Events in Gauteng
Gauteng is the busiest events market in the country, from corporate functions and conferences at convention centres in Sandton, Midrand and Johannesburg to weddings at garden venues and lodges around the Cradle of Humankind, Magaliesburg and Pretoria East. Families hold birthdays, kids' parties and traditional ceremonies in home gardens, community halls and church grounds across Soweto, Tembisa and the East Rand, while schools book matric dances and fun days. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms, so many hosts plan a marquee or stretch tent as cover. Winters are dry and cold at night. Most planners and hire companies work from Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand.
Typical DJ hire requests in the area come from:
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: background music at a cocktail hour, then a dance floor for the year-end function
- Conferences, launches and expos: walk-in music, entrance sound and a DJ for the gala dinner afterwards
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a DJ and MC for the entrance, speeches, first dance and a full dance floor until the last song
- Birthdays and private parties: a 21st, 40th or home party playlist with a DJ who reads the crowd and takes requests
- Festivals, markets and sports days: sets between bands, afternoon music at markets or a DJ stage at a community event
- School events and matric dances: a matric dance or fun day DJ who follows school rules on music, hours and content
- Kids' parties and baby showers: a kids' party DJ with games, a dance competition and age-appropriate music
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church functions, unveilings and cultural parties with the right music and no clashes with the programme
