Ipod for wedding music? Or a laptop with good speakers?

[Celebration]

Okay we have a guitarist hired, who will play before and after the wedding and while we eat dinner. But one guitarist, awesome as he is, doesn't make for dance music. This is a small wedding that could be overhwhelmed by a band or DJ.

What is the best way to play music? There won't be a computer in the room though I guess we could take a laptop. The music things you rent seem too big and expensive. Are there Ipod stations with speakers good enough for dancing for maybe forty or fifty people in a 1000 square foot room? The only one anyone has is just for a desk. Or, can laptops support good speakers? What speakers? We have various types of laptops we could use.

I know there are probably some good options out there, but none of us has any with current equipment. Obviously we have to buy something. Any suggestions?

1. For around $100

you could get a terrific set of 2 + 1 (subwoofer) speakers that should be plenty loud and clear enough.

I'd also suggest a simple player called 1 By 1. It doesn't require you to make playlists, just organise the music into folders and it plays through them.

2. Thanks

If you have specific type speakers in mind, I'd love to know. Otherwise, I will go the direction of PC laptop plus speakers plus downloaded music plus 1 plus 1

Thanks. It gives me a decent starting place.
