JK Productions is also a technical event supplier, covering the production elements that many functions need behind the scenes.

They also supply event and stage lighting, mood and décor lighting, moving heads, LED and tungsten lighting technologies, staging, podiums, platforms, trussing, roof structures and related event structures, with attention to health and safety requirements.

For conferences, launches, awards events and corporate functions, the company’s professional services extend into audio visual and display hire.

Power support is also part of the offering, with generators, temporary event electrical infrastructure, standby systems, distribution boards, cabling and certification referenced as available event services.

Entertainment booking is another core part of the JK Productions offering. The company works with artists such as bands, magicians, clowns, stilt lkers, face painters, singers, musicians, comperes, dancers, celebrity performers, animal acts, motivational speakers and other speciality acts. They also provide fun food services for events, including popcorn, candyfloss, ice cream, soft serve, chip n dip, coffee bars, mobile food stalls, hotdogs, hamburgers, pizza, artisan craft foods, doughnuts, pancakes, toffee apples, custom sweet bars and soda fountains.

The company caters for a wide range of event types, including birthday parties, conferences, corporate events, family fun days, school events, year-end functions, product launches, road shows, awards events, themed functions, cocktail parties, team-building events and large or intimate private celebrations. Their jukebox hire, for example, is promoted for birthdays, weddings, barmitzvahs, corporate events, end-of-year functions and themed gatherings, with delivery, set-up and collection available.

JK Productions describes its approach as practical, detailed and client-focused. The business grew from Jeremy Kusner’s background in theatre, arts, electrical engineering, project management, sound and lighting, and has developed over 17 years from a one-person operation into one of the largest and most unique businesses of its kind in South Africa. The company highlights its own fleet of delivery vehicles, in-house workshops, custom manufacturing ability, professional rehouse and office facilities, electronic quoting system, staff training, large self-owned stock holding and Level 2 B-BBEE status.

Delivery is offered mainly to the greater Johannesburg area, with out-of-town events possible at increased cost due to additional logistics. Through TimeToParty, event planners can discover JK Productions as a versatile supplier for interactive entertainment, technical production and complete event support, making it easier to shortlist a company that can handle both the fun attractions and the practical infrastructure needed for a successful event.
