YOUR WEDDING.
YOUR SOUND.

Yes. All speaker packages include a Bluetooth or AUX input. You connect your phone or tablet and play directly from Spotify, Apple Music, or any playlist app. Download your playlist offline before the event in case the venue has spotty cell service.

For outdoor ceremonies up to 150 guests, two 12 inch speakers are typically enough if positioned well. For 150 to 300 guests or long, wide outdoor venues, Mark recommends 4 speakers or upgrading to a column array. When in doubt, contact SwissMixx for help sizing it right based on your venue layout.

Yes, for any outdoor ceremony over 50 guests. Without amplification, guests in the back miss vows and readings. A wireless handheld mic or lavalier for the officiant makes a huge difference in the experience. It also means your videographer picks up clear audio for the ceremony film.

Yes. SwissMixx Audio delivers throughout the Treasure Valley including Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Star, and surrounding areas. Barn venues, backyard weddings, vineyard events, and outdoor mountain venues are all covered. $250 delivery and $250 pickup within Treasure Valley. Delivery and pickup scheduling is confirmed at booking.

All gear is tested before it goes out, and I walk you through running it at pickup. You can also add an on-site professional audio technician to your rental for full coverage. If there is an equipment issue, call Mark directly at (208) 995-0502 for help resolving it over the phone.

Summer weekends book fast. Plan ahead and contact SwissMixx at least 4 to 6 weeks before your event. For peak wedding season dates (June through September), 8 to 12 weeks in advance is ideal to ensure equipment availability. Last-minute rentals may be possible depending on inventory, so always ask.

Yes. SwissMixx Audio is based in Nampa, Idaho and serves the entire Treasure Valley including Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Middleton, and all surrounding communities. The first 50 miles from Nampa are included in your delivery rate.

For a backyard of 20 to 30 people, often yes. Past that, no, and it's not really about volume. A consumer Bluetooth speaker throws sound in one direction and gets muddy at distance, so guests in the back rows lose the words even if it's technically loud enough up front. Outdoors, wind and traffic noise make it worse. Rented PA speakers are built to project clearly across a wider area, which is the difference between guests hearing "I do" and guests just hearing a speaker.

Watts aren't really the number to plan around, guest count and indoor-versus-outdoor are. As a starting point: under 100 guests indoors, one powered 12 inch speaker is usually plenty. Outdoors, or over 100 guests, plan on two. Past 150 to 300 guests outdoors, four speakers or a column array. Every DIY kit on this page is already sized to a guest range, so you don't have to do the math yourself, just pick the package that matches your headcount.

Yes, for playback, that part is easy: connect a phone to the speaker and hit play. Where it goes wrong isn't the music, it's that nobody at the wedding is assigned to catch a feedback screech or a mic that cuts out mid-vow, because everyone including your "uncle DJ" is also a guest at the wedding. If that risk worries you more than the DJ price does, adding a SwissMixx technician for $950 solves exactly that problem without the cost of a full DJ package.

A DIY kit runs $249 to $899 depending on the package, and covers the sound only, you or a friend run it. Adding a SwissMixx technician to any kit is $950 flat, and now a pro is running your sound while you're at your own wedding. A full wedding DJ, who also MCs, cues songs live, and coordinates the reception, starts at $2,500 for reception only and runs to $5,750 for a full day. The DIY-plus-tech route gets you real gear and someone else responsible for it at roughly a third of full DJ pricing, without the MCing and live song curation a DJ adds.
