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 stage hire requests in the area come from:
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a branded stage for awards, product launches and keynote addresses
- Conferences, launches and expos: a plenary stage with a podium, screens and ramps for speakers
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a low platform for the band, the speeches and the bridal table
- Birthdays and private parties: a small deck for a live band or a DJ at a big party
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a main stage with a truss roof, ramps and crowd barriers for concerts
- School events and matric dances: a stage for prize-givings, concerts and matric dance performances
- Kids' parties and baby showers: a low platform for entertainers, a puppet show or a talent contest
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a platform with a roof for church services, rallies and cultural events
Local tips for Gauteng
Common here: year-end functions, garden and lodge weddings, conferences. Ask each supplier to allow for this: ask whether late-evening collection costs extra. Suppliers usually come from here: planners and hire companies across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand and the East Rand.
Stage Hire usually suits concerts, weddings, conferences, school events, at a scale of 2 x 2 m decks to 12 x 10 m stages. A quote normally covers decks, steps, skirting, crew, build and strike, and half a day for a deck, one to two for a roof. Locally: summer afternoon thunderstorms: ask for a waterproof marquee and a wet-weather plan.
What to include in your request
- Date, venue and the ground type
