Events in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga is known for bush and escarpment venues, from game lodges near Hazyview and the Kruger Park to garden venues around White River, Sabie and Graskop. Weddings, corporate retreats and team building are the main bookings, with conferences in Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, and community events, funerals and church gatherings in towns across the province. Lowveld summers are hot, humid and stormy, while Highveld winter nights are cold, so heating and shade both matter. Many lodges are remote, which affects delivery and setup time. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, and travel to lodges and farms.
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
- Conferences, launches and expos: registration, a plenary room with AV and screens, breakaway rooms and catering breaks
