Is your Wedding DJ’s music too loud?

Image: Woman holding ears, are Los Angeles DJs too loud? It is a huge honor to be in the category of elite Los Angeles Wedding DJs. As one of the owners of Elegant Event Entertainment, I try to listen attentively to our clients for compliments and concerns in order to constantly try to improve our service.

Although we rarely receive complaints, I recently was reminded that there is one complaint I hear a lot, so often that I’ve nearly become immune to it. Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Orange County – every crowd has someone who mentions this magic topic – volume!

We have a policy when this happens: our DJs immediately walk from behind their DJ table/booth to double check the volume out front, we’ll walk around the room, and if warranted, we will always adjust the volume accordingly. But you can imagine what it’s like for a DJ to get a complaint from 1 or 2 people every night about the music being too loud, especially when hundreds of other guests never say anything at all. I have even had to ask myself if my hearing was going bad, but I am pretty sure it’s not. Some people are just very sensitive to loud music, particularly elderly people.

I have even had complaints where a client felt I should move my DJ set-up, (speakers and all) after a few guests complained that the speakers were blaring in their ears.
