If you live in South Africa then the perfect event destination is right here on your doorstep.

 

If you are from another country here are some good reasons why South Africa is a great event destination.

 

The success of any event, business or social, depends largely on the space.

 

The space needs to eco the brief, be it an outdoor or indoor event perfectly tailored to meet guests’ expectations.

 

South Africa is unique in a number of ways.

 

– Outdoor

 

Our beautiful country offers a variety of spaces from wine estates to the open bushveld.

 

Many wine estates in the Western Cape also serve as venues for various types of events.

 

Corporate functions, weddings, festivals and so much more are possible.

 

Further north Gauteng offers industrial, urban spaces that serve as venues.

 

With major cities in each province of the country it is easy to transport and service all events.

 

Both inland and along the coast there are game parks and getaway locations suited to host events of all shapes and sizes.

 

Dimensions Event Solutions has collaborated and made many events possible with our services from Plett Rage to Afrika Burn to Queens Plate to Cape Epic and so many more.

 

– Indoor

 

South Africa has evolved and grown into operating at the highest standards.

 

All first-world facilities and services are available in South Africa.

 

We have modern, trendy, and technologically advanced conference centres positioned in all major cities.

 

Dimensions Event Solutions is proud to have collaborated with and executed events such as a roaring birthday celebration at The Grand Africa and New Year’s Parties at a host of prominent clubs in the Western Cape.

A stage is a space designed to elevate and highlight the main production of any event.

 

It is an architectural feature meaning it can consist of a platform or series of platforms all dependent on your vision.

 

How Do You Create A Focal Point At Your Next Event?

 

At Dimension Events Solutions there is no stage too big or too small we cannot implement.

 

What does setting up a stage or decking mean?

Do you really need it?

 

1. Do I need staging at my event?

 

A stage creates a focal point for your event if you have performers.

 

A stage can come in many shapes and sizes and does not necessarily mean it has to be front and centre.

 

For award ceremonies or end-of-year functions a stage is a great way to ensure all guests can see a speaker, host, or a MC.

 

2. What are my options?

 

 DES is super flexible and is a one-stop-shop. We are able to do all the design work, build, setup, and breakdown.

 

3. Do you do stage rentals?

 

 

Yes, we rent staging and decking and anything that goes with it i.e. lighting, sounds, etc. for both indoor and outdoor events.

 

4. Do you deliver, including setup and breakdown?

 

Absolutely, your convenience is a top priority.

 

Dimensions Event Solutions can supply any event with the appropriate staging or decking from live performances, runways, trade shows, corporate events, parties and more.

 

We are a team that prides ourselves on creating unique custom solutions for any space and would love the opportunity to support you with your next event.

It is no secret we are living in profoundly disruptive and overwhelming times, the impact of which is being felt, not only in the event industry, but across the board.

 

The world we enter back into post COVID-19 will be a transformed one having an effect on all industries, including the events space.

 

With uncertainty and unpredictability, we share our views of how this may shape our lives moving forward.

 

Social Distancing

 

Social distancing will remain an important element in fighting the battle against COVID-19.

 

We will need to be conscious of this and plan for spaces and implement hygiene controls to ensure the safety of all guests that attend any form or event or gathering.

 

Reduced budgets

 

Reduced budgets will potentially affect the size and production of events.

 

The Dimensions’ team have built a formidable brand and are recognised for our service delivery and creating solutions that are budget-friendly to make any event brief possible.

 

We are rethinking how we can tailor packages to suit a range of briefs and budgets, no event too big or too small.

 

New Services

 

There will be a demand for a new take on services and how we plan and execute events.

 

When there are serious changes in lifestyle and life circumstances, there is a fairly dramatic change in preference for brands that consumers use, and their perceptions about those brands.

 

When the Event industry returns…

 

One thing is for certain, we are confident that there will be a resurgence of gatherings and a need for social interaction.

 

The event industry will see a surge in demand for social gatherings, festivals, etc. after being in self-isolation for such an extended period.

 

As uncertain as it does feel today, the world will recover.

 

It sits with each of us as to how we react to that new “normal”.

 

For us at Dimensions we would like to focus on supporting resourcefulness and being connectors to adding value.

Over the past years the Dimensions team have had the opportunity and privilege to connect and create long lasting relationships with event industry leaders and we are committed to working closely with our clients in these ever-evolving times.

We understand when it comes to planning a corporate function, large or small, budgets play a key role.

 

Dimensions Event Solutions has a proven proven track record of not only coming in on budget, but for adding value beyond the brief, and combining this with efficient service.

 

The first step is to identify your space and ensure the best use of the natural landscape and scenery.

 

The theme sets the tone, whether a night or day event, so always ensure you’ve given the this some proper thought in terms of what best suits the space and the time of day or evening.

 

Artificial Grass

 

Artificial grass can transform a great space into an amazing space very easily and quickly.

 

This will green up your event and create a classy but relaxed vibe for your function.

 

Comfort of guests

 

 

As a host it takes a lot of finesse to ensure your guests’ happiness, so comfortable seating is very important.

 

Tables and chairs should be placed strategically depending on whether it is a sit-down function or more of a cocktail type event.

 

Either way you need to ensure that guests can sit and relax or stand around social tables with a place to put their drinks down.

 

Amenities such as lighting (if an evening event) and, most importantly,  sanitation facilities are vitally important.

 

Also, always consider if natural shade is available.

 

Tent/shade

Anticipating the uncontrollable, like the weather is vital.

 

Rain or sunshine, don’t let this affect your event by ensuring you have cover or shade to beat the wind or to keep dry.

 

A Bedouin style stretch tent is both a practical to contain noise levels or prevent any weather mishaps, but they also offer a wonderfully intimate atmosphere and unbridalled ambience.

 

Fire Pits

People are always attracted to fire for so many reasons and a well-controlled fire pit placed strategically around the venue is often a huge highlight.

 

Load in and out

 

Time restraints and deadlines often play a huge role when using a venue for a corporate function.

 

Our team works around the clock to ensure we can meet these requirements and that we are in and out on time and fuss free.
