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 security requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: two guards at the gate and the grounds to watch the gifts, the cars and gatecrashers
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: access control at a launch or year-end function, with a guard on the bar and the parking
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
- Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
- School events and matric dances: gate control and parking marshals for a fun day, a prize-giving or a matric dance
- Birthdays and private parties: a guard at the gate of a house or farm party to keep it to the guest list
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a full team for gates, bag checks, crowd control and the stage, working to a written safety plan
