Events in Pretoria

Pretoria hosts government functions, university graduations, embassy events and plenty of family weddings. Garden venues in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Faerie Glen suit smaller ceremonies, while wine and country estates to the east and north draw larger bookings. October is jacaranda season, when outdoor photographs and spring weddings are in high demand. Many companies hold conferences and workshops at hotels and lodges around Hatfield and Centurion, and churches and halls in Mamelodi and Soshanguve host big community celebrations. Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms, so tents and covered stages are popular. Planners and hire companies work from Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and cover the whole of Tshwane.

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
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a funeral, unveiling or cultural ceremony with tents, chairs, catering and toilets for a crowd
• School events and matric dances: a matric dance or fun day with decor, sound, stages, toilets and security
• Birthdays and private parties: a 21st, 40th or anniversary at home or a venue with a stretch tent, decor and a bar
• Kids' parties and baby showers: a jumping castle, party decor, a dessert table and snacks for the children and adults
