Everything for your event from one Cape Town family business: show pieces we built for days like yours, plus the tables, chairs, crockery and glassware. We pack it, deliver it and fetch it after.
“Been using them for 20 years now believe it or not.”
The pieces your guests remember and photograph. Every photo here is the real piece that arrives at your venue, and we fetch it afterwards. Hover a photo to see more.
Your guests walk in and take a glass straight off the wall, so the welcome drink is served before anyone queues at the bar. Holds 60 or 100 glasses, hired separately at R1.50 each.
Turns your sweets, favours or desserts into the corner the kids (and the adults) keep coming back to. We have two, so you can book a matching pair.
A proper bar for your year-end or 21st, wherever you hold it. Folds flat for delivery and works just as well as a DJ booth.
Frame your aisle, entrance or cake table so it looks finished in every photo.
Lift your platters so even a small grazing table looks full and generous.
A finished look in one booking. Free delivery and collection within 10 km of Glen Lily, and you can still change anything once it is in your order.
Custom builds from R3,500. Made for your event, delivered and collected.
Can't find the exact piece you have in mind? Every one of our show pieces was built by hand by Ashley, our owner. Tell him what you're picturing and he'll tell you honestly whether he can build it, and what it costs.
