You can look for equipment online, but in my opinion, you want to find out where you can go touch it. Radio Shack isn't the top of the line, but they do contract the builds out to major manufacturers, so it is typically usable. Don't worry about stereo, as you can't hear the separation in a hall or barroom anyway. The feel of your gear will be important to you. Try not to fall into too many hackey traps. If you're going to do weddings, try to remember that there are no do-overs. If you are not on your game, it could seriously screw up a couple's day. I'm not trying to create pressure for you, just telling it how it is. Weddings are generally very happy occasions and are quite fun to be involved with. Don't be afraid to pick up the mic and say what needs to be said. You have to have the authority to command a crowd and sound cool doing it, so practice. Practice talking up a record... That means talking over the intro right up to the start of the lyric without stepping on it. Practice things that you will have to say. Practice saying those things while running all of your gear, holding a hand up so that Uncle Irving knows that you need a minute before you can listen to him and not missing the mark to start that next song... Then go do it and have fun!!!!
