Hi, I'm looking for ideas on the best way to mic this type of setup. The couple in the front are going through a conflict resolution exercise so they are mostly talking with each other. While the couple in the back are there to make sure they perform the exercise correctly (coaches). So in there home, in a pretty live room, wood floors, solid walls, no furniture. What would be the best mic setup, mic choice for this situation. The first time I did it, I had wireless on the blond woman with omni, and two big fat lapel mics on each of the younger couple.

Would a single boom mounted schoeps 641 be good? Well anyway please let me know ideal and options for using 1-2 mics to cover all of them since they are in relatively close proximity? Thank you in advance!

i cardioid would be fine
keep the acoustics as dry as possible
carpet and hellium baluns on the celling would make wonders
also 4x4 floppies or sound blankens outside the frame
 
Great! Thank you for the input...balloons! Can't wait to see the kids faces when they walk in and see balloons everywhere.

I searched the site for some good cardioid recommendations but most everything seems focused on hypers and shotguns...so I'd appreciate cardioid recs? Also, would it be better just to have two schoeps 641's floating over their heads to give the wider coverage?
 
if you have 2 boom operators , why not

schoeps 604 or neuman 184/140. octava cards , chiniz friend with card
