Durban notes on special seating & dressing
Throne chairs and a decorated couple's stage are part of most Indian wedding bookings in Phoenix and Chatsworth, often with sashes in the family's colours. Umembeso and lobola days in Umlazi call for wingback chairs for the elders and rows of covered chairs. Conference seating goes to hotels and office parks around Umhlanga Ridge and La Lucia, and wheelchair hire is common for visitors staying near the beachfront. Book cocktail tables early for the festive season.
Durban: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Few cities book chairs for as many reasons on one Saturday. Hindu weddings in Chatsworth and Phoenix can run over several days and want tents, Tiffany chairs, a stage for the couple and plenty of tables; funerals and unveilings in Umlazi and KwaMashu need a tent and plastic chairs in the yard by Friday; and corporate functions in Umhlanga want cocktail tables and lounge sets. Most hire firms work from industrial areas such as Prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield and Riverhorse Valley and send trucks across the metro. Summer brings humid heat and sudden downpours, so ask for tent sides and flooring, and mention steep Berea or Westville driveways when you describe access.
The requests we see from Durban usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: rarely, though families sometimes book the same chairs for a memorial a week later
- Weddings and engagements: ceremony rows either side of the aisle and matching chairs at every reception table
- Churches and faith gatherings: church weddings where extra chairs fill the hall for the reception after the service
Local tips for Durban
Hire firms serving Durban mostly work from here: prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield, Riverhorse Valley and the townships. The bookings that come up most: funeral tents and plastic chairs, wedding marquees and Tiffany chairs. When you ask for quotes, ask for tent sides and flooring in summer, and say if the yard is on a slope.
Bookings range widely: from 40 to 400 guests a wedding. Here, funerals, memorials and unveilings lead the requests, typically for rarely, though families sometimes book the same chairs for a memorial a week later. One local point to raise: trucks from metro yards; outlying townships and the north coast may cost more.
