Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you’re wondering about silent disco in Chicago—answered short and straight.
What is silent disco?
Every guest wears wireless headphones streaming three channels of DJ-mixed music. They pick their channel, control their volume, and dance—no speakers, no noise limits, any space.
Is silent disco good for kids?
One of the best kids’ party ideas we know—and we’ve run children’s events for 20+ years. A hit with dancers, non-dancers, and sensory-sensitive kids alike.
How many people can participate?
As many as you’ve got. Headphones come in blocks of 50, from backyard birthdays to school-wide events with hundreds of dancers.
How long should our event run?
Most groups dance for one hour—it’s the sweet spot for energy and attention. Bigger events usually rotate: a 400-student field day might run five one-hour groups of 80.
Does it work outdoors?
Absolutely. Fields, playgrounds, backyards, rooftops—the music lives in the headphones, so wind can’t blow it away and neighbors never hear a thing.
How much space do we need?
A clear open area about the size of a classroom is usually plenty. Bigger spaces work great, but a large setup isn’t required.
What music do you play?
Radio-clean, DJ-mixed playlists across three channels: Kids & Family, Throwbacks, and High Energy. Details on our music page.
Can you play our song requests?
Send must-play songs in advance and we’ll work them into the mix. Chances are good your guests’ favorites are already on our playlists.
Is silent disco sensory-friendly?
Yes—by design. Every guest controls their own volume, and headphones come off anytime, so kids join the party on their own terms.
What does it cost?
$399 for weekend kids’ birthday parties (ages 17 & under, up to 30 headphones, one hour). $499 for everything else, with 50 headphones included. Full details and worked examples on pricing.
What’s included?
Everything: a friendly, background-checked host, delivery, setup, teardown, the headphones, and the music. You bring the guests.
What areas do you serve?
Chicago and everywhere within 50 miles—travel included within 25. Full list on service area.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured and happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance for your school, camp, or venue.
