The advantages of organising an event within the premises of a marquee tent.

Before we delve into the benefits of hosting an event in a marquee tent, it is essential to define this type of structure. A marquee tent is a temporary, large shelter designed to be used outdoors for various occasions. These tents are typically made of durable materials such as PVC or canvas and supported by aluminium or steel frames.

When it comes to hosting events, marquee tents offer several advantages that make them an ideal choice for many people. Firstly, they provide a high degree of flexibility in terms of location. Unlike traditional indoor venues, marquee tents can be erected in a wide range of locations, including private gardens, public parks, and other outdoor spaces. This means that hosts can choose a convenient and suitable location for their event and guests.

Another significant advantage of marquee tents is their flexibility in size. These tents can be constructed in various sizes to accommodate small and large gatherings. This flexibility enables hosts to invite as many or as few guests as they want and to create a space that is the perfect size for their event. Additionally, marquee tents can be combined to create a larger space if needed.

Marquee tents offer great flexibility in terms of design. Hosts can tailor the tent’s design to their preferences and the theme and style of the event. This means that hosts can create a unique and memorable experience for their guests with customised lighting, decorations, and furnishings.

One of the marquee tent’s most notable advantages is its ability to provide protection from the elements. These tents are designed to shield guests from rain, wind, and sun, ensuring that the event can go ahead regardless of the weather conditions. This protection provides peace of mind for hosts and guests and ensures everyone can enjoy the event without worrying about the weather.

In conclusion, hosting an event in a marquee tent provides several benefits, including flexibility in location, size, design, and protection from the elements. Therefore, if you are planning an outdoor event, a marquee tent is worth considering as an ideal venue choice.

Umgidi on a Budget?

Planning a Traditional Umgidi on a Budget?

In many families in our country this is one of the most celebrated events. A boy goes to the bush and comes back a man. Every year, mostly in June and December, thousands of boys head to initiation school and return a few weeks later. These events are often lavish and get expensive for families already under financial strain. Here we will share our top tips to stay within your Umgidi budget.

OLD VS NEW WAY OF CELEBRATING

70 Years ago an umgidi looked very different. It was often celebrated with only a few bottles of brandy and homemade umqombothi. No animals were slaughtered, no debt was made and their sons would still be recognised as men wherever they went. The umgidi was at it’s core about the pride and support of family and community. The word literally means to bring and share.

Fast forward to 2022 it can take up to 2 years to plan a traditional function and amount to tens of thousands of rand for the celebration arrangements and supplies.

How to save on your budget

  • Venue – Hire a marquee tent, chairs and tables and set it up in your yard or open piece of land to accommodate your guests. It is affordable, easy to set up and takedown, and is also effective protection from the weather.
  • Food – Ask every family that you invite to bring a dish to the event. This will ensure that there is enough food for everybody and that there is variety as well. It will save the family from having to buy expensive cattle. And have a budget to provide a cake!
  • Drink – Make your own umqombothi! It is easy and inexpensive.
  • Attire – When you are saving on your venue and catering, you will have some extra cash to spend on the attire. If you are having your outfits made, make sure to get a few quotations and also look around for some hardly used items on Facebook Marketplace.
  • Decor – Get creative. Take some inspiration from nature, use sticks, plants rocks to create some nice decor pieces. Ask a creative friend to help you out. Head over to Pinterest for some affordable DIY ideas.

Last we want to remind you that your celebration should be a coming together of people, and there is no need to impress with extravagancies.
