Music Volume At Your Wedding Reception
Louder Doesn't Make It Better

You may have some concerns regarding the volume level of the disco at your Wedding Reception. You may have been to someone else's wedding where the DJ blasted out 'banging tunes' and distorted music through cheap homemade speakers much to the dismay of the Bride & Groom, the Venue Manager and the Wedding Guests. When it comes to sound, we pride ourselves on being able to offer the very best in both quality and quantity to our Wedding Clients.

Volume

A Wedding is an event where people of all age groups are together in one place to celebrate your very special day. A Wedding Reception is a completely different type of event to that of going to a Club Night with your mates. Many of your invited guests may not have seen each other for a number of years and will be happy to use this special time to catch up on family news in a relaxed and enjoyable party environment. What they don't want to do is spend the night screaming into each others ears over deafening levels of volume blasting from the DJ's sound system.

At your Wedding Reception, it is a vital part of our service to be able to play your chosen music at a volume which is; both loud enough on the dance-floor for people to make some serious shapes & party, yet at the same time, quiet enough for your guests in other parts of the room to talk without shouting or screaming. We have heard of many cheap & inexperienced DJ's who think that 'the louder it is, the better it sounds'. This is simply not true. A clear sound is far better than a distorted one, and why risk your guests being miserable all night on the most important day of your life because of the overpowering volume of a disco?

At RSK Entertainment & Leisure, we get the balance right for you.

Legislation

Due to new legislation initiated by the Health & Safety Executive in 2007, Music Entertainers have to be very careful of the sound levels they now perform at, and this should be taken into consideration before booking your DJ or Band. Our high quality digital playout has a built in limiter to assist in keeping the volume level steady.

It is also due to this legislation that you may see us taking sound level readings from various points of the room during the evening. This ensures that we are operating at a safe volume level at all times and not putting you or your guests at risk of long term hearing problems such as tinnitus. You can find more information about this legislation at www.hse.gov.uk (new window). Many high quality venues & hotels are also using sound limiters. These devices are used to automatically cut the power if the volume goes over a certain threshold. As well as ruining the flow of the party atmosphere, sound limiters can also damage DJ equipment if they are triggered. Isn't this the last thing you would want to happen at your Wedding Reception Disco? With our Wedding DJ Services, we can guarantee that this won't happen.

Innovative & Stylish

We realise that it would be both inappropriate and impractical to expect you and your guests to wear ear protection for the duration of your evening celebration. We therefore choose to stay within the recommended guidelines. Bose L1 CompactWe have invested in the newest and and most innovative of PA's. A system that looks like no other on the market. A speaker system that we have selected as the ideal product for use at Wedding Receptions (upto 200 guests & perfect for the majority of Weddings) that make it possible for us to comply with the HSE Legislation.

The Bose® L1 Compact is (as the name suggests) compact & stylish, yet it provides enough volume to fill the dance-floor with crystal clear audio (as you would expect from a company such as BOSE®). We have two L1's for use at your Wedding Reception to provide a clear stereo sound. If you would like to read about and see more of our specially chosen sound system, click here (new window). 

Venue & Event Managers love this too as; not only does it look very stylish; which makes their venues look good, it also does not exceed the advised decibel limit and therefore does not result in possible complaints from other guests who may be using the venues facilities.

We proudly invite you to hear for yourself, the stunning quality of our sound system. Please call for further information or check our availability to book your Wedding Reception Entertainment with us. We are confident that your guests will thank you for it. All this at a price rate that isn't going to go over budget.
