Group trips

You rented the villa. We'll bring the party.

Twelve of you, a villa above the sea, a 40th or a hen weekend. You take them wine tasting for the afternoon. They walk back through the gate to a long candlelit table, a wall of balloons with her name in gold, and a party nobody knew was coming.

Customised balloon garland and backdrop at a Cape Town celebration
In short

The Villa Celebration is Alora Events' package for milestone birthdays (30th, 40th, 50th), hen parties and bachelorettes, girls' trips and family reunions in rented villas across Cape Town, from Camps Bay to Constantia and the Winelands. It starts from R9,500 (about $575, €515, £430) for up to 12 guests and includes a balloon backdrop with the name or number, a styled dinner table, a welcome setup, set-up while you're out and clean-up after.

Planning with a group

One organiser, one chat

Group trips work best with one person as our contact. That person books, pays the deposit and talks to us on WhatsApp. They can share the free Alora planner with the group for the guest list, the budget and who arrives when.

We set up while the group is out, on a Cape Point drive, a wine tasting or a boat trip, so the reveal happens when everyone walks back in.

Peak season

December fills first

December to February is Cape Town's peak. Villas, restaurants and our calendar fill six to eight weeks out. We take at most two visitor setups a day, so if your group's big night is in that window, book the date now and settle the details later.

Christmas lunch and New Year's Eve tables for families spending December in Cape Town are quoted on the same package.

Questions

Before you book

How much does villa party decor cost in Cape Town?+
The Villa Celebration starts from R9,500 (about $575, €515, £430) for up to 12 guests, with the backdrop, dinner table, welcome setup, set-up and clean-up included. Extra guests are R450 (about $25, €25, £20) each.
Do we need the villa owner's permission?+
Yes, and we get it for you. Send us the villa name or your host's contact and we check their rules on balloons near the pool, confetti and fixings before we confirm.
Can you set up while we're out?+
Yes, that's the usual plan. We agree a window with the host, set up while you're away and leave everything ready.
Can you do a 50th for a bigger family group?+
Yes. Over 12 guests is R450 (about $25, €25, £20) per extra guest for the table, and for groups over 20 we quote a lounge area and a bigger installation.
Do you bring the paint and canvases for sip and paint?+
Yes. Easels, canvases, paints, brushes, aprons and a guided session. You supply the drinks.
