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 management requests in the area come from:

• Corporate functions and year-end parties: a year-end function or launch with branding, a stage, sound, catering and a bar
• Conferences, launches and expos: registration, a plenary room with AV and screens, breakaway rooms and catering breaks
• Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a planner or coordinator, a tent or venue, decor, catering, a DJ and a photo booth
• 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
• School events and matric dances: a matric dance or fun day with decor, sound, stages, toilets and security
• Kids' parties and baby showers: a jumping castle, party decor, a dessert table and snacks for the children and adults
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a funeral, unveiling or cultural ceremony with tents, chairs, catering and toilets for a crowd

Local tips for Gauteng

Most suppliers for Gauteng work from here: planners and hire companies across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand and the East Rand. What people book most: year-end functions, garden and lodge weddings, conferences. When you ask for quotes, ask whether late-evening collection costs extra.

Event Management usually suits weddings, functions, conferences, parties, at a scale of 30 to 2,000 guests. A quote normally covers planning, suppliers, run sheet, on-site crew, and setup the day before or the morning of the event. Locally: summer afternoon thunderstorms: ask for a waterproof marquee and a wet-weather plan.

What to include in your request

• Event type, date and start and end times
• Number of guests, seated or standing
• Venue, or the area if you still need one
• What the company should handle: everything, or which parts
• Your budget range and any must-haves

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
