Hi!
My wedding ceremony's going to be outside in a park in Ames. Do you guys have any suggestions for music? I don't know if I should hire someone to play or just have a CD? Let me know if you have any ideas!

Thanks!

    I've been to a couple of outside weddings. 

    1 in particular had just a CD.  We couldn't hear a THING. 

    I would definitely recommend hiring someone with great speakers, so everyone will be able to hear. 

    You never know how windy it will be, so it might be good to play it on the safe side and hire someone!

    I agree with PP, we are using our DJ for the Reception for the Ceremony Music, he comes with speakers also a Microphone for the officiant and ourselves.
    A CD could work if you make sure that every guest can hear, and it doesn't make the guests in the front uncomfortable.

    What about a harpist?  I used to play for wedding in Des Moines, and could give you names.  Usually, the harp doesn't need to be amplified, and is cheaper than hiring a quartet becuase it's only one musician.
