What to know locally in Johannesburg
Traditional weddings in Soweto, Eldorado Park and Lenasia often want a throne pair for the couple and wingback chairs for the elders, beside rows of covered plastic chairs. Conference seating goes to training rooms in Braamfontein, Parktown and Rosebank, usually in theatre or classroom layouts. Wheelchair hire is common for patients going home from the large hospitals in Parktown and Diepkloof. Lounge sets and cocktail tables suit gallery openings in Newtown and office year-end parties.
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.
Who asks for kiddies chairs and tables around Johannesburg, most often first:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a small table for the children at a memorial or after-tears at the family home
- Weddings and engagements: a separate kids table at a reception so the flower girls have their own corner
- Families and home celebrations: a birthday party in the garden or a christening lunch with a kids table
Local tips for Johannesburg

Bookings range widely: from 2 to 20 sets a party. Here, funerals, memorials and unveilings lead the requests, typically for a small table for the children at a memorial or after-tears at the family home.
