Events in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape spans coastal events in Gqeberha, East London, Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred to inland Karoo farms, Makhanda's festival calendar and the rural heartland around Mthatha. Weddings are held on beaches, farms and in gardens, and traditional ceremonies, funerals and large community gatherings take place at family homesteads and halls. Gqeberha and East London book corporate functions, conferences and school events, and Makhanda hosts its national arts festival each winter. The coast is windy, humid and changeable, while the Karoo is hot by day and cold at night. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha.

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
- Festivals, markets and sports days: hanging installations, flags and lounge areas to make a market feel finished
- School events and matric dances: matric dance themes, stage dressing and entrance features
- Conferences, launches and expos: stage dressing, registration desk styling and simple table arrangements
- Birthdays and private parties: a theme-matched table, backdrop and statement piece for a 21st or 50th
