Events in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is the gateway to the Midlands Meander, so weddings here often mean country gardens, farm venues and lodges around Hilton, Howick and Karkloof. In town, Scottsville and Hayfields offer older halls, school grounds and church venues for matric dances, anniversaries and funerals, and the Royal Show grounds host large public events. Students from the university and colleges keep birthday and graduation parties busy through the year. Summers are warm with heavy afternoon storms, and winter nights turn cold, so heaters matter for evening events. Planners and hire companies are based in Willowton and Mkondeni and travel up the N3 into the Midlands.
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
- 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
- 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
