We were loud, the party was shut down. We were loud, we had to end the party. Is this also correct? If it is, how did I correct the shift in voice.

Incorrect shift in voice: The flowers were picked by me and then they were arranged beautifully in a vase.

Corrected shift: I picked the flowers and arranged them beautifully in a vase.

Yes, you are correct. Your corrected shift in voice is accurate.

Yes, your corrected shift in voice is also correct.

Yes, your corrected sentence is grammatically correct. You corrected the shift in voice by keeping the subject of both clauses the same, in this case, "we." In the first sentence, the voice is passive as "the party was shut down," which removes the doer of the action. In the second sentence, you make the voice active and include the doer of the action, "we had to end the party."
