Frequently asked questions
Absolutely. An expert in Dolby AtmosTM movie theater surround sound mixing and mastering designed our systems to ensure the highest possible sound quality. In addition…
- We employ RTA audio analysis algorithms during setup to ensure technical factors (e.g., equalization, crossover frequency, phase and polarity) are set correctly, with guests lauding our “recording studio” sound.
- We use a tri-amped system with cardioid subwoofers to shake you down to the ground but keep the bass in its place (on the dance floor!) so aunts and uncles can reminisce and converse at their tables with less low-end boom.
- We use lossless compression technology in our tracks—far beyond .mp3 quality on Spotify or Apple Music—with all music owned and stored on locally encrypted disks to ensure no Wi-Fi glitches.
- We ensure our sound perfectly aligns with your selected venue with a signal chain comprised of professional-grade equalization, compression and limiting.
- We employ real-time sound-level monitoring throughout the event to ensure levels are just right.
Hearing is incredibly important. In fact, we require all our EJs to wear sound reduction earplugs because of the audio levels they are exposed to throughout the wedding season. Don’t worry, we can hear you better during conversation over the sound because of the way the earplugs attenuate.
We also ensure our average volumes are within OSHA safety standards of 100 dBA for a 2-hour period on the dance floor and 90 dBA for a 4-hour period in surrounding areas. Using cardioid subwoofers and measured speaker aiming, we send most of the sound power onto the dance floor so that tables and bar areas off the to the sides have much lower levels.
Finally, we lend out complimentary sanitized hearing-protection headphones for infants and children and provide disposable foam earplugs for adult guests upon request.
Yes, we do. Should you not be fully satisfied with our performance on the day of your wedding, we will refund our creative costs (less our nominal operating expenses) as we want you to be happy on one of the most important days of your life!

Absolutely! We will work with you and your other vendors to ensure we are supporting your vision for your wedding day. Some requests may require extra investment because they are outside our normal process. We also reserve the right to decline any changes that might affect the ability for the EJ to perform or negatively impact the Auriary brand.
Despite our experience, Auriary is fairly new to the NY, NJ, PA, CT market. We expect to hire and train more EJs and provide greater options in future wedding seasons. But we have a high bar for talent, so we’ll keep you posted.
Please see our pricing page for our latest package pricing.
We require access to the venue 2 hours before to set up and 1 hour afterwards to tear down. Our sound experiences can’t be rushed!
