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 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
- School events and matric dances: trestles and chairs for fun days, prize-givings and matric dance dinners
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: hundreds of chairs and trestles for funerals, unveilings and church lunches
- Birthdays and private parties: a family-style long table or round tables for a 21st or a 50th at home
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: banquet seating for dinners and cocktail tables for networking and launches
- 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
