Events in Cape Town
Cape Town hosts events on a scale few South African cities match: weddings on wine farms in Constantia and Durbanville, beach and mountain venues along the Atlantic seaboard, conferences at the CTICC in the city bowl, and large festivals and concerts across the metro. The wind is the main planning issue. The summer south-easter can flatten loose decor and test every tent, while winter brings cold rain and the occasional cold front, so many venues want a roof or a wet-weather backup. Corporate year-end functions fill December. Planners and hire companies cluster in Montague Gardens, Epping, Paarden Eiland and Century City and deliver across the peninsula and to the winelands.
Typical lighting and LED screen hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: uplighters in your colours, festoon over the tables, pin spots on centrepieces and a lit dance floor
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: stage washes, a branded LED backdrop and a lighting operator for launches and awards dinners
- Conferences, launches and expos: an LED wall or projector for slides, speaker monitors, stage lighting and a vision mixer
- Festivals, markets and sports days: stage lighting, a large LED wall and area lighting for pathways, bars and parking
- Birthdays and private parties: festoon lights, colour wash and a small dance floor light for a 21st or 40th
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: hall lighting, a projector for a memorial slideshow or service, and outdoor lights for evening events
- School events and matric dances: stage lights for the matric dance, prize-giving or school play, plus a screen for photos
- Kids' parties and baby showers: coloured party lights for an evening party, or a projector for a movie night
