Event Security

Private parties and celebrations

Birthdays, milestone parties and family gatherings at homes or hired venues, where hosts want gate control, protection of parked cars and someone to handle uninvited guests.

Weddings

Discreet officers who manage the gate, the guest list, gifts and parking, without looking out of place in the photos.

Corporate events

Conferences, product launches, year-end functions and exhibitions, with registration support, protection of equipment and attention to VIP guests.

Concerts and public events

Larger crowds that need entrance searches by consent, crowd management, barrier and stage areas and coordination with the venue and authorities.

• Access control at gates and doors: tickets, guest lists, wristbands and accreditation
• Consent-based bag checks where the event's conditions of entry provide for them
• Crowd management at entrances, bars, stages and exits
• Parking assistance to direct vehicles, keep emergency routes clear and watch over parked cars
• Protection of property such as gifts, equipment, stock and back-of-house areas
• Incident handling: managing intoxicated or aggressive guests, lost property and first contact with emergency services

Where a guest of honour or performer needs personal protection, we add close protection to the plan.

Good event security is decided weeks before the day. We meet the organiser or venue manager to understand the guest numbers and profile, the venue layout, entrances and parking, alcohol service, timing and any known concerns. Where possible we visit the venue.

From there we propose the number of officers, their positions, the briefing, the radio or communication plan and who has the final say on refusing entry. The plan fits in with the venue's own security, the event's emergency procedures and any requirements from the local authorities for public events.

Event officers are PSIRA-registered and screened, and are briefed on the event, the dress code and how to handle guests. We place emphasis on calm communication: most problems at events are solved by talking, not force. A supervisor on site manages the team and is your point of contact on the day.

We help with the last part that is often overlooked: managing departures safely, clearing the venue and protecting equipment until it is collected. Any incidents are recorded and reported to you afterwards. For multi-day exhibitions or festivals, overnight static guarding can be arranged between event days, and valuables in transit can travel with a secure escort.
