How much does silent disco hire cost in the UK? The headline number is £195, but what you actually pay depends on your guest count, event type and what’s bundled in. This guide breaks every package down.
Silent disco hire in the UK in 2026 starts at £195 for a hen-party kit of 20 headphones and runs up to £480 for a 75-headphone wedding Premium Plus package with VIP branded headsets. The price depends on three things: the number of headphones, what’s bundled with them (lights, music tablets, photo booths), and whether the event needs anything custom. This guide breaks each of those down so you can see exactly where your money goes.
A silent disco hire fee typically covers:
Everything above is included in the headline price. No surprise add-ons at checkout.

For weddings, corporate Christmas parties and conferences above 100 guests, we price custom. It’s usually more cost-effective than stacking two packages together and includes everything in the Corporate tier plus any add-ons you need (branding, VIP headphones, multiple transmitter zones).

For a straight comparison, a typical UK wedding DJ costs £400–£900 for a single-event evening set, and a 4-piece wedding band runs £1,400–£3,000. A silent disco at £280–£480 sits well below either, and still works where the venue has a sound curfew that a PA-based DJ couldn’t.

Yes, subject to stock availability — we hold over 5,000 headphones across our fleet, so availability is usually not an issue. Extra units are priced per headphone rather than as a whole new package, so topping up late-joining guests is typically cheaper than upgrading tier.
Yes — free tracked courier delivery is included on every package to any UK mainland address (England, Scotland and Wales). We do not currently deliver to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
No. The package price is the same whether your event is a Tuesday-afternoon school disco or a Saturday-night wedding. We don’t operate weekend surcharges, late-night fees or seasonal premiums.
