Events in North West
North West events range from lodge and bush weddings around Hartbeespoort, Brits and the Magaliesberg to corporate functions for the mining houses in Rustenburg and Klerksdorp. Potchefstroom's university adds graduations, student functions and conferences, while farm towns host weddings, church events, funerals and traditional ceremonies in gardens, halls and open land. The province is hot and dry for much of the year, with summer storms and cold winter nights, so shade, water and power are worth planning early. Venues can be far apart. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Rustenburg, Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp and Brits, and travel to farms and rural venues.
Typical event planners requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a planner who builds the budget, books suppliers and keeps the timeline for the couple and both families
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a planner who handles a year-end function or client evening from venue to the final invoice
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: an unveiling, church event or cultural celebration with seating, food, toilets and parking organised
- Conferences, launches and expos: a planner who sets the programme, speakers' travel and room layouts for a one or two day meeting
- School events and matric dances: a committee's matric dance or fun day planned to a fixed budget with volunteers and suppliers
- Birthdays and private parties: a milestone party with a venue, theme, food, music and a cake moment planned to the minute
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a small market or fun run where the planner sorts out layout, stallholders and supplier access
