By admin|2020-07-30T16:48:36-04:00July 30th, 2020|2019, Press|

As Silent Discos continue to grow in popularity across the world, there you’ll also start seeing them being featured in movies and TV shows. What makes this so great for TV is that you can hear the leads perfectly.

What you may not know is that during a regular TV show when you see people dancing, they really are dancing to no music. This way the microphone can pick up the people talking.

Grown-ish Season 2, Episode 19 features a silent disco at a college door party for this reason.

Silent Disco Dancing on Date Night

By admin|2020-07-30T16:28:33-04:00July 30th, 2020|2019, Press|

Where would you like to go on a first date? Somewhere casual, fancy, has drinks, has food? Somewhere romantic, somewhere expensive, or some cheap hole in the wall joint? Trying to plan a first date, or even a date night with your partner for years, can be nerve-racking. We happen to think that silent discos can make for a perfect first date. We might be a bit bias though, so don’t just take it from us. EmLovz has featured Quiet Events as one of the 50 Best Date ideas to do in NYC!

Why is a silent disco party the perfect date idea?

Social: Unlike taking a date to a loud bar or club where the music is blaring and you can barely hear what the other person is saying, at a silent disco party all you need to do is take your headphones off to have a normal conversation.

Conversation starter: For those awkward moments when there doesn’t seem to be anything to talk about, just put on the headphones and comment on the music or the other people singing out loud.

Choose what you like: Maybe you don’t like hip-hop, maybe your date wants to listen to 80’s & 90’s music. At a Quiet Events party you’ll both be happy since you’ll have a selection of music to listen to. There’s no compromising since you’ll have it all.

Pure fun: Quiet Event parties are hosted at fun bars and unique locations that are perfect for date nights regardless of your age. There’s drinking, dancing, singing, and laughing, with a safe and upbeat vibe to the entire party. That’s sure to put a smile on your date’s face and they’ll probably want to do it all again.

Price: You’ll never break the bank on this date night! Tickets are just $10 ($5 for early bird!) and go up to $30 for rooftop events. Our cruises are just a few shillings more.

Be sure to take a look at the calendar of events for your next date night. We guarantee that if you have your first date at a Quiet Events silent disco it’ll be a date that you’ll never forget. We can’t guarantee that things will go without a hitch during your courtship, but even then, there are lots of singles at our events!

Silent Discos are Perfect for School Dances and Proms

By admin|2020-07-30T16:02:25-04:00July 30th, 2020|2019, Press|

Remember those awkward school dances where guys were on one side and girls were on the other? Or were you the “uncool” kid that stood on the sideline holding up the wall while others were dancing together on the dance floor?

April is here which undoubtedly means that prom season is right around the corner. While prom is still highly regarded amongst teens, schools are looking for ways to spruce up the centuries-old tradition. After all, to keep adolescents interested, one needs to keep up with the ever-changing times. With that, a silent disco is a great option for your prom or for the next school gathering. Let’s dive into a few of the reasons why this is the case.

Music selection is a huge component as to why so many people love silent discos. We all have different music tastes and silent discos allow guests to indulge in their favorites, simultaneously. Children included, have different music tastes but sometimes feel like they need to conform and listen to what their friends are listening to. Since a silent disco has 3 different channels to choose from, they can listen to what they want to and still be with their friends who may be listening to something else.

Silent discos have been known to reduce the normal awkwardness of school dances. With headphones on, listeners become fully immersed in the music and let loose a bit; they feel okay to dance, sing, and enjoy themselves. Those that would normally hold up a wall are more inclined to join in on the dance floor.

While many enjoy the party atmosphere created by blaring speakers, others prefer a scene where they can easily hold a conversation with their friends without the excess noise. Yet another reason why teachers and parents love to throw silent discos at their schools.

What makes a Quiet Events silent disco the best? We make the experience more than just a party; it’s like an interactive show. There’s more going on than just wearing headphones and listening to music. We pride ourselves on crowd engagement from our stellar DJ’s. It makes kids focus more on the show and worry less about bullying or shaming, as you might see at a normal dance.

Silent discos are great for school dances and proms because they create a safe and communal environment that everyone can enjoy. These events bring out all of the student body, from the socialites to the introverts and the athletes to the mathletes. Hopefully we can help create that experience for you [and your students].

