Music is an amazing tool for bringing people together in a shared experience of enjoyment, fun and excitement.
Unfortunately it is also one of the most polarizing forms of entertainment.
You can find music lovers from every background and every walk of life, but their tastes vary widely and often differ so much that two people who truly love music simply cannot stand each other’s style choices.
So if you have a group of friends or coworkers who all love different types of music, is it possible for them all to have a great time at the same party? Can they overcome their differences and all enjoy dancing to one DJ’s offerings?
Maybe not. But. What if there was an alternative? A way for everyone to hear exactly the kind of music they like?
For your next musical event, whether for work, a birthday or a wedding, consider renting special sound equipment for a silent disco party. Silent disco events are the perfect solution when groups with diverse musical tastes want to be able to enjoy a party together.
Your Silent Disco Party: Fun Is the Objective
The silent disco is a relatively new type of party that is taking the event planning industry by storm. Party planners rent transmitters on which they play different types of music, and headphones for all the guests. The headphones can be adjusted between different frequencies, allowing guests to choose which genre of music they prefer.
Rent High Quality Equipment
A successful silent disco event begins with equipment that works, so choose a reputable dealer who rents out high quality transmitters and headphones. Poor transmission or low battery life really kills the vibe so don’t take a chance on some random items from Amazon.
Hire Cool DJs
Once you have selected your silent disco equipment, you will need to make your music selection. Hiring DJs who are familiar with silent disco equipment is a great way to make sure your silent disco party will be a total success, as they will be able to make sure all the technical aspects of the party are handled well.
Set the Mood With Lighting
The first few minutes of a silent disco party are the hardest, as everyone puts on their silent disco headphones and figures out how to use them. Starting to dance can seem like a weird experience too, as at first partygoers are conscious that their neighbors are hearing different music… and those who aren’t wearing silent disco headphones aren’t hearing any music at all.
This is why lighting choices are an important part of the silent disco experience.
While your guests are choosing their headphones and selecting their frequency, you may want to have plenty of light; but dimming the lights and adding some gentle effects can really set the tone, making listeners feel less self conscious about their enjoyment of their chosen tunes.
A silent party might sound strange and awkward, but in reality those who participate report that it is an amazing experience to hear their favorite music non-stop while their friends with different tastes are equally pleased.
Silent Disco Headphones: The Advantages of Listening Alone Together
So if half of your friends enjoy hip hop and the other half love classic rock, that doesn’t mean you need to host two parties… or create an eclectic mix to torture all your pals with music they hate in order to make sure everyone gets to hear some of the music they like.
Instead with a silent party you can have two or more separate playlists, providing music that everyone will enjoy. The headphones become a little personal sanctuary as each person enjoys just what they love to hear.
Light up your Friday night with an amazing silent disco party and let the wonders of technology bring your friends together despite their differences.
