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.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a gazebo, chairs and an urn for a small after-tears or memorial tea
- Companies, conferences and functions: gazebos, cocktail tables and machines for an office year-end or family day
- Weddings and engagements: a kids corner with low tables and games at a family wedding reception

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.
Party Hire usually suits birthdays, kids parties and year-ends. What you get: dropped off, set up and collected.
