Events in Worcester
Worcester sits in the Breede River valley, ringed by mountains and surrounded by vineyards, orchards and packhouses. Farm weddings are popular on wine and fruit farms around Rawsonville, Robertson and Wolseley, often in barns, orchards and gardens where tents add shelter and a dance floor. Packhouse and cooperative companies host harvest events and year-end functions, and schools, churches and community halls in Zwelethemba and Avian Park hold matric dances, funerals and family celebrations. Summers are very hot and dry, and winter nights are cold with rain, so shade and heaters are common requests. Planners and hire companies work from Worcester and larger suppliers come from Paarl and Cape Town.
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
- School events and matric dances: prize-giving teas, matric dance dinners and fun day food stalls for a school hall
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: working lunches, launch canapes and year-end buffets with staff and a bar
- Birthdays and private parties: a braai, finger food or a sit-down dinner at home, a hall or a restaurant