Take a look at our rentals page for more information on how to make it all possible. Don’t forget to inquire about our 10% discount for schools and non-profits.

Keeping Canada Quiet from Quebec to BC

By admin|2020-07-30T16:06:22-04:00July 30th, 2020|2019, Press|

In February 2019, Quiet Events partnered with Reveal Events Group Ltd. in Vancouver, BC to open the 7^th Quiet Events’ office; the second in Canada.

When you think of headphones, you don’t typically think of conferences and raging nightlife parties, but that’s what Quiet Events has been doing for over 7 years.

These events are commonly called Silent Discos or Silent Parties. Now Western Canada can experience these headphone parties and silent conferences at a much lower cost than before.

Quiet Events will be showcasing on March 27th, 2019 at Canadian Special Events Live in Toronto Canada. It’s a perfect place for event planners to experience a dance party happening right in the middle of the trade show floor!

Over the next several months expect to see more Silent Disco parties, Silent Yoga, Silent Tours, and other Silent Events in Western Canada utilizing both the 3 channel and 10 channel systems powered by Quiet Events.

Silent Disco Technology Taken Up a Notch

By admin|2020-07-30T14:55:08-04:00July 30th, 2020|2019, Press|

Silent disco parties have regained momentum in recent years. Early on they were used at music festivals, but the trend has now surpassed the main stages. Today, they are being used for various types of events, some of which we’ve hosted. They’ve become popular for conferences, fitness classes and of course, wedding receptions. If you are thinking about arranging your own silent disco, here are a few pointers to help you on your way.

Headphones are Key

When it comes to arranging a silent disco you shouldn’t focus solely on costs. Your event doesn’t have to be extravagant to be successful, but there are aspects that you shouldn’t just try to save money on.

It goes without saying, headphones are a prerequisite for your overall enjoyment at a silent disco. Whether you go for over-the-ear style or your own in-ear headphones (with the use of a belt clip), it’s worth going for some that are on the higher end rather than inexpensive models. The more expensive headphones have usually passed through tests to help protect the consumer’s hearing.

The World Health Organization has warned that a billion teens and young adults are at risk of hearing loss due to loud music. That makes it even more important to look after your ears when attending musical events. Most festivals have large speakers blaring audio, with some being extremely close to the front row revelers. Alternatively, silent discos allow you to listen to music at your desired level with a volume control on the headset.

Lighting has quite an impact on the appeal and success of a silent disco. Luckily this doesn’t have to be complicated. A simple lighting set up on stage, using LED light, can be a good way of bringing people in. For example, we use colors that match our glowing headphones (blue, red and green) to bring it all together.

Additionally, handing out glow sticks can be a simple and very effective way of creating a party atmosphere. It gets the audience excited and adds another visual element to the nightlife scene.

Don’t Forget Wireless Transmitters

In order for people to hear music through their headphones, you will need a wireless transmitter. The transmitter sends audio signals out through radio frequency.

You should consider the size and materials (makeup) of the venue as these factors may impact wireless signals, which in turn can affect the overall enjoyment of the event.

Of course, Quiet Events has all the necessary equipment to ensure that your event is one to remember, for all the good reasons. Head over to our rentals page to check out the hardware!

Life Church Silent Disco

By admin|2020-07-30T14:33:25-04:00July 10th, 2020|2019, Press|

Largest Silent Disco in the World!

On February 13th 2019, Life.Church hosted the largest multi-location silent disco ever. Spanning 30 locations across 9 states, Quiet Events is proud to have helped by supplying 10,000 headphones & 90 transmitters for a night that won’t be forgotten!

During the night everyone turned to the red channel to sing “Symphony“, the debut EP from Switch.

Quiet Events was the only company that had the equipment and resources to take on an event like this. To help keep costs as low as possible, the team drove 3,000 miles round trip from New York City to Oklahoma City with 7,000 headphones while 3,000 other headphones were shipped to their designated locations.

This silent party was one of epic proportions with full lighting, stage, smoke, and three DJs keeping everyone dancing and singing. There was even a point in the night when everyone played the game “telephone”. One person on red listening to loud music, while the other one on blue was getting a phrase from the pastor. They then had to get their teammate to guess it outloud.

Quiet Events is proud to have been part of the largest multi-location silent disco ever and look forward to putting on even larger ones in the future.
