What to know locally in Cape Town
Funerals in Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Philippi and Delft book white plastic chairs by the hundred, usually with a tent on the pavement or yard. Constantia and Durbanville wine farm weddings ask for cross back or gold Tiffany chairs, and Camps Bay or Llandudno beach ceremonies use Wimbledon or folding chairs that cope with sand. Ghost chairs and bar stools are popular at Woodstock and De Waterkant launches and rooftop parties.
Chairs, tables and tents 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.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Weddings and engagements: ceremony rows and reception chairs in Tiffany, cross back or Wimbledon styles
- Churches and faith gatherings: hundreds of plastic chairs in rows for a revival, Easter service or tent crusade
- Companies, conferences and functions: stacking chairs for a year-end function, a launch or an extra training room
Local tips for Cape Town
Most hired in Cape Town: wedding marquees and Tiffany chairs, funeral tents, corporate lounge sets. Where the hire firms are: montague Gardens, Epping, Paarden Eiland and Ottery. A useful tip: ask how the tent handles the south-easter and whether winter sides are included.
Bookings range widely: from 20 chairs to a few thousand. Here, weddings and engagements lead the requests, typically for ceremony rows and reception chairs in Tiffany, cross back or Wimbledon styles. One local point to raise: trucks from industrial areas; far suburbs, Atlantic venues and farms cost more.
