For thinking that you shouldn't impose your celebrations on the entire street?

Why because I have a different attitude/approach from you?
Doesn't make you right and me wrong.

They’re just selfish as evidenced by the behaviour when they parked over a neighbour’s drive.

I can understand some cultures have week long weddings and I have no issue with that but after 11pm, the music needs to be turned down low or off! Nobody needs it loud at stupid o clock!

go there with a plate of.sweetmeats or cake for the happy couple and then ask them to turn it down a bit?

I’m guessing they are maybe an Indian family as their wedding celebrations can last up to a week! So it’s cultural, they’ve given out numbers so nothing wrong in contacting during the day to say it was loud!

Your posts just get sillier and sillier.

Yes they can. Mind over matter. How do you think shift workers cope.? It's not forever either.

They go all night long.

An Asian wedding. I quite enjoy the fireworks & that, but they do go on. None of us would never get another nights sleep if we all celebrated in this way. In fact it would probably be banned. I’m sure our last one went on for 2 weeks. I wasn’t particularly bothered & they did put letters through most peoples boxes, apart from the ones in the bungalows. Almost like they think that these elderly people don’t matter.

Why report them they've already reached out explaining. Why not just let them enjoy their occasion. Just relax. Buy ear plugs if necessary.

I'd go and speak to them. If they sent letters round about potential inconvenience they must know that they would upset some people.

But I'd also be reasonable about. Unsocial hours in most areas is 11pm to 7am so ask them to cut the noise after 11.

In what ways is it "no different"? I can't think of anything comparable.

Because Asians get a free pass from decent neighbourly relationships? Maybe other neighbours will have a weeklong party and see how they like their lives to be so disturbed.

People can't just "get on with" normal parts of life like sleeping and working when music is blaring. That's why we have noise laws.

Sorry but still not worth getting in a swizzle about , just get on with it.

I’m not sure what you expect people to advise if you don’t want to cause an issue with them. This isn’t fair behaviour. And anyone saying you should just join is nuts. This isn’t some film- it’s real life where people have lives and jobs.

I’d have a chat with them and ask them to stop the music at 11pm. That’s a reasonable time for a weekday. If they don’t: Call the council, in the day, and explain the issue. Record a few videos on your phone to show the noise issue.

I think if you are going to inflict this racket on your neighbours then you should invite them

I'd put an anonymous note through the door if you don't want them to be able to specifically come back to you (though of course someone might see you!), saying:

"We appreciate you gave us a heads up about the wedding celebrations though we hadn't anticipated the volume of the music and the lateness of the hour last night. You may be celebrating, but the rest of your neighbours still need to go to work this week and being kept awake until 4am [or whatever time it was] is totally unacceptable.

It is also considered to be a statutory nuisance for any such noise to be made between 11pm and 7am [insert link to noisy neighbour webpage from your local council]."

I live in an area where there are often Asian weddings and although the celebrations go on for a while, there's not usually a noisy party every day in my experience.

If you have pets, you might want to ask them if they're planning on having fireworks at any point and again pointing out the firework laws. Round near us there are too many inconsiderate idiots that let off industrial grade fireworks from their gardens at 3am.

One of our neighbours had a massive party in their garden with a marquee and a DJ booth until 4am. Their house has a massive extension with a very social open plan kitchen, living room and dining room space, yet it was totally empty and unused! If they'd had it indoors, we wouldn't have likely complained!

And then a passerby commented on how noisy it was and a little girl in a beautiful gold dress pushed to the front of the crowd and said 'love is loud' and then everyone clapped and cheered 🍻

That is very YANBU, a week they should have hired a hotel! That’s really not fair on residents that want to live.

i would pop a polite message just mentioning “I just want to wish you all the best for your beautiful wedding, sorry to ask but it has been a bit loud would you mind keeping the music down after 10 as we havent slept well these past few nights.
still report to the council as they want minimum 2 people before they act.

I don't expect they are invited

5 nights of that noise? I'd be livid if somebody was doing that in my area when I was trying to sleep. It is selfishness, pure and simple, to expect neighbours to put up with that for 5 days/nights and not expect them to be thoroughly annoyed by it. I bet the people holding the event wouldn't be quite so willing to accept it if the OP and her family had a big celebration that went on for some long and caused so much disruption.

Live and let live comes to mind. Concentrate on something else. Sorry but it's hardly life threatening is it?

I know- do all these apologists for bad behaviour have no inkling how thick they sound banging on about "Asian" weddings?

This talk of "Asian" weddings is a teeny bit patronising, condescending and racist.

Asia is the largest continent by both land area and population. It covers an area of more than 44 million square kilometres, about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8% of Earth's total surface area and a population 4.7 billion people spread over 55 countries. [Thanks Wiki]

If you're going to boast about how cool you are with a culture not your own, (no matter how selfish and antisocial an aspect of that culture apparently is) perhaps you could try identifying which one you're referring to?
