Events in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is the gateway to the Midlands Meander, so weddings here often mean country gardens, farm venues and lodges around Hilton, Howick and Karkloof. In town, Scottsville and Hayfields offer older halls, school grounds and church venues for matric dances, anniversaries and funerals, and the Royal Show grounds host large public events. Students from the university and colleges keep birthday and graduation parties busy through the year. Summers are warm with heavy afternoon storms, and winter nights turn cold, so heaters matter for evening events. Planners and hire companies are based in Willowton and Mkondeni and travel up the N3 into the Midlands.
Typical stage hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a low platform for the band, the speeches and the bridal table
- School events and matric dances: a stage for prize-givings, concerts and matric dance performances
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a platform with a roof for church services, rallies and cultural events
- Birthdays and private parties: a small deck for a live band or a DJ at a big party
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a branded stage for awards, product launches and keynote addresses
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a main stage with a truss roof, ramps and crowd barriers for concerts
- Kids' parties and baby showers: a low platform for entertainers, a puppet show or a talent contest
