What to know locally in Johannesburg
Funeral and unveiling tents go up in yards across Soweto, Orange Farm and Eldorado Park most weekends, with a few trestle tables for the meal. Stretch tents suit garden parties in Melville, Northcliff and Westdene, where the lawn takes pegs well. Frame marquees appear on school fields and club grounds for fun days, and on paved church grounds for revivals. Party hire with jumping castles and kiddies sets peaks in December, for birthdays and family reunions in the yard.
Hiring for events 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 marquee and frame tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a closed frame tent for a large funeral or memorial when rain is likely
- Weddings and engagements: a walled marquee for the reception with a dance floor and no centre poles
- Families and home celebrations: a frame tent on the lawn for a milestone birthday or a big family celebration
Local tips for Johannesburg
Common here: funeral tents and plastic chairs, Tiffany chairs and stretch tents for weddings. Ask each hire firm about this: ask for a firm near your venue to keep the transport fee down. Where they work from: industrial areas south of the CBD, the northern suburbs and yards in Soweto.
Bookings range widely: from 6 x 6 m to large multi-bay halls. Here, funerals, memorials and unveilings lead the requests, typically for a closed frame tent for a large funeral or memorial when rain is likely. One local point to raise: trucks from metro warehouses; the fee rises with distance and traffic.
