What to know locally in Eastern Cape
Plastic chairs go out in big numbers to Motherwell, KwaZakhele, Mdantsane and the villages around Mthatha for funerals, unveilings and umgidi. Coastal wedding venues near Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and the Wild Coast hotels prefer Wimbledon and cross back chairs on lawns. Makhanda's school halls hire folding chairs for prize-givings and festival shows. In wind, light resin chairs tip easily, so ask for heavy duty plastic or timber outdoors.
Hiring for events in Eastern Cape
Ask a firm that has hauled a tent to a homestead outside Mthatha and they will tell you the road matters as much as the tent. Rural ceremonies, umgidi celebrations for returning initiates, funerals and church gatherings take a large share of bookings across the former Transkei and Ciskei, often at homesteads reached by gravel. In the metros, Gqeberha and East London firms handle weddings, corporate functions and matric farewells, while Makhanda's arts festival and university events lift demand in town for a few weeks a year. Coastal wind is the constant caution from Jeffreys Bay to Port Alfred, and Karoo towns like Graaff-Reinet bring hot days and frosty nights. Plan delivery a day early for remote sites.
Typical ghost chair hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: clear chairs for the family at an indoor memorial in a small chapel
- Families and home celebrations: a bridal shower, a baby shower or a 21st with a modern pastel theme
- Weddings and engagements: a modern reception where coloured linen and flowers show through the chairs
