All questions.

What is a silent disco?

A silent disco is a party where guests dance to music played through wireless headphones instead of speakers. Our headphones glow, every set has its own volume control, and the only noise in the room is everyone singing along. Some of it good, some of it horrific.

How much does silent disco hire cost in Essex?

It depends on guest numbers, location, how many hours you need and whether you want dry hire or a fully managed package. Send your date, venue and guest count on WhatsApp to 07958 444056 and we'll send a quote quickly.

Which areas do you cover?

We're based in Grays, Essex and cover all of Essex, East London and Kent, including Basildon, Southend, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester, Romford, Ilford, Stratford, Canary Wharf, Dartford, Gravesend, Medway and Maidstone.

How many headphones do I need?

Not every guest dances at once, so you rarely need one set per person. Tell us your guest count and the type of event and we'll recommend the right number.

Does a silent disco get round a venue noise curfew?

Yes. With no speakers, no amplified music leaks out, so you can keep dancing after a venue's music curfew. Always check with your venue first.

Can my DJ play through the silent disco?

Yes. Your DJ plugs straight into our transmitter and plays into every headset. No DJ? Plug in a phone or laptop, or we'll run a party playlist for you.

Is it actually silent?

Not even close! The music is in the headphones, but you'll hear everyone singing along, laughing and shouting the lyrics. That's half the fun.

Are the headphones clean?

Yes. Every headset is cleaned and sanitised after each event, then charged and tested before it goes out again.

Can I add a photo booth, sweet cart or crisp wall?

Yes. We're partnered with Hire Essex, so you can add photo booths, selfie pods, sweet carts, crisp walls, shimmer walls, balloon arches and welcome signs, all booked in one go.

How far in advance should I book?

Weekends in spring, summer and December get booked up fast. Message us as soon as you have a date and we'll hold it.

When should the silent disco start at a wedding?

Most couples start it when the venue's amplified music curfew starts, often between 11pm and midnight. Some start earlier to give guests a taste of it during the evening reception.

Can our wedding DJ use the silent disco?

Yes. Your DJ plugs straight into our transmitter and plays directly into every set of headphones.

Do you work at wedding venues in Kent and East London?

Yes. We're based in Grays, close to the Dartford Crossing, so we regularly cover weddings across Essex, East London and Kent.

Can I have a silent disco in my garden?

Yes. A silent disco is one of the best ways to have a late garden party, because the music is only in the headphones.

Can I use my own playlist?

Absolutely. Plug a phone or laptop into the transmitter and your playlist goes to every headset.

Is a silent disco good for kids' parties?

Yes. Every headset has its own volume control, and children love the glowing lights.

Can you set up a silent disco in an office?

Yes. Because the music is only in the headphones, it works in offices and shared buildings where speakers wouldn't be allowed.

Do you cover Canary Wharf and the City?

Yes. We cover East London including Stratford and Canary Wharf, plus all of Essex and Kent.

Can you provide an invoice for a business booking?

Yes, we provide a full invoice for corporate bookings.

Are silent discos safe for children?

Yes. Each headset has its own volume control, and the kit is cleaned and checked after every event.

Can a school run a silent disco as a fundraiser?

Yes. PTAs often sell tickets for silent discos. Message us with your numbers for a quote.

Can a silent disco run outdoors?

Yes. Silent discos work brilliantly outdoors. Just let us know the space and expected crowd size.
