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 party planners requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a bridal shower, kitchen tea or bachelorette lunch with a theme, decor and games
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: an office birthday, baby shower or milestone celebration for a colleague with simple catering
- Conferences, launches and expos: a speakers' welcome braai or networking drinks hosted outside the main programme
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a street party or holiday market with a children's corner, music and food stalls
- Birthdays and private parties: a 21st, 40th or 50th with a theme, cake table, bar and music, at home or a venue
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a church tea, baby shower or women's day lunch with decor and snacks
- School events and matric dances: a class party, a graduation tea or a fundraising fun day run by the parents' committee
- Kids' parties and baby showers: a themed children's party with a castle, entertainer, activities and food for the parents
