Events in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town surrounded by some of the best-known wine farms in the country, so weddings, launches and corporate functions here usually mean vineyard terraces, cellars and oak-lined lawns. Students at the university add graduations, society dinners and birthday parties, while Technopark and Die Boord host company events and conferences. Rain from May to August makes a roof or flooring important, and the summer south-easter calls for wind-rated tents. Venues often set strict rules on noise, caterers and access, and some limit guest numbers. Planners and hire companies are based in Stellenbosch, Techno Park and Somerset West and deliver to farms from Jonkershoek to Franschhoek.
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
- 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
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a main stage with a truss roof, ramps and crowd barriers for concerts
- Birthdays and private parties: a small deck for a live band or a DJ at a big party
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a platform with a roof for church services, rallies and cultural events
- School events and matric dances: a stage for prize-givings, concerts and matric dance performances
