Event security for private receptions and brands

For hosts of private parties, luxury houses, agencies and the organisers of weddings, launches and fashion shows.

Screening without weighing on the evening

The security of a private party is judged by what the guests do not notice. Entry went without a queue, nobody came in without an invitation, the photographers stayed where they were put, and the last guest found their coat. Our event security is designed for exactly that: holding the entrance and the flow of people with a team that has the dress and the tone of the occasion.

We work on private receptions, weddings, birthdays, product launches, press dinners, fashion shows and brand events. The host may be a family, a luxury house, a gallery, an events agency or a venue. Depending on the case, we work alongside the wedding planner, the production manager, the caterer, the valets and, where the venue requires it, the safety committee.

In a venue open to the public, we supply the SSIAP fire safety officers the regulations require. In a villa or a private mansion, a team leader and a few officers in plain clothes are usually enough.

What is included

  • Guest list, named invitations, wristbands or QR codes: we hold the door with your tool. A refusal is made quietly, to one side.

  • Valets, shuttles, taxis, arrivals by boat or by helicopter: we organise drop-off, waiting and departure so that nothing builds up outside the entrance.

  • A dedicated area, accreditations, an escort for accredited photographers and courteous distance for the others. Our officers take no pictures.

  • Cloakroom, backstage, equipment store, works on display, guests' bedrooms: an officer keeps watch while the party goes on elsewhere.

  • Dark suit, evening wear, summer or mountain dress. You choose, we comply. No uniform and no armband unless you ask for them.

  • For venues open to the public, we supply the SSIAP 1 and 2 fire safety officers required by the regulations and by the venue.

  • The team stays until the last guests and their drivers have left, then hands the venue back to its manager after a closing round.

On quotation, an arrangement written with you.

This service does not come in a pack: we build it from your premises, your hours and your guests, then we quote it.

Event security

On quotation

An event is costed on the plan: number of guests, access by road and by sea, length of the evening, the venue's requirements. We propose a screening and flow arrangement to match, with fire safety officers where the venue requires them, and a quote within 24 hours.

Each pack is quoted within 24 hours, with no commitment. Night, Sunday and public-holiday surcharges are set out in the quote.

Event security: your questions

How many security officers do I need for a party of 200 guests?

It depends on the venue, the number of entrances, the running order and the guest profile. After the visit we propose a precise deployment. For a reception in a villa, a team leader and a few officers are often enough.

Do your event security officers wear a uniform?

No, unless you ask. They dress to the event's dress code so that screening does not break the atmosphere. The team leader is introduced to your guests as a member of the organisation.

How much does event security cost in France?

Every event is quoted individually, according to the number of officers, the hours, the duration and the qualifications required, SSIAP for instance. Nights between 21:00 and 06:00, Sundays, public holidays and requests at less than 48 hours' notice carry a surcharge. Answer within 24 hours.

Can you work in a venue we are hiring?

Yes. We coordinate with the owner or the venue's production manager, respect the house rules and complement the venue's own arrangements if it has any.
