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 party decor hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a bridal shower, engagement or kitchen tea styled with balloons and a dessert table
- School events and matric dances: a prize-giving or matric dance entrance arch and photo backdrop
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a baptism, christening tea or church celebration with a simple balloon and flower display
- Birthdays and private parties: a balloon arch, themed backdrop and cake table for a 21st or a milestone birthday
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a staff birthday, family day or casual team celebration with a simple backdrop
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a kids' corner or family area at a market with bunting and balloons
- Kids' parties and baby showers: a character or colour theme, balloon garland, party table and picnic seating
