Special seating & dressing in Durban: local notes
Throne chairs and a decorated couple's stage are part of most Indian wedding bookings in Phoenix and Chatsworth, often with sashes in the family's colours. Umembeso and lobola days in Umlazi call for wingback chairs for the elders and rows of covered chairs. Conference seating goes to hotels and office parks around Umhlanga Ridge and La Lucia, and wheelchair hire is common for visitors staying near the beachfront. Book cocktail tables early for the festive season.
Chairs, tables and tents in Durban
Few cities book chairs for as many reasons on one Saturday. Hindu weddings in Chatsworth and Phoenix can run over several days and want tents, Tiffany chairs, a stage for the couple and plenty of tables; funerals and unveilings in Umlazi and KwaMashu need a tent and plastic chairs in the yard by Friday; and corporate functions in Umhlanga want cocktail tables and lounge sets. Most hire firms work from industrial areas such as Prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield and Riverhorse Valley and send trucks across the metro. Summer brings humid heat and sudden downpours, so ask for tent sides and flooring, and mention steep Berea or Westville driveways when you describe access.
Typical cocktail table hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a few tall tables for tea and refreshments after a memorial service
- Families and home celebrations: a 40th or an engagement drinks party on the patio with guests standing
- Companies, conferences and functions: product launches, networking evenings, expo stands and year-end drinks
Local tips for Durban
Most hired in Durban: funeral tents and plastic chairs, wedding marquees and Tiffany chairs. Where the hire firms are: prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield, Riverhorse Valley and the townships. A useful tip: ask for tent sides and flooring in summer, and say if the yard is on a slope.
Bookings range widely: from 4 to 60 tables an event. Here, funerals, memorials and unveilings lead the requests, typically for a few tall tables for tea and refreshments after a memorial service. One local point to raise: trucks from metro yards; outlying townships and the north coast may cost more.
