Isn't it hilarious how our stress and worries sometimes manifest in our dreams.
I have a couple who decided they are going to have their venue handle the audio for their ceremony since it is offered as part of their rental.
Last night, I dreamt that the venue completely messed up the ceremony. They are a multi room venue and had a TV show coming over the sound system in the ceremony room rather than the music for the processional. (Funny enough, the TV show that was playing is what my wife left on the TV when she fell asleep so my mind blended reality into my dream. I'll tell you, the ancient aliens guys voice is not the voice you want to hear for your wedding haha)
For some reason in my dream, they also had the bride and officiant wearing these big trucker style headset mics and couldn't get them to work right. After running around to the guys running the sound system and trying to get them to figure out what they were doing (which they didn't) I of course immediately jumped into action at the back of the room, grabbed my ceremony setup and had it up in less than 5 minutes (thankfully I've built my ceremony setup to be able to be setup anywhere in a very short amount of time) and then, during their unity ceremony, i snuck up and swapped out the officiants mic and told the bride to take hers off (my officiant mic works to pick up the bride and groom as well so no need for lapel mics).
Thankfully, the rest of the ceremony went amazingly.
Now, I'm not saying this would actually happen but keep in mind as you are planning, your venue's sound system may not be designed for a ceremony, it may be used for multiple purposes and the people running it may not be fully trained or even really care about making sure your ceremony is perfect.
