Events in Pretoria

Pretoria hosts government functions, university graduations, embassy events and plenty of family weddings. Garden venues in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Faerie Glen suit smaller ceremonies, while wine and country estates to the east and north draw larger bookings. October is jacaranda season, when outdoor photographs and spring weddings are in high demand. Many companies hold conferences and workshops at hotels and lodges around Hatfield and Centurion, and churches and halls in Mamelodi and Soshanguve host big community celebrations. Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms, so tents and covered stages are popular. Planners and hire companies work from Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and cover the whole of Tshwane.

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
• Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
• 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
• Kids' parties and baby showers: a guard at the entrance and the car park of a large kids' party in a park or at a venue
