People are having parties now. There has been a lot of inquires to have events. There are homes in the Gilroy, Morgan Hill, and San Martin area that have huge lots which make it easier to have a successful outdoor function. But there may be a place to throw an event that may not be as big. The houses maybe close together and some cities are strict with noise ordinances. Usually if the city is small then those officers would tend to tell the party to keep it down and give a few warnings. 

How do you have a successful Spanish Latin Party in the Backyard?

Depending on the backyard, you would only need 2 12 inch or 15 inch speakers. They only need to be at least 50 percent in volume. If you are playing Spanish music you will need a level area as a dance floor. Grass or dirt is not a good area to dance but rather cement or a dance floor can be rented. For California, when it comes to Spanish music, I tend to stick with the majority of cumbia music. I usually go with cumbia and throw in some salsa music. It all depends what part of Latin America they are from. I tend to play more banda if they are from Mexico. 

For your Spanish party please be sure to contact Black and White Affair for a party with Latin flavor. 

 San Jose is a big city with lots of people living close by to each other. I had an event this past Saturday and you never know if the party will be cut off early due to sound restrictions. My clients have been smart people when it comes to having big functions at their house. This is what they do.

They give their neighbors a heads up. One can invite them to the function or at least let them know that it maybe louder than usual and you will keep quiet after a certain time. It always good to have a good relationship with your neighbors because they can make life more difficult in general.

They make a good guest list. They do not invite everyone and their mom on their social media. They are selective on who they invite because one person who was not invited can totally destroy a party if they do not behave correctly.

They do not overindulge in beverages. It is great to have a good time but one has to be aware of what is happening to be a good host.

Make sure the dj does not have too much sound. The party is not for 400 people but rather under a 75. A dj can do a fabulous job with a couple of 8 inch to 12 inch speakers.

If you are throwing an event in San Jose, its good to have neighbors in the loop and have a good guest list of people you know and a dj who know what they are doing.
