Events in Free State
The Free State offers wide open country for events, from farm and guest-farm weddings and sandstone-hill venues around Clarens, Bethlehem and Harrismith to hotels and conference venues in Bloemfontein. The city also hosts graduations, school functions, matric dances and church gatherings, while Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg book corporate functions, community days and birthdays. Summers are hot with sharp thunderstorms and winters bring frost and very cold nights, so tent heating and wind security are worth asking about. Many farm venues lie far from town. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg, and travel to farms and eastern towns.
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
- School events and matric dances: stage lights for the matric dance, prize-giving or school play, plus a screen for photos
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: hall lighting, a projector for a memorial slideshow or service, and outdoor lights for evening events
- Conferences, launches and expos: an LED wall or projector for slides, speaker monitors, stage lighting and a vision mixer
- Birthdays and private parties: festoon lights, colour wash and a small dance floor light for a 21st or 40th
- Festivals, markets and sports days: stage lighting, a large LED wall and area lighting for pathways, bars and parking

A quote normally covers fixtures, cables, control desk, operator, and rigged the day before or 4 to 6 hours before. Locally: frosty winter nights and hot summers with storms: ask about heating and wind-secured tents.
