Events in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town surrounded by some of the best-known wine farms in the country, so weddings, launches and corporate functions here usually mean vineyard terraces, cellars and oak-lined lawns. Students at the university add graduations, society dinners and birthday parties, while Technopark and Die Boord host company events and conferences. Rain from May to August makes a roof or flooring important, and the summer south-easter calls for wind-rated tents. Venues often set strict rules on noise, caterers and access, and some limit guest numbers. Planners and hire companies are based in Stellenbosch, Techno Park and Somerset West and deliver to farms from Jonkershoek to Franschhoek.
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
- Conferences, launches and expos: a planner who sets the programme, speakers' travel and room layouts for a one or two day meeting
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a small market or fun run where the planner sorts out layout, stallholders and supplier access
- Birthdays and private parties: a milestone party with a venue, theme, food, music and a cake moment planned to the minute
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: an unveiling, church event or cultural celebration with seating, food, toilets and parking organised
- School events and matric dances: a committee's matric dance or fun day planned to a fixed budget with volunteers and suppliers
