Events in Sandton
Sandton is the corporate heart of Johannesburg, with the Sandton Convention Centre, large hotels and office towers hosting conferences, award evenings, product launches and year-end functions. Private homes and estates in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside hold large garden weddings, milestone birthdays and charity dinners, often with stretch tents and lighting. Demand for sound, screens and staging is high, and planners usually book months ahead for November and December. Luxury hire items such as lounge furniture and decor are popular here. Many planners and hire companies are based close by in Wynberg and Rivonia. Highveld summer storms mean outdoor functions need a firm wet-weather plan.
Typical tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Conferences, launches and expos: a temporary breakaway or catering tent beside the main venue
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a team-building day or year-end braai under cover on a lawn or sports field
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a garden or farm tent over round tables, with sidewalls and lighting for an evening reception
- Birthdays and private parties: a backyard tent for a 21st or 50th over tables, a bar and a dance floor
- Festivals, markets and sports days: stall, beer-garden and first-aid tents at markets, fairs and sports days
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: funeral, unveiling and church tents seating hundreds on a yard or street
- Kids' parties and baby showers: shade for a party on the lawn, with tables for food and a corner for the cake
Local tips for Sandton
Common here: conferences, awards dinners, luxury garden weddings, lounge and decor hire.

Tent Hire usually suits weddings, funerals, school and church events, at a scale of 30 to 1,000 guests. A quote normally covers tent, ropes, pegs, delivery, setup and strike, and pitched the day before or early on the day. Locally: summer storms: ask for a rated tent, drainage and a covered back-up area.

- Date, venue and the ground type: lawn, paving or sand
- Number of guests and how they will sit
- Wall type: open, white sidewalls or clear
- Flooring, lighting and power needed
