Events in East London
East London pairs beachfront and river venues with a strong corporate and manufacturing base. Weddings happen on the lawns of Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Nahoon, at guest houses near the Buffalo River mouth and in garden venues inland, while the Orient Beach area and the city centre host conferences, school events and public festivals. Mdantsane has one of the largest township communities in the Eastern Cape, with traditional weddings, umembeso, funerals and unveilings that call for large tents and hundreds of chairs. Summers are warm and humid with sea breezes and storms. Planners and hire companies work from Vincent, Cambridge and Beacon Bay and cover Bhisho, Qonce and Gonubie.
