Events in Sandton

Sandton is the corporate heart of Johannesburg, with the Sandton Convention Centre, large hotels and office towers hosting conferences, award evenings, product launches and year-end functions. Private homes and estates in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside hold large garden weddings, milestone birthdays and charity dinners, often with stretch tents and lighting. Demand for sound, screens and staging is high, and planners usually book months ahead for November and December. Luxury hire items such as lounge furniture and decor are popular here. Many planners and hire companies are based close by in Wynberg and Rivonia. Highveld summer storms mean outdoor functions need a firm wet-weather plan.

Typical event management requests in the area come from:

• Conferences, launches and expos: registration, a plenary room with AV and screens, breakaway rooms and catering breaks
• Corporate functions and year-end parties: a year-end function or launch with branding, a stage, sound, catering and a bar
• 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
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a funeral, unveiling or cultural ceremony with tents, chairs, catering and toilets for a crowd
• Kids' parties and baby showers: a jumping castle, party decor, a dessert table and snacks for the children and adults

• Event type, date and start and end times
• Number of guests, seated or standing
