Johannesburg notes on tables, tents & party hire
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.
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.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: trestles for the meal after the service and for the after-tears at home
- Weddings and engagements: rounds for the reception plus a long top table and a cake table
- Families and home celebrations: a few trestles for the food and gifts at a birthday, baby shower or braai
