[Bride's Letter] Groom's Mic Holding 🎤

Recently, a friend who had a wedding said, "I definitely want you to write an article about this!" Here are some regrets they had regarding their wedding.

It's about the "groom's mic holding" when reading the bride's letter.

When reading the bride's letter, the options are as follows:

✅ Use a stand microphone

✅ The groom holds the microphone

These are the two choices.

A stand microphone offers stability, making it easier to read the letter, and having the groom hold the microphone can enhance the sense of unity between the couple.

I don't think there's a clear winner between the two; it likely depends on personal preference (or the venue's way). In this article, however, I will share some tips on what to pay attention to when the groom holds the microphone, along with good practices. 🎤

[Caution] Don't Hold the Mic from the Side!

My friend who had a wedding said that when reading the bride's letter, the groom held the microphone...

However, he was holding it in such a way that it was extended straight out to the side, which created some distance between them. She was worried whether her voice would reach him.

↑ You know, I've seen this kind of sideways mic holding quite often...!

Indeed, if the mic is positioned on the side instead of directly in front of the person, it might seem a bit awkward to speak, and if the gaze is directed forward, it's hard to judge the mic's position.

Holding the mic from the side while the groom is holding it with the hand on the bride's side gives off a sort of interviewer vibe due to the distance between them...!

When the mic is held from the side, it raises concerns about whether the sound is being picked up well and it doesn't look great. We want the groom to hold the mic in a way that picks up sound well while also looking smart.

<Tips for Groom Holding the Mic>

So, how should the groom hold the microphone?

I looked at various photos, and I’ll share some tips on how to hold it beautifully while making it easier for the bride to read the letter.

✅ The groom should face the bride with his whole body

✅ The groom should hold the mic with the hand opposite to the bride

✅ The arm holding the mic should extend toward the bride's front

✅ The mic should be vertical, not horizontal

(Avoid lifting the bottom of the mic like a stand mic)

✅ The mic should be positioned just below the bride's face (not blocking the face and not too far away)

✅ The bride's hand should wrap around her waist

Here’s an example of a "beautiful hold" I thought was great♡

The groom leans his body toward the bride, and he holds the mic straight at a suitable distance to clearly pick up her voice. The bride’s face is also perfectly visible. ♡
