Cape Town notes on special seating & dressing
Corporate events around Century City, the city centre and the Waterfront book conference chairs, cocktail tables and lounge sets, often for summer evenings on a terrace. Cape Malay weddings in Athlone and Mitchells Plain usually want chair covers, sashes and a decorated couple's seat. Kiddies sets go to Southern Suburbs birthday parties, and wheelchair hire is common for tourists and patients from the city's large hospitals.
Hiring for events in Cape Town
Two seasons rule Cape Town bookings. From November to March, the south-easter blows hard while wine farm weddings in Constantia, beach events on the Atlantic seaboard, product launches and festive parties fill the calendar, and tent firms check wind forecasts closely. From May to August, winter rain moves events under cover, so marquees with sides, flooring and heating take over. All year, funerals in Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Nyanga and Langa need a tent and plastic chairs, and Cape Malay weddings and Eid gatherings in the Bo-Kaap, Athlone and Mitchells Plain book tables, chairs and linen. Most hire firms run from Montague Gardens, Epping, Paarden Eiland and Ottery, and charge more to reach the far southern suburbs or the West Coast.
Who asks for chair covers and sashes around Cape Town, most often first:

- Families and home celebrations: a 21st, a 50th or a lobola lunch where plastic chairs need dressing up
- Churches and faith gatherings: church anniversaries, ordinations and conferences where the hall chairs are dressed

Around Cape Town the largest group asking is weddings and engagements, which usually means covered chairs with sashes in the wedding colours at every reception table.
