Cape Town notes on chairs
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.
Cape Town: the events, the weather and the hire firms
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: long banquet tables at a barn, farm or wine estate reception with greenery
- Families and home celebrations: a long table lunch, an engagement party or a big birthday at a smallholding
- Churches and faith gatherings: seating for a church fellowship dinner or a retreat centre gathering
Local tips for Cape Town
Hire firms serving Cape Town mostly work from here: montague Gardens, Epping, Paarden Eiland and Ottery. The bookings that come up most: wedding marquees and Tiffany chairs, funeral tents, corporate lounge sets. When you ask for quotes, ask how the tent handles the south-easter and whether winter sides are included.
Bookings range widely: from 20 to 250 chairs a booking. Here, weddings and engagements lead the requests, typically for long banquet tables at a barn, farm or wine estate reception with greenery. One local point to raise: trucks from industrial areas; far suburbs, Atlantic venues and farms cost more.
Service area: Cape Town and surrounds
Requests from Cape Town go to hire firms that already deliver to Century City, Woodstock, Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Claremont, Salt River and the rest of the area. Mention stairs, a long carry, a gravel road or an after-hours collection, because they change the price.
