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

How is it “beautiful” for the neighbours?? Disturbed sleep is a form of torture for a reason.

They are being unreasonable, we have one going on round the corner from me, you can hear it over the back gardens, but they are quiet after 10:30 - pop a note in the door congratulating them but asking if they can keep a curfew as others are up for work.

I would have sent a polite text, dialling 141 then their number, so it hides yours. If it carries on tonight, at a reasonable time, say 10.30 or 11, just simply text to say 'We all have work tomorrow, could you please turn the volume right down now as we are trying to sleep, having got very little last night. Many thanks. Your neighbours' (no names)

Or do the 141 thing today and say
Congratulations on your wedding, sounds like you are all having a great time.
If tonight is the same, please can you turn the volume right down from say 10.30pm as we have had very little sleep due to the loudness and lateness last night - we all have to work next day.
Many thanks,
Your neighbours. (no need to put a name)

Oh yes! Do this. Why on earth didn't you book your annual leave in order to coincide with the celebration of these unmannerly and anti-social people.

If I were you, I would sit down with them-with your diary- and consult with them for any future ignorant behaviour they might be planning. Then you will have advance notice and you will be able to plan your life/work/holidays around them.

Alternatively, you could call the police and tell them that a Far Right political party is making all this noise-I imagine they will be round like a shot.

Seriously, ignore posters like @PopeJoan2 who either cause this problem themselves or who have no work commitments and spend their days lounging on a sofa.

What's the problem with that statement, it's true.

I think that it's unfair of you to leave this to your poor neighbour. If you can hear it down the road then imagine how bad it must be for her.

Coincidentally, we had Hindu celebrations this end and the singing and smells from theirs were just beautiful. If I'd been brave enough, I'd have asked to join in!

But you must contact them because this all sounds horrendous.

Personally I suggest The Police as

1. The Council seem to indicate that they wont take action, and
2. Its the sort of thing that could lead to a 'breach of the peace'

The only other thing I might try is contacting The Councils licensing section to see if the event needs to be licensed.

Would you want to be operated on by a surgeon who’d been kept awake for “just a week”? Or be taken to work by a bus driver who’d been kept awake for “just a week”? What about sharing the road with lorry drivers who’d been awake “for just a week”?

It’s downright inconsiderate to keep a whole street awake for a week. I’m disabled and it would make me ill, DH wouldn’t be able to do his job properly and would probably get a bollocking. It would completely mess up little children for the week, too.

I’d be on the phone to the council this morning asking them to do something about it. Never mind keeping a bloody diary, fgs. They need to act now.

What a stupid thing to say! Unbelievable. Meanwhile most folk have to get on with life including getting up early with children and work.

^ Realistically this is the only thing you can do now.

Invite yourself around with a small gift - a food item , perhaps - you might be welcomed and this might be an opportunity to speak to one of the in-laws about the noise once you've broken the ice.

Agree with the general point about cars, etc. I really wish we had more local mini car parks and get rid of on-street parking completely, unless of course you have a disability etc. But that's another thread...

I dont think this is necessarily true - they have issues with one set of neighbours, yet having a wedding and letting all the neighbours know. They have also given their number in case anyone has any issues.

I say this as i have a neighbour in my street who has issues with another - to all intensive purposes, youd blame the family when actually i know the elderly one on the other side personally and know she can be a very difficult person. But on the outside, youd just assume it was the family's fault

It sounds like the household have a number of ASB issues that need to be addressed not just the wedding.

The wedding is part of the behaviour not a 'one off'

Get on to your Councillor & The Police

You have the flyer as evidence

Nobody reasonable behaves like this in the first place. Whether or not you send out a note, blasting excessively loud music at 1 in the morning in a residential area is arsehole behaviour, especially on a weekday.

Saying "well we did tell everyone and left our number" isn't fair nor a get out clause. It puts the onus on those around them to have to feel awkward like the OP and ask them to curb their behaviour, when it is very obvious to anyone with half a brain cell that they shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.

Some people have to work or look after kids during the day. They don't have the luxury of sleeping during the day and not having to worry about being kept awake for 5 nights!

I live in a big Muslim community (DP and I are basically the only non Muslims on the street) so from now through summer there are lots of week long celebrations for weddings- loads of cars, singing, fireworks in the daytime etc. It is loud, but we knew when we moved into this community that would potentially happen. We find it very joyful, but we don't have kids- admittedly that would potentially make it more challenging.

I actually think they are being really nice warning people in advance. Many wouldnt. Its a wedding and just a week!

I didn't see the post about your he and being disabled until I had written my post above! In that case I apologise as he isn't a coward if he's disabled.

You need to complain if he physically can't.

Or noise cancelling headphones. They are incredible.

'DH won't let me because we're relatively new on the street.'

Translation - My husband is a coward and is scared that any perfectly reasonable request to turn the music down or off will result in confrontation where they might laugh at him or even give him a bop on the nose and he will run away crying.

I coils t be married to a man like that.

Complaint in no uncertain terms that they should have hired a hall and not had the loud celebrations disturbing everyone past midnight!

It’s totally unreasonable to play loud music past a certain time every night for a week - wedding or no wedding. Friday and Saturday night- up to midnight is tolerable. Any other night music should stop at 11. I would go round and explain your concerns. Hopefully they are reasonable when you speak to them.

Can you call the police because they're being antisocial? I know they don't deal with excessive noise, but could it be classed as antisocial behaviour if the same happens again. Even licensed wedding venues and music stadiums have a noise curfew!

I do know people who would deal with this by going round and smashing all their teeth in and, though I certainly wouldn't recommend this course, I can say that it seems to work.

Can your husband not buy some earplugs today so at least he can sleep for the rest of the wedding? I know that it’s still frustrating but if he’s not willing to complain and the council etc won’t do anything you may as well accept it and try and find ways to block out the noise and still get a good nights sleep rather than complain but ultimately do nothing else and sleep badly as a result.

They sound so entitled. Taking over a whole street for a week. You want a week long wedding, get a weeklong venue.
