Cape Town notes on tables, tents & party hire
For summer events on open ground, ask how the tent is rated for the south-easter and whether it can be anchored on paving. Stretch tents are a favourite for Atlantic seaboard and Southern Suburbs garden parties. Winter weddings need frame marquees with clear or solid sides, flooring and heaters. Round tables with floor-length cloths are the wedding norm, while long trestles suit Eid lunches and church functions on the Cape Flats.
Hiring for events in Cape Town
Two seasons rule Cape Town bookings. From November to March, the south-easter blows hard while wine farm weddings in Constantia, beach events on the Atlantic seaboard, product launches and festive parties fill the calendar, and tent firms check wind forecasts closely. From May to August, winter rain moves events under cover, so marquees with sides, flooring and heating take over. All year, funerals in Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Nyanga and Langa need a tent and plastic chairs, and Cape Malay weddings and Eid gatherings in the Bo-Kaap, Athlone and Mitchells Plain book tables, chairs and linen. Most hire firms run from Montague Gardens, Epping, Paarden Eiland and Ottery, and charge more to reach the far southern suburbs or the West Coast.
Typical table and chair hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and engagements: dressed rounds of 10 with Tiffany chairs and a long top table for the couple
- Companies, conferences and functions: rounds and banquet chairs for a year-end function or an awards dinner
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: plastic chairs and a few trestles at the family home, delivered before the weekend
