consideration that the venue she booked for her reception had a 5 piece band max for the room and when I showed up with a nine piece band (that the client booked)the manger made it clear they were not happy. The venue assigned a staff member to monitor the room with a decibel meter and spent most of the night telling us to turn things down so the police were not called by the surrounding neighbors. He was extremely sensitive to the horn section and said that he could hear them outside and didn’t want them in the PA system for that reason. The venue also pointed out to us that the band would be subject to a $1,500 fine in addition to any noise ordinance fines that were given by the police if the neighbors called about the volume. I do not consider us to be a very loud band so if I was being asked to turn down I know the venue has had problems in the past. I felt it was the best for everyone involved to cooperate the best we could to keep the venue happy. The issue with the speeches and tree is correct but the bride never mentions that the MC tried to direct her father to the tree and he refused to go there and said he wanted to give his speech from the stage. There was not a lot we could do to convince him otherwise. In my opionion and from the other 60 plus feedbacks we have out there I would say we are really easy to deal with and have always gone above a beyond for our clients. I have been playing for 30 years of playing and have a strong reputation and provide quality service, that event was no exception. We provided a quality service under very difficult circumstances and expectations. I tried my best to talk with the bride and her wedding planner the night of the event and her wedding planner made it clear she was being beyond difficult with every vendor and do the best to go with the flow. The guests enjoyed the performance and the guests were dancing all evening.
