Live Music Client Success Stories

  • How many headphones do we need for our wedding?
    We recommend 75-80% of your guest count. Not everyone dances at once, and some guests prefer to mingle. For 150 guests, 100-120 headphones is perfect. We always bring extras and can scale up if needed.
  • How do silent disco headphones work at a wedding?
    Each guest receives wireless LED headphones with a switch to choose between 2-3 different music channels. The LED colors change based on the channel selected, creating a visual light show. Range extends 500+ feet, covering your entire venue.
  • What happens when venue noise restrictions kick in?
    We seamlessly transition from traditional speakers to silent disco mode. Setup happens during dinner, so there's no interruption. When your venue's cutoff time arrives, guests simply put on headphones and keep dancing; the party never has to stop.
