Back Yard Wedding Setup

Thank you, the total area is approx 30x60 and it will be under cover. I really like the idea of having play ones placed throughout with maybe a play 5 by the dancing area. we definitely don't plan on bringing down the house ( don't want to piss off the neighborhood ). I'll have to work power out but the speakers should be able to use sonos net to link up correct ?, and if I get a play 5 with aux in I can use that as my music source right?
Btw you all have been great thanks

Yes, you can use the Play 5 aux as a source.... but... just a thought... depending on what you want to listen to, a digital subscription isn't that much (certainly when compared to the rest of your gear spend for a month of service)... you could get a subscription, connect it to your Sonos account and build your playlist for the event and just let it go for the day without the headache of having to manage a source...

If you want a "dancing area" you may really want to consider a pair of play 5's... but much depends on the size of the space and number of people you want dancing, etc....

Yes, the speakers can use SonosNet, but only if you have a Sonos product wired via ethernet to your router... Depending on how far away your router is, and if you want any audio indoors.... you may want to consider a "Boost" for this, as a means to get decent signal to your devices... you likely want to set this up in advance and not try to set it up the day before and find you don't get a decent signal through the yard, etc 🙂 IMHO you will likely benefit post-wedding from having the boost and enabling the use of SonosNet throughout the house and taking the load off your router for the number of devices you will then have in the home after the event. So it isn't wasted money at all.

Ok great thank you I was going to use a music subscription, I didn't think of the boost but will definitely look into that. Is it possible to create a "closed" sonos net with out the router just thinking thru all the different setups

Andrew, can you tell me if you ended up using Sonos for your wedding reception and how it worked out? Thanks!

Let me know me know too, Andrew. I am in the same situation. small wedding for under 75 people, backyard, similar area (covered). For us personally, could afford a large hall and wedding no sweat, but are enthralled of the idea of something different and keeping out investment. Thanks in advance

It worked out great for us , we had a play 5 for the the dance floor , a play 1 in the table area for people and a play 1 by the food and cake. Once the food was done we moved that play 1 to the bar. Everyone really liked it especially having the play 1s volume lower so it was back round music. Just becareful of people highjacking the play list !! and do a test run days before to work out the bugs
