Events in Pinetown

Pinetown and the hills of Kloof, Hillcrest and Waterfall are known for garden weddings, country-style venues and church and school functions. Many venues sit on sloping lawns, so tent floors, staging and tables often need levelling or decking, and delivery trucks need to manage narrow, steep access roads. Community halls in Pinetown, KwaDabeka and Clermont host traditional ceremonies, funerals and birthday parties, while the New Germany and Westmead business parks book corporate functions and team days. Humid summer afternoons end in thunderstorms, so a covered area beats an open lawn. Planners and hire companies operate from New Germany, Westmead and Mariannhill and serve the whole valley.
