Events in Cape Town
Cape Town hosts events on a scale few South African cities match: weddings on wine farms in Constantia and Durbanville, beach and mountain venues along the Atlantic seaboard, conferences at the CTICC in the city bowl, and large festivals and concerts across the metro. The wind is the main planning issue. The summer south-easter can flatten loose decor and test every tent, while winter brings cold rain and the occasional cold front, so many venues want a roof or a wet-weather backup. Corporate year-end functions fill December. Planners and hire companies cluster in Montague Gardens, Epping, Paarden Eiland and Century City and deliver across the peninsula and to the winelands.
Typical table and chair hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: round tables seating ten, chiavari chairs, a head table and a gift and cake table
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: banquet seating for dinners and cocktail tables for networking and launches
- Conferences, launches and expos: classroom or theatre rows, round tables for breakaways and registration tables
- Festivals, markets and sports days: benches, picnic tables and high tables for food courts and seating areas
- Birthdays and private parties: a family-style long table or round tables for a 21st or a 50th at home
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: hundreds of chairs and trestles for funerals, unveilings and church lunches
- School events and matric dances: trestles and chairs for fun days, prize-givings and matric dance dinners
- Kids' parties and baby showers: low tables and small chairs for children plus adult seating for parents
