I would have guessed so.

I just was wondering from your perspective, you know, when we had our venues, the three venues, we did a number.

We were about 65% of our events were both ceremony and reception.

And so that number grew so much.

And obviously a lot of the outside officiants would come in, which you were there quite often.

And so I thought they might've increased because of that, your business.

And are you seeing it plateau at all?

Are you seeing it staying the same?

A Catholic ceremony can go 45 minutes to an hour and a half, typically, depending on what they're doing, communion, things like that.

How long are your ceremonies typically based on what you're doing with couples?

When you're providing ceremony services, are you bringing any equipment out there like microphones or are you relying on either the venue or the DJ that they hire to provide those for you?

I just know how important it is to have a good sounding PA system for the ceremony, especially if you have 100 people or more with hopefully a lapel microphone for the officiator.

So what are you providing and what are you relying on?

And I do think that's an important tip to share at this point in the conversation with brides and grooms out there that are listening.

Because a lot of them do forget about the PA system for the ceremony.

They book their venue location or their ceremony location and they're excited, but they don't think about that PA portion of it.

And sometimes until it's the last minute.

Right.

And I do think that's important.

And it's a very important thing to ask either your venue or your DJ that you hire, making sure that they have good equipment, you know, a good wireless mic that isn't going to cut in and out on you throughout the ceremony.
