Special seating & dressing in Johannesburg: local notes
Traditional weddings in Soweto, Eldorado Park and Lenasia often want a throne pair for the couple and wingback chairs for the elders, beside rows of covered plastic chairs. Conference seating goes to training rooms in Braamfontein, Parktown and Rosebank, usually in theatre or classroom layouts. Wheelchair hire is common for patients going home from the large hospitals in Parktown and Diepkloof. Lounge sets and cocktail tables suit gallery openings in Newtown and office year-end parties.
Chairs, tables and tents in Johannesburg
A single Saturday in Johannesburg can mean rows of plastic chairs under a funeral tent in one suburb and gold Tiffany chairs at a garden wedding a short drive away. The metro is big enough that hire firms tend to split along those lines: many keep warehouses in the industrial belt south of the CBD, while others run smaller yards from the townships and serve their own streets. Transport fees depend on distance and on traffic on the M1 and the highways round the city, so a firm close to your venue often quotes less. Book weekends from October to December early, and in summer plan for afternoon storms and hail with a tent that has sides.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a few tall tables for tea and refreshments after a memorial service
- Churches and faith gatherings: a fellowship tea or a fundraising evening in the church hall or garden
- Companies, conferences and functions: product launches, networking evenings, expo stands and year-end drinks
Local tips for Johannesburg
Hire firms serving Johannesburg mostly work from here: industrial areas south of the CBD, the northern suburbs and yards in Soweto. The bookings that come up most: funeral tents and plastic chairs, Tiffany chairs and stretch tents for weddings. When you ask for quotes, ask for a firm near your venue to keep the transport fee down.
Around Johannesburg the largest group asking is funerals, memorials and unveilings, which usually means a few tall tables for tea and refreshments after a memorial service. Before you agree to anything: lock the base open; keep off soft lawn. Delivery here: trucks from metro warehouses; the fee rises with distance and traffic.
