Northdale marquees — built around the function
Northdale hosts some of Pietermaritzburg's biggest home functions: multi-day weddings, engagements, mehndi nights and prayer functions where the structure stands from midweek rigging to the weekend collection. Multi-day hire is priced as one package, not per day.
| Northdale function | Setup | Guests | Typical band |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-day prayer function | Plain marquee | 100 | R6,500–R9,000 |
| Wedding weekend, dressed | 10m × 15m frame, draping + stage | 100–120 | R9,000–R14,000 |
| Engagement or mehndi night | Frame 5m × 10m, draped | 50 | R2,800–R4,200 |
| Large multi-day wedding | 10m × 30m | 200–240 | R12,000–R18,000 |
| Outside kitchen | Gazebo 3m × 6m | food station | R850–R1,500 |
Yard depth is what usually sets the size here rather than the guest list. Northdale stands run long and narrow, so a 10m × 30m rigged down the length of a property seats the same number as a squarer marquee that simply will not fit between the walls. The crew measures before delivery day rather than on it. For the structures themselves and what separates a frame from a peg-and-pole, see marquee hire in Pietermaritzburg; for the full metro service and area list, tent hire in Pietermaritzburg.
Tents with chairs, tables and draping in one delivery
Northdale packages bundle the full setup: plastic or Tiffany chairs, trestle and round tables, roof and wall draping, stage decks for the bridal or prayer setting, and fairy-light canopies. One truck, one crew, one invoice. Chair and table options with per-item rates are on tables and chairs for hire in Pietermaritzburg, and draping add-on rates sit in tent hire prices in Pietermaritzburg.

Do you set up for multi-day Northdale functions?
Yes. Northdale weddings and prayer functions typically rig midweek and strike after the weekend. The marquee, draping, stage and furniture stay up for the full run under one package price.
