Events in Pretoria
Pretoria hosts government functions, university graduations, embassy events and plenty of family weddings. Garden venues in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Faerie Glen suit smaller ceremonies, while wine and country estates to the east and north draw larger bookings. October is jacaranda season, when outdoor photographs and spring weddings are in high demand. Many companies hold conferences and workshops at hotels and lodges around Hatfield and Centurion, and churches and halls in Mamelodi and Soshanguve host big community celebrations. Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms, so tents and covered stages are popular. Planners and hire companies work from Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and cover the whole of Tshwane.
Typical tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a garden or farm tent over round tables, with sidewalls and lighting for an evening reception
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a team-building day or year-end braai under cover on a lawn or sports field
- Conferences, launches and expos: a temporary breakaway or catering tent beside the main venue
