The DJ team handed out headphones to every guest with instructions on how to switch between stations. There were three DJs from on stage when we walked in, and now it all made sense! We had a silent party with everyone choosing the stations that suited them best, switching back and forth all night. It was a lot of fun to watch it all go down! At one point I took off my headphones to listen to everyone singing along to their respective songs. Everyone was partying and dancing to the beat of their own drum, and it was great to see the dance floor so packed!<\/p> <div class=\"post-images\"><a
