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 security requests in the area come from:

• Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
• Corporate functions and year-end parties: access control at a launch or year-end function, with a guard on the bar and the parking
• Weddings and traditional ceremonies: two guards at the gate and the grounds to watch the gifts, the cars and gatecrashers
• 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
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
• 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

Local tips for Sandton

Most suppliers for Sandton work from here: planners and hire companies in Wynberg, Rivonia and the northern suburbs.

A quote normally covers guards, uniforms, radios, a supervisor, and guards arrive 1 to 2 hours before guests. Locally: summer storms: ask for a rated tent, drainage and a covered back-up area.

• Event date, start and end times and set-up hours
• Number of guests and whether alcohol is served
