Events in East London
East London pairs beachfront and river venues with a strong corporate and manufacturing base. Weddings happen on the lawns of Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Nahoon, at guest houses near the Buffalo River mouth and in garden venues inland, while the Orient Beach area and the city centre host conferences, school events and public festivals. Mdantsane has one of the largest township communities in the Eastern Cape, with traditional weddings, umembeso, funerals and unveilings that call for large tents and hundreds of chairs. Summers are warm and humid with sea breezes and storms. Planners and hire companies work from Vincent, Cambridge and Beacon Bay and cover Bhisho, Qonce and Gonubie.
Typical decor hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a ceremony arch, table centrepieces, candles and a draped head table
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: simple white draping, flowers and candles for unveilings and memorial teas
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: branded colour themes, stage backdrops and centrepieces for gala dinners
- Conferences, launches and expos: stage dressing, registration desk styling and simple table arrangements
- School events and matric dances: matric dance themes, stage dressing and entrance features
- Birthdays and private parties: a theme-matched table, backdrop and statement piece for a 21st or 50th
- Festivals, markets and sports days: hanging installations, flags and lounge areas to make a market feel finished
