Silent disco franchise in South Africa
Our silent disco franchise is for people and companies who want to run silent disco hire in their own city, with Silentsystem kit, the Silent Disco brand and our know-how behind them. We are looking for local partners across South Africa.
Why open a silent disco business
Weddings on wine farms, matric farewells, 21sts, year-end functions, rooftop nights, festivals: South Africa has no shortage of reasons to dance. Many of those occasions happen where amplified music is limited or unwelcome, and that is exactly where a silent disco works best.
As a partner you offer silent disco hire in your area with your own kit, close to your clients and able to react quickly. You do not start from zero: you work with the technology, the brand and the experience Silentsystem has built since 2012.
A partner with real experience
Since 2012
Among the pioneers of silent disco in Europe, with more than 1,200 events a year and over 10,000 clients.
Our own technology
Headphones and transmitters from in-house R&D, protected by patents and trademarks such as Super Power Bass® and SILENTDISCO®.
Tested equipment
Every headphone is quality-checked; three channels, LED colours and up to 10 hours of battery are standard.
Made for local conditions
Battery headphones and the battery-powered TX-330 transmitter keep the party going through load shedding.

Silent disco franchise: your questions
Do I need experience in events?
It helps, but it is not essential. The training covers both the equipment and the day-to-day running of a silent disco hire business.
Do I buy the equipment or rent it?
You own your kit: headphones, transmitters and chargers are bought from Silentsystem at partner conditions.
What does it cost to become a partner?
It depends on the size of the kit and on your plans. We explain the partner conditions in detail after the introductory call.
Will I receive enquiries from the website?
Yes: enquiries from your area that reach silent-disco.co.za are passed on to you.
What support do I get once I have started?
Technical support and spare parts from Europe, marketing material and a team that has worked on silent disco events since 2012.
