Carpet & Drop Ceiling or an All Marble Room?

My wife, Megan, only had one requirement for our wedding reception, no drop ceilings. Fortunately I found a beautiful VFW venue that worked-out great.

Being a wedding DJ, I’ve been to many extravagant venues where the walls and floors are made of marble. Yes, they’re more beautiful, but the sound can suffer in these environments.

Sound bounces off hard surfaces so large marble rooms sound like echo chambers. Have you ever been inside a Cathedral? They’re usually made of stone and marble; it’s always hard to understand what the priest is saying.

Just remember soft materials like carpet or drop ceiling absorb sound, letting the music and toasts sound much clearer.
