About The Equipment

What happens if one of our guests breaks a headphone or one gets stolen?

Good question. In our agreement with you it stipulates that if there are any headphone breakages or missing than there will be an additional charge of $50/headphone.
The truth is this can happen, however we rarely get headphones broken if we are running the event and extremely rarely do any headphones go missing. We actually take many measures to avoid this, such as:
~ We provide you with signs warning people that our headphones can only be used with our equipment and to please return after use.
~ We provide signs for the headphone stand “Headphones Pick up and return here”
~ We man the headphone stand either at the one entrance/exit of the room to ensure one headphone per person on entry into the room and one headphone per person is collected on exiting the room.
~ If the event is in an open area or bear garden or park etc and there are no barriers than we run a registration table where we collect guests details and scan their ID’s on our proprietary software on our tablets.

 

What if it rains?

Our headphones are electrical. A little bit of drissel is fine but if it is enough to soak your hair and drip down your face then it will damage our equipment so stop dancing outside and find somewhere undercover to continue. What ever happens you must keep the Transmitters dry.

 

Are all your equipment tested and tagged?

Yes all of Party Higher’s Equipment is tested and tagged. We have done events for almost every council and for Crown Casino and Victorian Racing so have to have everything checked and tagged for safe usage.

Where Do We Party?

Can we have a party in our house?

Yes, absolutely. One of the best things about Silent Disco is that you can party all night without disturbing the neighbours. “Please still tell your neighbours via a letter drop or quick knock on the door but let them know you are being environmentally conscious and having a Silent Disco – So no blaring music only laughter and fun. Our specially designed transmitters will work throughout the whole house in each room, upstairs, downstairs or even in your front yard and back yard.
You won’t have to wire up the house with speakers – Yeah

Can we have an event in an open area such as the beach or park?

Yes you can. Party Higher is the only company in the world that has developed registration software to enable you to have events in open areas. With our specially designed Transmitters we are able to provide coverage for up to 500m. (Ideal conditions)

About Our Music

Do you Supply the Music?
