Events in North West
North West events range from lodge and bush weddings around Hartbeespoort, Brits and the Magaliesberg to corporate functions for the mining houses in Rustenburg and Klerksdorp. Potchefstroom's university adds graduations, student functions and conferences, while farm towns host weddings, church events, funerals and traditional ceremonies in gardens, halls and open land. The province is hot and dry for much of the year, with summer storms and cold winter nights, so shade, water and power are worth planning early. Venues can be far apart. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Rustenburg, Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp and Brits, and travel to farms and rural venues.
Typical sound hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: speakers and wireless microphones for the ceremony, speeches and first dance, plus music in the tent
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a clean PA with lectern and headset microphones for awards, launches and year-end functions
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church, funeral and unveiling sound with microphones for the speakers and a hymn playlist
- Conferences, launches and expos: lectern, panel and handheld microphones, a mixing desk and an operator to manage the room and recordings
- School events and matric dances: a hall or field PA for prize-givings, matric dances, assemblies and sports days
- Birthdays and private parties: a small system for speeches and a playlist at a 21st, 40th or garden party
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a full-range rig with monitors and a technician for bands, markets and outdoor concerts
Local tips for North West
Common here: hartbeespoort weddings, mine functions, farm celebrations. Ask each supplier to allow for this: ask what power and water the venue provides, as many farm sites have neither. Suppliers usually come from here: planners and hire companies in Rustenburg, Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp and Brits.
Sound Hire usually suits weddings, conferences, parties, festivals, at a scale of 20 to 2,000 people. A quote normally covers speakers, microphones, cables, technician, and install and sound check 2 to 3 hours before. Locally: dry heat and dust in summer, cold winter nights: ask about shade, generators and heating.
