Building on the earlier suggestion, make sure to consider clipping. I would suggest the Rode Wireless ME Compact Wireless Microphone System since its GainAssist technology basically manages levels so you dont ruin the audio.

Unfortunately the ECM-B10 sounds pretty processed to me and i dont love it.

• Rode VideoMic NTG Hybrid Analog/Digital Shotgun is a total tank.
• Sony ECM-G1 Shotgun Microphone is solid too.

My buddy told me the exact same thing last week. Guess he was right lol.

Just saw this. Weddings are a different beast and I learned that the hard way. I once had a setup fail during a ceremony because I didnt test the interference at the venue beforehand, and it was a total nightmare trying to salvage the audio. Reliability is the only thing that matters when youre on a budget. Before you drop cash on anything, I have to ask:

• Are you primarily looking to capture the vows clearly from a distance, or is this just to get better ambient sound for the highlight reel?
• Will you be able to monitor the audio with headphones the whole time, or do you need something thats basically set-and-forget? Knowing that makes a huge difference in whether a shoe-mounted mic is even the right call. Buying the wrong thing two weeks before a gig is a recipe for stress.

Wow ok that changes things. Gonna have to rethink my approach now.
