Re: Notice of Event
To Whom it May Concern,
Saturday May 5th, 2018 from 4-10pm there will be a private wedding held at
51205 Evangeline Way. Measures have been taken to ensure that parking will not
affect the neighborhood and sound for the ceremony will be at a respectable level
and not be over the maximum decibel level per the city of La Quinta.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the on-
site responsible contact Lindsay Thompson at 925-207-8566. An additional on-
site manager from McLean Company Rentals will be there to ensure that the 10pm
quiet time is met. If for any reason you cannot get ahold of the on-site responsible
contact, you can call the caretaker for the property Rhianna at 760-898-9192.
It is our goal to make sure that the wedding does not infringe on the neighborhood
and we will make every reasonable attempt to rectify any concerns.
Regards,
McLean Company Rentals on behalf of 2500 N. Palm Canyon Dr. STE B5 Palm
Springs, CA 92262 760-322-2500
