What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Umembeso and umabo celebrations often seat the elders on throne chairs and dress plastic chairs with stretch covers and sashes in family colours. Durban's conference hotels and the Umhlanga office node hire padded conference seating for launches and training days. Midlands wedding venues book lounge sets and cocktail tables for the drinks hour. Wheelchairs are often hired for elders at big ceremonies, so put them on the same request as the chairs.
KwaZulu-Natal: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Umembeso, umabo and family funerals keep tents standing in yards from Umlazi to Ulundi, and these traditional ceremonies often need more chairs than any wedding venue. Durban and Pietermaritzburg hold the biggest hire depots, with firms in Richards Bay, Newcastle and Port Shepstone covering their regions. Beach and estate weddings on the North and South Coasts and Midlands country venues book Tiffany chairs, stretch tents and lounge furniture in season. Humid summer rain is the main concern: ground turns soft and slippery, and coastal wind can lift light chairs and cloths. Many rural homesteads sit on steep ground, so tell the firm about slopes and access before they load the truck.
Typical wheelchair hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a chair for an elder at the service, the graveside and the after-tears
- Companies, conferences and functions: a chair kept on hand at a conference or a staff member returning after surgery
- Weddings and engagements: a day chair for an elderly guest who cannot manage the walk to the ceremony
