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 event equipment hire requests in the area come from:
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: bar counters, glassware and heaters for year-end functions and client dinners
- Conferences, launches and expos: urns, crockery and trolleys for tea breaks and lunch, plus a generator as backup
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: crockery, glassware, linen, a dance floor, heaters and a generator for a farm venue
- Birthdays and private parties: glasses, cutlery, a bar and heaters for a home party under a tent
- Festivals, markets and sports days: generators, bars, fridges, heaters and lighting for markets and concerts
- School events and matric dances: crockery for prize-givings, dance floors for matric dances and generators for fun days
- Kids' parties and baby showers: child-size plates and cups, cooler boxes and tables for a party lunch
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: large pots, urns, crockery and trestles for funerals, unveilings and church functions
