Events in Western Cape
The Western Cape is the country's wedding and function capital, with wine farms around Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, mountain and ocean venues in Cape Town, and Garden Route spots from George to Knysna. Corporate events and conferences use the CTICC and hotels in the city, and the province also hosts festivals, school functions, birthdays and community days. Summers are dry and warm but the south-easter can be fierce, so wind-rated tents matter, and winters bring cold rain. Popular venues book out fast. Planners and hire companies work from Cape Town's northern suburbs, the Winelands and the Garden Route.
Typical event equipment hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: crockery, glassware, linen, a dance floor, heaters and a generator for a farm venue
- 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
- Festivals, markets and sports days: generators, bars, fridges, heaters and lighting for markets and concerts
- Birthdays and private parties: glasses, cutlery, a bar and heaters for a home party under a tent
- School events and matric dances: crockery for prize-givings, dance floors for matric dances and generators for fun days
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: large pots, urns, crockery and trestles for funerals, unveilings and church functions
- Kids' parties and baby showers: child-size plates and cups, cooler boxes and tables for a party lunch
