Events in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is the gateway to the Midlands Meander, so weddings here often mean country gardens, farm venues and lodges around Hilton, Howick and Karkloof. In town, Scottsville and Hayfields offer older halls, school grounds and church venues for matric dances, anniversaries and funerals, and the Royal Show grounds host large public events. Students from the university and colleges keep birthday and graduation parties busy through the year. Summers are warm with heavy afternoon storms, and winter nights turn cold, so heaters matter for evening events. Planners and hire companies are based in Willowton and Mkondeni and travel up the N3 into the Midlands.
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
- 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
- Birthdays and private parties: festoon lights, colour wash and a small dance floor light for a 21st or 40th
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: stage washes, a branded LED backdrop and a lighting operator for launches and awards dinners
- Festivals, markets and sports days: stage lighting, a large LED wall and area lighting for pathways, bars and parking
- Kids' parties and baby showers: coloured party lights for an evening party, or a projector for a movie night
