Hiring a fully curated tablescape from Host the Event costs from R1,190 per box, with each box catering for 4 guests and including everything from the dinnerware and glassware to cutlery, linen and candles.

Compare that to sourcing individual pieces from a traditional décor hire company, where a comparable setup typically costs R1,100 or more before from at least 2 suppliers, before you’ve even added your time and cleaning. And buying quality tableware outright? The cost quickly becomes unquantifiable when you factor in sourcing time, storage and the reality that your taste will change.

One order, one delivery, everything included — that’s the Host the Event difference.
