Events in Worcester
Worcester sits in the Breede River valley, ringed by mountains and surrounded by vineyards, orchards and packhouses. Farm weddings are popular on wine and fruit farms around Rawsonville, Robertson and Wolseley, often in barns, orchards and gardens where tents add shelter and a dance floor. Packhouse and cooperative companies host harvest events and year-end functions, and schools, churches and community halls in Zwelethemba and Avian Park hold matric dances, funerals and family celebrations. Summers are very hot and dry, and winter nights are cold with rain, so shade and heaters are common requests. Planners and hire companies work from Worcester and larger suppliers come from Paarl and Cape Town.
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
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church, funeral and unveiling sound with microphones for the speakers and a hymn playlist
- School events and matric dances: a hall or field PA for prize-givings, matric dances, assemblies and sports days
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a clean PA with lectern and headset microphones for awards, launches and year-end functions
- 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
