Events in Durban
Durban weddings and functions follow the water: beachfront hotels along the Golden Mile, garden venues in Berea and Westville, and seaside lawns and conference halls around Umhlanga and the Durban ICC. Indian, Zulu and Christian traditions mean large guest lists, often 200 or more, so tents, tables, chairs and catering equipment are hired in volume. Summer is hot and humid with sudden afternoon storms, so sidewalls and drainage matter as much as shade. Corporate year-end functions and conferences fill the diary from October to December. Planners and event hire companies work from the southern basin, Springfield, Pinetown and the North Coast, and they deliver across the metro.
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
- 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
- Festivals, markets and sports days: benches, picnic tables and high tables for food courts and seating areas
- Kids' parties and baby showers: low tables and small chairs for children plus adult seating for parents
