Events in Free State
The Free State offers wide open country for events, from farm and guest-farm weddings and sandstone-hill venues around Clarens, Bethlehem and Harrismith to hotels and conference venues in Bloemfontein. The city also hosts graduations, school functions, matric dances and church gatherings, while Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg book corporate functions, community days and birthdays. Summers are hot with sharp thunderstorms and winters bring frost and very cold nights, so tent heating and wind security are worth asking about. Many farm venues lie far from town. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg, and travel to farms and eastern towns.
Typical event management requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a planner or coordinator, a tent or venue, decor, catering, a DJ and a photo booth
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a year-end function or launch with branding, a stage, sound, catering and a bar
- School events and matric dances: a matric dance or fun day with decor, sound, stages, toilets and security
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a funeral, unveiling or cultural ceremony with tents, chairs, catering and toilets for a crowd
- Conferences, launches and expos: registration, a plenary room with AV and screens, breakaway rooms and catering breaks
- Birthdays and private parties: a 21st, 40th or anniversary at home or a venue with a stretch tent, decor and a bar
- Festivals, markets and sports days: stages, sound, toilets, security, permits and traffic plans for a public event

A quote normally covers planning, suppliers, run sheet, on-site crew, and setup the day before or the morning of the event. Locally: frosty winter nights and hot summers with storms: ask about heating and wind-secured tents.
