Silent disco Hermanus: music for your guests, peace for Walker Bay
A silent disco in Hermanus keeps a celebration lively in a town that values its quiet, from the cliff path to the vineyards of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
Hermanus is famous for the southern right whales that come into Walker Bay in winter and spring, and for a calm that draws retirees, families and weekend visitors from Cape Town. Houses line the cliffs and the bay, and the sound of a speaker carries far over the water. On headphones your guests dance to full-volume music while the town keeps listening to the sea.
Silentsystem supplies more than 1,200 events a year in Europe and has been the technical partner of Rockin'1000 since 2015. For Hermanus, the kit leaves our European warehouses by express and is delivered one or two days before the event; you bring the DJ or the playlist. Planning a celebration at home?

Where to host a silent disco in Hermanus
Vineyards, beaches and clifftop views: Walker Bay has a setting for every kind of celebration.
Wine estates in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
The valley's estates, known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, host weddings and long lunches among the vines. When the tasting room has to turn the music off, the party can continue on headphones.
Beaches and the bay
Grotto Beach, Voëlklip and Onrus offer wide sand and late summer light. A battery transmitter makes a sundowner dance possible where there is no power and where an event is allowed.
Clifftop restaurants and guesthouses
Venues near the Old Harbour and along the cliff path overlook the bay. Headphones let a private function stay intimate without filling the street with sound.
Country venues towards Stanford
Farm venues and barns between Hermanus, Stanford and Gansbaai are popular for relaxed weddings. Three channels let the older guests, the dancers and the late-night crowd each choose their sound.
Silent party in Hermanus: which events
Weddings between vines and sea
Couples marry in the valley and dance within sight of the ocean. A silent disco wedding keeps the reception going after the estate's music cut-off.
Corporate getaways
Hermanus is an easy drive from Cape Town for team retreats and strategy weekends. A headphone party is a light, inclusive way to close the day.
Holiday and festive parties
In December the town fills with families and friends in holiday homes. A silent party lets a group see in the New Year without upsetting the neighbours.
