Events in Cape Town

Cape Town hosts events on a scale few South African cities match: weddings on wine farms in Constantia and Durbanville, beach and mountain venues along the Atlantic seaboard, conferences at the CTICC in the city bowl, and large festivals and concerts across the metro. The wind is the main planning issue. The summer south-easter can flatten loose decor and test every tent, while winter brings cold rain and the occasional cold front, so many venues want a roof or a wet-weather backup. Corporate year-end functions fill December. Planners and hire companies cluster in Montague Gardens, Epping, Paarden Eiland and Century City and deliver across the peninsula and to the winelands.

Frequently asked questions

What does decor hire cost in Cape Town?
It depends on the date, guest numbers, the venue and what is included. As a rough guide: R80 to R400 per guest, or R300 to R1,500 per table. Send your brief and a decor hire company serving Cape Town will quote you.
How far ahead should I book in Cape Town?
For decor hire: 3 to 6 months ahead, longer for December. Locally: book 6 to 12 months ahead for summer Saturdays, 3 to 6 for other dates. Saturdays in spring, the matric dance season and December book out first, so send your brief as soon as you have a date.
Do hire companies in Cape Town deliver and set up?
Most quote delivery, setup and collection as part of the hire, with travel charged by distance from their depot. Say whether the venue has truck access, power and a flat surface. For a planner to coordinate everything, see event management in Cape Town.
Do you run the event yourselves?
No. We don't plan, hire out or cater anything. We pass your brief to independent event companies, planners, hire companies and caterers, who quote you directly. Give the date, guest numbers and venue so the quotes are easy to compare.
