What we do — Pretoria Event Planning
We plan and produce corporate events throughout Pretoria and greater Tshwane — conferences, gala dinners, institutional functions, product launches and team building. We manage venue sourcing, AV, catering, protocol and full on-site delivery with the precision the capital expects.
Your event partner in Pretoria
Pretoria is South Africa's administrative capital, home to government departments, embassies, universities and a strong corporate base. Events here often carry a formal, institutional character — think official functions, academic conferences, diplomatic receptions and milestone corporate celebrations — where protocol, dignity and precision matter as much as production value.
B&W Productions brings the same 33 years of experience to Tshwane that we bring to the rest of Gauteng, with a keen understanding of the protocol and gravitas these events demand. From venue selection to seating hierarchy and programme flow, we make sure every detail reflects the standing of your organisation.

Protocol and seating hierarchy are often critical for government and institutional events — we plan these meticulously.

Do you handle formal and government-style functions in Pretoria?
Yes. We regularly manage institutional and formal corporate events where protocol, seating hierarchy and programme precision are essential. We handle these with the discretion and attention to detail they require.

The CSIR International Convention Centre is the leading choice for large conferences. For gala dinners and refined functions we favour the Manor at Irene, Sheraton Pretoria and Time Square in Menlyn Maine, depending on scale and style.

We cover all of Tshwane, including Centurion, Menlyn, Irene and surrounding areas. We select the venue and location that best fit your audience and event type.
