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 DJ hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a DJ and MC for the entrance, speeches, first dance and a full dance floor until the last song
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church functions, unveilings and cultural parties with the right music and no clashes with the programme
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: background music at a cocktail hour, then a dance floor for the year-end function
