I bought the filmmaker kit, because the Go didn't exist back then.
1 is adequate - for the registrar/celebrant. If you have 2 then one can go on the Groom, which picks up the bride too.
I think this made the ceremony so much more enjoyable for the guests:

I have one venue rearranged 8 Prom Nights which are due to take place BEFORE schools return - so those going to uni/college are not away from home. Don't think there is a cat in hells chance personally, BUT even the schools think it will be ok. Hoping they know more than us, but still can't see it personally

Ironically, I've just been talking to a dealer about that very item.

I was very impressed with these mics, I've never seen them before. One question springs to mind though, do you use these with the inbuilt mics, or do you use them with a seperate mic (with a lead), so as to be able to make them less noticeable?

Wash your mouth out with soap!! Actually, I wouldn't dispute that one unit is more than capable, and in fact I've made a lot of noise with just one at a disco. BUT: Symetry with one is tricky. Ever since I got mine last year, I've been aiming to get its twin ( or at the very least, a white mains powered 5 ).

Ah, good point - I've been using the more expensive RØDELink Filmmaker Kit which has a lavalier mic so the belt pack sits either on the belt or in a pocket, discretely hidden away.

Symetry? Not really needed outside - check my video, you have to work hard to find the speaker in the first place! Most of the time, the speaker is kept to the side anyway, so out of view.
Here's another one - again it doesn't stand out. In reality it would have been a lot of work and a lot of extra cabling to add in a second 'symetrical' speaker. For ceremonies, you're adding more work for yourself for no reward. I don't think I'll need to say this one twice: save your money

Ahem. At what point did I use the word " outside"? I have a couple of venues where the look and portability of the White 5s would be perfect for the evening function.
To be fair, I didn't make myself clear at all, so for that I apologise.
My need for symetry is confined solely to the " formal" evening setup. Outside, as you rightly point out, discretion is the better part of making a noise.

I've not tried it, but I don't think you can bluetooth two speakers from one source. Shame. You can however slave one GO from another with merely one signal cable. That's the main reason why I let my 5s go, in favour of 11s, to get the slave facility. Why the mains powered 5 is the only unit without that facility still baffles and irks me.
PS. Too damn right I'll have to save some money, with microphones at £200+!
