Events in Richards Bay
Richards Bay, Empangeni and the Zululand coast mix port-town corporate life with lagoon, bush and beach venues. Companies in the harbour and industrial areas book conferences, year-end functions and long-service awards, usually in hotels and lodges around Meerensee and Arboretum. Weddings, umembeso and traditional ceremonies lean towards community halls, church grounds and large tents in Esikhaleni, eNseleni and Empangeni, where guest lists can pass 300. Summers are hot, humid and wet, and salty sea air is hard on fabric and decor, so shade and ventilation are priorities. Planners and hire companies are based in Richards Bay and Empangeni and cover Mtunzini and Felixton on request.
Typical event hire prices requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a tent, tables, decor, catering and sound for 80 to 200 guests, often the biggest budget
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a year-end function or launch with a tent or venue, catering, sound and staging
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a tent, chairs, catering and toilets for a funeral or unveiling with a large crowd
- Conferences, launches and expos: AV, screens, furniture and catering for a day of sessions and breakaways
- Birthdays and private parties: a lawn party with a tent, tables, a DJ and a braai or buffet
