Events in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town surrounded by some of the best-known wine farms in the country, so weddings, launches and corporate functions here usually mean vineyard terraces, cellars and oak-lined lawns. Students at the university add graduations, society dinners and birthday parties, while Technopark and Die Boord host company events and conferences. Rain from May to August makes a roof or flooring important, and the summer south-easter calls for wind-rated tents. Venues often set strict rules on noise, caterers and access, and some limit guest numbers. Planners and hire companies are based in Stellenbosch, Techno Park and Somerset West and deliver to farms from Jonkershoek to Franschhoek.
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
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: working lunches, launch canapes and year-end buffets with staff and a bar
- Conferences, launches and expos: tea and coffee on arrival, a plated or buffet lunch and snack breaks across the day
- Festivals, markets and sports days: food stalls, a main caterer and a hot meal for the crew at a market or concert
- Birthdays and private parties: a braai, finger food or a sit-down dinner at home, a hall or a restaurant
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: funeral, unveiling and church meals served in large pots to a big crowd
