Chairs in Johannesburg: local notes
Churches in Hillbrow, Yeoville and Berea hire plastic chairs for overflow services and conventions, while garden venues in Parkhurst, Emmarentia and the older northern suburbs ask for Wimbledon or cross back chairs on the lawn. Halls in Mayfair, Fordsburg and Lenasia take banquet and Tiffany chairs for weddings and Eid gatherings. Loft and rooftop functions in Maboneng and Braamfontein like bar stools and ghost chairs. Stairs and long carries in inner city buildings can add to the delivery fee.
Johannesburg: the events, the weather and the hire firms
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.
Typical folding chair hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: chairs that fit through a narrow gate and into a small yard or lounge
- Companies, conferences and functions: seating for a training day, an AGM or a staff briefing in a boardroom
- Weddings and engagements: quick ceremony seating that moves to the reception while guests have drinks
