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 planners requests in the area come from:

• Conferences, launches and expos: a planner who sets the programme, speakers' travel and room layouts for a one or two day meeting
• Corporate functions and year-end parties: a planner who handles a year-end function or client evening from venue to the final invoice
• Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a planner who builds the budget, books suppliers and keeps the timeline for the couple and both families
• 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
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: an unveiling, church event or cultural celebration with seating, food, toilets and parking organised
• Kids' parties and baby showers: a party plan with a venue, activities, food for children and adults, and a clear start and end time
