lights and sounds (thread 2)

[Chili1113]

Sorry to hear that Sparklingjewel!!! Kaya pala my coordinator and stylist were discouraging me from booking Sensitivity. Cant wait to see you photos and sde!! hugs!

[sparklingjewel]

^Really told Kutchie to tell Meanne of Sensitivity na sablay sila. Kaloka kasi start palang sabog na pero di na naayos depite the many times we and the coors prodded. Dont know whats wrong. Lights were okay and choice of music during games, etc.. but di sila foolproof kahit mahal. Buti nalang towards the end parang nag improvise extra mic so mas naging solid.

[reese17]

I think for the price that Sensitivity charges, they should have done better sparklingjewel! Sorry to hear that your L/S flopped. Sensitivity did so well at my wedding (as in no flaws) but if they're starting to become inconsistent, it would be good for future brides to really scout and research before booking.

^sorry to hear that sparklingjewel, did you have sufficient speakers sis or maybe there's something wrong about how they positioned the speakers? That's the tricky part for outdoor events kasi, considering angelfields malaki ang venue. How about your musicians? They should have figured that out too during the sound check. 

[hermione28]

aww. sorry to head that sis sparklingjewel.

thanks for your review. I might instead book rejectkrew kasi I have first hand experience na on my sister's wedding.

[rowan]

hello! i usually hear metrotech for projectors and led walls but kamusta lights and sounds nila? thanks!

Sis sparklingjewel


Grabe sensitivity no. Big chunk sila sa wedding budget natin pero they do not meet our expectations. Ganyan din sila sa wedding ko last year. But my problem naman was the lights / lighting. Parang kulang. Namention na ni kutchie before sa kanila yun during the meeting and MeAnne insisted enough na daw yun. We even rented a back up generator from them (additional 20k) because we were expecting maraming mood lights so Sofitel suggested dapat may back up gen just in case di kayanin ng power supply ng ballroom. Err.. to our dismay hindi stunning ang lighting setup. Buti na lang maganda na talaga sofitel.

Another thing, nung pictorial namin with principal sponsors, pink kami. Parang sila tuloy yung pinapatamaan ng isang supplier sa post niya na magaganda daw ang gamit, but the crew, no idea gamitin yung mga equipment. Hmpf.

Speaking of crew, dami nila pinakain namin like 12-15 pax yun with meal allowance. Imagine the expense allotted for them. Such a waste talaga. Should've booked metrotech or rejectkrew. Maganda na lights and sounds ko, naka save pa kami hehe

[Chili1113]

^An option for those booking rejectkrew is if you find the lights in their fixed package not enough, is to ask your stylist to add some for a minimal fee. =) This is what someone I know did and it came out well and they still saved money.

I wish I had thought of doing that and saved some money. Even if I booked 2 packages from Rejecktkrew kasi it would be much cheaper still than my current package with my Lights and Sounds Supplier.-- Although I booked someone else, not Sensitivity and OK sila to talk to so far.

Omg ang hassle naman ng Sensitivity! I remember a reputable wedding blogger telling me na colorful lights directly hitting eye level (or guests) is a big no-no. Ayaw ng p/v yun. Plus pangit din tingnan. And audio is a BIG big factor ha. Kapag pangit ang sounds kahit gaano pa kaganda ang event minsan nagmumukhang cheap. Ang mahal pa naman nila.

[belle_v2g]

^sis juwie, since we have the same reception venue, i was told by my musicians {impressions music ensemble} na glass garden talaga pangit din the acoustics, but it can be fixed. i'm glad we've chosen the ones who are very caring and technical talaga in terms of sound requirements and they bring their own equipment na supposedly provided na ng L&S supplier. They don't want to risk it kasi minsan sila yung napagbibintangan ng client. our husbands too buti na lang are both musicians so they understand these stuff.. {plus ang dami din naming singers and musicians na guests and ento} Nagbilin din our musicians how to position the speakers, they asked for rejectkrew's list of equipment plus they assisted during the sound check kaya ang ganda ng outcome.

[sparklingjewel]

I will write to the owner pa of Sensitivity and update you guys. Hindi ko narin kasi in-OC yang L&S because i put too much trust they would deliver. Lights ko ok, hindi too colorful and swak naman sa mga dance number, etc yung effects. Nagupgrade naman kami ng lights.  It was the sounds na disappointing. Not sure pa what exactly the problem was but il update you guys.

Metrotech is really good, we booked 2 LED walls from them with a plan of combining them into a giant one. When that didnt work due to venue restrictions, they were able to customize a screen for us to maximize the space we had. Galing, we never saw it until the wedding itself. But swak sya sa height ng tent namin. Quality was also superb. They are much cheaper than Sensitivity for LED walls, too.

That got me really worried My mom just had a dream about my wedding and the sound was horrible. I'll make sure to tell Kutchie to remind Sensitivity to do their job right.

[reese17]

^ I think best to call up Sensitivity and let them know your concerns so you can be sure they're on their toes! sparklingjewel also wrote na medyo late na rin yung turnover niya with Kutchie so baka better if you flag this to Sensitivity early on (and keep reminding them!)

[Megantaur]

^^That is true, I suppose they'd be more alert if they are contacted by their clients.  I really really really pray that everything will go according to plan on my BIG day.

[NikkiV]

aww... sad to hear this sis sparklingjewel I booked them too and now I'm starting to worry. Will follow this discussion and hopefully, they will be able to provide a valid explanation.

Was sensitivity referred by Kutchie too?

[reese17]

Megantaur, NikkiV, just to reassure you, I had Sensitivity for my wedding and they did well. We had no issues with the sound system or the program flow. I got them to do the drapes of my tent and even rented my LCD projector from them. (MeAnn herself was handling my wedding, though. So that probably helped too.) Mention nalang your concerns and be firm na you expect a lot from them. Hope your weddings go smoothly!

[wednesdei]

I paid a premium and booked Sensitivity even though i had other cheaper options. They were a failure in the Sounds department at my wedding. I will be demanding an explanation from the owner. They are my most un-recommended supplier at the moment.

Glad to know this. Isa din kasi sila sa plan ko ibook sa Getting Married bridal fair.

[Megantaur]

Thanks for the assurance sis  reese17, I'll surely tell them my concerns regarding sa lights and sounds. I guess it depends on the circumstances?

[tan.denise54]

My friend who got married last year got sensitivity and the sounds were ok naman. Just to encourage those who got them too

[InquisitorLavellan]

Tried searching in the forums but I haven't had any feedback on our l/s supplier LX Events Pro also known as Audiotrism Pro Sounds & Lighting System. They're one of the accredited suppliers of Sampaguita Gardens but it would also be nice to know if anyone has worked with them TIA!
