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 hire prices requests in the area come from:

• Corporate functions and year-end parties: a year-end function or launch with a tent or venue, catering, sound and staging
• Conferences, launches and expos: AV, screens, furniture and catering for a day of sessions and breakaways
• Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a tent, tables, decor, catering and sound for 80 to 200 guests, often the biggest budget
• Birthdays and private parties: a lawn party with a tent, tables, a DJ and a braai or buffet
• Festivals, markets and sports days: stages, sound, toilets, security and food stalls priced per day for a public event
• School events and matric dances: stage, sound, chairs and toilets for a fun day, prize-giving or matric dance
• Kids' parties and baby showers: a jumping castle, tables, decor and party food, priced per item rather than per guest
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a tent, chairs, catering and toilets for a funeral or unveiling with a large crowd
