Events in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has an events scene built around the coast and the hills, with beach and estate weddings in Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast, hotel and conference events at the Durban ICC, and garden and country venues along the Midlands Meander near Howick and Hilton. Corporate functions, school events, traditional ceremonies, church gatherings and large community celebrations fill the calendar, and Durban hosts festivals and sporting events. Summers are hot and humid with heavy afternoon storms, and winters are mild and dry. Planners and hire companies work from Durban, Umhlanga, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands, and travel up and down the coast.
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
- 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
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church functions, unveilings and cultural parties with the right music and no clashes with the programme
- Festivals, markets and sports days: sets between bands, afternoon music at markets or a DJ stage at a community event
- Birthdays and private parties: a 21st, 40th or home party playlist with a DJ who reads the crowd and takes requests
- School events and matric dances: a matric dance or fun day DJ who follows school rules on music, hours and content
