Need help with the setup for a patio speaker

I have a speaker that I plan on mounting outside to have music available at my deck and patio area. My current home theater receiver doesn't have dual zone control, and it would be a very long wire run to get to where the outdoor area.
Can anyone recommend a small amp/receiver for just one speaker? The only input it needs would be a 3.5mm headphone jack or just a regular audio input. It would be nice to have a remote and radio option but that isn't necessary.
TIA
ETA: It's a 150 Watt speaker

I've been wanting to get sound out on my patio for a while. I'm honestly just thinking about picking up a Bluetooth speaker that can pair with a phone. Probably be cheaper, and easier to set up and maintain. Just a thought.

If you are just going to use that one speaker, I would just buy a used receiver off of craigslist for under $100. If it doesn't have bluetooth built in, you could always buy a hook up for that off of amazon for playing stuff from your phone.
if you really want to go wireless though, you could get a Sonos Connect with Amp, which would drive more than just that one speaker. You can pick up a ZP-120 on eBay (the old version of the Connect with Amp) for under $300.

I don't need wireless because I plan on just using a chromecast audio. I already use mainly my phone or computer to stream my music.
