Events in Gauteng
Gauteng is the busiest events market in the country, from corporate functions and conferences at convention centres in Sandton, Midrand and Johannesburg to weddings at garden venues and lodges around the Cradle of Humankind, Magaliesburg and Pretoria East. Families hold birthdays, kids' parties and traditional ceremonies in home gardens, community halls and church grounds across Soweto, Tembisa and the East Rand, while schools book matric dances and fun days. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms, so many hosts plan a marquee or stretch tent as cover. Winters are dry and cold at night. Most planners and hire companies work from Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand.

Typical party planners requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a bridal shower, kitchen tea or bachelorette lunch with a theme, decor and games
- Birthdays and private parties: a 21st, 40th or 50th with a theme, cake table, bar and music, at home or a venue
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a street party or holiday market with a children's corner, music and food stalls
- 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
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a church tea, baby shower or women's day lunch with decor and snacks
