What to know locally in Johannesburg
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.
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.
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
- Weddings and engagements: a modern reception where coloured linen and flowers show through the chairs
- Families and home celebrations: a bridal shower, a baby shower or a 21st with a modern pastel theme
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 clear chairs for the family at an indoor memorial in a small chapel. Before you agree to anything: check each chair for scratches against light. Delivery here: trucks from metro warehouses; the fee rises with distance and traffic.
