Trestle tables (R60–R120) seat six to eight and run buffets; 10-seater rounds (R90–R160) build wedding floors; cocktail tables (R80–R140) carry Boardwalk-side corporate functions and canapé hours. Linen, overlays and runners hire per table in your colour scheme.
Couch lounges, draping and the finishing hires
Couch-and-tent lounges are the current coastal function look — two- and three-seater couches with ottomans grouped inside stretch tents, from R850 per lounge grouping, and they suit the relaxed sundowner style of a Summerstrand function. Draping per metre, fairy-light canopies, walkway carpets, stage decks, patio heaters and mobile fridges complete the list — all riding the same truck as your tent from marquee hire in Port Elizabeth or stretch tent hire in Port Elizabeth.
Furniture-only hire

Common questions
How much are tents and chairs to hire together in Port Elizabeth?
A 50-guest bundle — peg-and-pole tent, 50 plastic chairs, 8 trestle tables — runs R1,800–R3,200 in Nelson Mandela Bay. Swapping to Tiffany chairs adds roughly R1,400–R2,400 at 50 seats.
What is the difference between Tiffany and Wimbledon chairs?
A Tiffany chair is the resin bamboo-back reception chair, hired in gold, silver, white and clear. A Wimbledon chair is the slatted folding garden chair used for lawn and beachfront ceremonies. Tiffany reads formal; Wimbledon reads garden.
Do you deliver chairs and tables without a tent?
Yes. Furniture-only orders deliver across the metro with the crew placing tables and chairs to your floor plan and collecting after the function.
