Yesterday had been to a colleague's Wedding reception. There was an Orchestra as usual as it is has become the latest trend. The Reception Hall was of medium size. But the sound rather I can use the word ‘Noise’ made by the orchestra made the hall to quiver and raising the heart beat. So I think now you can understand why I use the word ‘Noise’.I really don’t mean to say that the orchestra tem performed badly. Even though they did a good job people were not able to appreciate it much because the audio pitch was very high. And recently this had become a practice that you could see in most of the Wedding receptions. In marriages there would be the Nathaswaram and Mathalam and the sounds from these instruments would be different and no mikes kept beside them. Only friends and colleagues come for the reception. Their main idea of coming to the reception other than wishing the couple, would be for a get together with friends and happily spend time. And this objective would not be satisfactorily met due to the heavy sounds puncturing our ear drums. People would be conversing like passing secrets in each other’s ears:)
Why not this be bit modified? We can either go for some instrumental type which I feel would be ideal for a reception. Else the loud speakers and mike handling can be tailored in such a way that it makes a symphony to our ears rather making our whole body to shudder. Also this makes us to listen it with interest and makes the gathering feel pleased!!

Good thinking. If everyone thinks like this it will be nice. In general we follow, few things just because it is the fashion, or because it is followed. Most of us are like a flock of sheep. We never want to think and do few things like how we want. Another great nuisance is the video lights. Sometimes, videographers are arranged from both sides, ie., Bride and Bridegroom which is a total waste of money. Therefore, there will be 2 videographers bouncing 2000watts light on the couple. People should think before they engage such things. Your idea is very good and that is how some of them who conduct their marriage receptions do it. A very simple classic music background in mild stereo will be enough.
Thanks!!yes..we do most things as it is common in the soceity..as u say instead of wasting money to show thier pride, they can plan ahead and let the function go smoothly and peacefully!!
