Events in Pinetown
Pinetown and the hills of Kloof, Hillcrest and Waterfall are known for garden weddings, country-style venues and church and school functions. Many venues sit on sloping lawns, so tent floors, staging and tables often need levelling or decking, and delivery trucks need to manage narrow, steep access roads. Community halls in Pinetown, KwaDabeka and Clermont host traditional ceremonies, funerals and birthday parties, while the New Germany and Westmead business parks book corporate functions and team days. Humid summer afternoons end in thunderstorms, so a covered area beats an open lawn. Planners and hire companies operate from New Germany, Westmead and Mariannhill and serve the whole valley.
Typical catering services requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a plated or buffet dinner, canapes at the cocktail hour and a cake table for 80 to 200 guests
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: funeral, unveiling and church meals served in large pots to a big crowd
- Birthdays and private parties: a braai, finger food or a sit-down dinner at home, a hall or a restaurant
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: working lunches, launch canapes and year-end buffets with staff and a bar
- School events and matric dances: prize-giving teas, matric dance dinners and fun day food stalls for a school hall
- Kids' parties and baby showers: party food, cupcakes and snack boxes for the children and a light meal for the adults
