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: a modern reception where coloured linen and flowers show through the chairs
- Churches and faith gatherings: a church wedding reception or an anniversary dinner in a fellowship hall
- Companies, conferences and functions: a product launch, a cocktail function or a VIP lounge at a conference
