Paarl: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Wine farms around Paarl, Simondium, Franschhoek and Wellington make the Drakenstein valley one of the busiest wedding areas in the Cape. Couples book marquees, cross back and Tiffany chairs, lounge sets and long tables for vineyard receptions, mostly in the warmer months and well ahead. The town has its own steady trade too: funerals and family celebrations in Mbekweni and Paarl East, church events at the many congregations, school sports days and the matric farewell season. Hire firms are based in Paarl, Wellington and Dal Josafat, and others come out from Cape Town, charging for the trip. Summer heat in the valley can be intense, the south-easter blows through, and long farm roads add transport costs.
Typical tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and engagements: a tent on the lawn or farm for the ceremony and reception with sides on standby
- Schools, colleges and universities: tents on the sports field for a sports day, a fete or a prize-giving
- Families and home celebrations: a tent in the yard for a lobola, an umembeso, a 21st or a family reunion
