Shambala Park

Event planning in Cape Town means managing variables that don't exist elsewhere. Shambala Park operates from the ground up with those realities in mind—the summer wind that can turn a marquee into a problem, the winter rain that demands contingency, the load-shedding periods that affect both catering kitchens and guest comfort, and the logistics of moving people and equipment across the city's geography. Their work involves site assessment and seasonal timing, vendor coordination across multiple trades, backup power planning for evening events, and the kind of weather-reading that comes from doing this work in a specific place rather than following a template. They understand how to source locally, work with Cape Town's service providers, and build event timelines that account for what actually happens here.
