Events in Sandton

Sandton is the corporate heart of Johannesburg, with the Sandton Convention Centre, large hotels and office towers hosting conferences, award evenings, product launches and year-end functions. Private homes and estates in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside hold large garden weddings, milestone birthdays and charity dinners, often with stretch tents and lighting. Demand for sound, screens and staging is high, and planners usually book months ahead for November and December. Luxury hire items such as lounge furniture and decor are popular here. Many planners and hire companies are based close by in Wynberg and Rivonia. Highveld summer storms mean outdoor functions need a firm wet-weather plan.
