UNDERSTANDING OUR COMMITMENT TO NOISE CONTROL
There is something special and magical about Nashoba Valley Winery & Orchard
including its residential neighborhoods and country setting. The natural beauty
of our farm and countryside setting affords
the opportunity to have an enjoyable and memorable day.
Our neighbors
and the town of Bolton allowed us to
build our wonderful garden pavilion based on a contract of trust and respect.
We are totally committed to preserving the integrity of our operations and the
rights of our neighbors to peacefully enjoy their property and the rural nature
of our community. While music is a very important aspect of your wedding
or reception, the determination of acceptable levels of music, announcements and
noise is at the sole and exclusive discretion of Nashoba Valley Spirits, Ltd.
Carefully selected, your music will create the atmosphere that makes the event
unique. We have hosted hundreds of weddings and functions and while
there have been situations where we have asked a DJ or musicians to lower the
volume, the level that we ask to be maintained is at a level that most people
would agree is very acceptable.
Terms of Understanding with respect to Noise Control
-
The determination
of acceptable levels of music and noise is at the sole and exclusive discretion
of Nashoba Valley Spirits, Ltd.
-
No noise,
music or announcements, will be allowed to exceed 85 decibels at the source.
The intensity of sound is measured in decibels. Normal conversation has a
level of approximately 60 decibels and a lawnmower emits noise of about 85bB..
-
At no time will
any source of sound from your event be allowed to cause any increase to the
ambient sound pressure level of the neighborhood when measured at the owner’s
property line. Ambient sound pressure level means the sound pressure level of
the all-encompassing noise associated with a given environment, usually a
composite of sounds from many sources.
-
Musicians/music
will be monitored at least 1/2 hour before your event to establish sound levels
compliant with these terms. Levels may be adjusted lower should
environmental conditions change.
-
Acceptable noise levels will be continuously monitored during the event to insure
acceptable levels are maintained.
We are
more than happy to fully discuss our noise policy before you enter into a
contract for the use of our facility. We want to make your wedding or event
special while preserving that which is already special to us.
