Events in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town surrounded by some of the best-known wine farms in the country, so weddings, launches and corporate functions here usually mean vineyard terraces, cellars and oak-lined lawns. Students at the university add graduations, society dinners and birthday parties, while Technopark and Die Boord host company events and conferences. Rain from May to August makes a roof or flooring important, and the summer south-easter calls for wind-rated tents. Venues often set strict rules on noise, caterers and access, and some limit guest numbers. Planners and hire companies are based in Stellenbosch, Techno Park and Somerset West and deliver to farms from Jonkershoek to Franschhoek.
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
- Festivals, markets and sports days: stall, beer-garden and first-aid tents at markets, fairs and sports days
- Birthdays and private parties: a backyard tent for a 21st or 50th over tables, a bar and a dance floor
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: funeral, unveiling and church tents seating hundreds on a yard or street
- School events and matric dances: a fun day, prize-giving or matric function tent on the school field
