 channel): Required when mixing DJ, band, and mics simultaneously. $200–$500.
Lighting
Lighting transforms a venue from plain to cinematic. Orlando venues often need supplemental lighting after sunset.
- Uplighting (12–24 wireless LED pars): Line perimeter walls to match your color palette. $25–$40 per unit.
- Dance Floor Lighting (2–4 moving heads + 1 haze machine): Turn reception into a club after dinner. $400–$800 package.
- Stage Wash (4–6 fixtures): Needed for head table, band, or DJ booth visibility. $200–$500.
- Ambient String/Bistro Lights (100–300 ft): Key for outdoor Orlando ceremonies and patios. $200–$600.
- Gobo Monogram Projector (1): Project names/date on dance floor or wall. $150–$300.
Video
Video rentals cover slideshows, live streaming, and signage for out-of-town guests who can't travel to Orlando.
- Projector (1–2, 5,000+ lumens): For slideshows and live ceremony feeds. $300–$700 per unit.
- Projection Screens (1–2, 9x12 ft): Mount behind head table or at ceremony site. $200–$450 each.
- TV Displays (2–4, 55"–75"): Great for welcome signage, seating charts, or photo loops. $150–$350 per display.
- Live Streaming Kit (camera + encoder): Essential for remote guests. $500–$1,200.
DJ & Music
Whether you're hiring a DJ or booking a live band, the booth setup matters for energy and sightlines.
- DJ Controller (Pioneer DDJ-1000 or FLX10): Industry standard. $150–$300.
- Turntables (2 x Technics 1200 MK7): For vinyl DJs and scratch sets. $200–$400 pair.
- DJ Booth Facade with LED Front: Brands the booth and hides cables. $150–$300.
