Well, sounds like it would be an easy night on your gear.
Would you consider doing this wedding?

Or, you can record it all at a higher level and then send people home with a CD and they can listen to a through the roof performance in the comfort of their home.
Sorry I forgot to answer a question. 2 of my favorite venues is Galloping Hill Inn and Snuffy's.
Your two favorite venues are on my I REFUSE TO PLAY AT list (I only have 4 and you got 2/4).... go figure lol
Good thing for you... otherwise you'd be competing with Mix for gigs at those venues.[emoji1]

Very simple... they do not accommodate the needs of my services and what my clients deserve and expect, and therefore do not want to be in a situation where my clients will be less than satisfied. The two venues you mentioned are notorious for not providing adequate time for the setups that I typically sell. Clients that call me typically want a variety of services that need a certain amount of space and time to prepare. When you give 45 minutes for a set up that needs at least 60- 90 minutes with additional staffing... you know there's going to be issues. The other main concern I have with these venues is they fail to adhere properly to a timeline and staff is no where to be found when you need em. Just in general these are not venues I want to associate with as they are considered the low of the low end of wedding venues in the area. Another venue I don't go to is because it doesn't allow vendors to bring in anything other than their speakers (any options you desire are required to be provided by their in house vendor), and while the venue itself is nice and of good quality, it doesn't accomodate my business model where I need at least $750 in add ons per event to meet my goals.
I work for the money not the noise. Hell, I'm perfectly willing to accept payment for 4 - 6 hours of silence.
I'd love to do this kind of gig. I'm a big fan of Bossa Nova and Jazz from different eras. But I'd have to catch up on modern Latin music. And there's no reason music has to be loud in order to dance. Most DJs play too loud anyway. I agree that people should be able to converse without yelling in each other's ears.
I think a lot of times that noise complaint's are because of low quality speakers that make it very uncomfortable on the ears and create ear piercing noise. I guarantee you I play louder than most on here, but I rarely get noise complaints. People are in fact more surprised how comfortable the sound was and that they were sitll able to have conversations despite the volume being up there. When I had my k12's I got noise complaints at least 1-2x a month, now with my new rcf l24 and 8004 system I get maybe 1-2x a year... and my rcf system is significantly louder.

I recon you have the other 2 also he just hasn't mentioned them yet
I can't argue with you on this one but one of us is a close second on the loud department
But I agree it's generally ear fatigue that causes the problem
Too loud is very subjective and most wouldn't understand a decibel meter so you might run in to trouble with that but that being said if I had time to learn the music I would be glad to take on that challenge....if the price was right
The other two venues are not bad venues... good food and expensive compared to the other ones he mentioned... I highly doubt he'll ever be playing there if the ones he mentioned are his "high end". They just don't fit into my business model is all.I recon you have the other 2 also he just hasn't mentioned them yet
I agree. The question, "what's too loud" might be considered rhetorical because it is subjective. I went to a Ted Nugent concert last year and my ears actually hurt! They were also ringing for weeks afterward. That's way too loud IMO. But the OP indicated what's too loud for the prospect involved.
if the people can't have a conversation with people at their table, it's too loud
Even when I was young I never enjoyed yelling in someone's ear in order to converse with them.
Speaker placement is another factor. Those sitting closer to speakers will get more DB than those in the back.
Speaker construction as well. Linear array speakers seem to bypass physics (actually don't, but the process isn't well understood), but they do seem to allow a lower overall volume to carry further into the room, making it less objectionable for those up front.
True Steve, but the size and shape of the room can be another problem.
There would be no competition. Either it's me or him. Just that simple. I started to make a joke but will save it for another time. Taso I just wanted to know how did the moving heads you use cost?
