What counts as a private event?

Anything invitation-only: private dinners, anniversaries, closed launches, charity evenings and members' functions.

Can you handle press or photographers turning up?

Yes. It is managed by controlling arrival points and access rather than by confrontation.

Do you sign confidentiality agreements?

Yes. We do not name clients or discuss assignments, and we are happy to formalise that in writing.

Protection

Private Event Security

A private event is defined by its guest list. Secure the list and the door, and most of the rest looks after itself.

What this is: Private functions — dinners, anniversaries, charity evenings, closed launches, members' events — are not public events with fewer people. The whole model rests on knowing who should be in the room.
Who it's for: Hosts and organisers of closed, invitation-only functions.
Where we work: Cotswolds · Gloucestershire · London · UK · Worldwide

Invitation-only, and staffed that way

Private functions — dinners, anniversaries, charity evenings, closed launches, members' events — are not public events with fewer people. The whole model rests on knowing who should be in the room.

We build the plan around accreditation and the door first: how guests are checked, who handles plus-ones, what happens with suppliers and press, and who has authority to say no on the night.

Discretion is the deliverable

Clients at this level are usually paying for the event not to be discussed afterwards. Officers are briefed accordingly: no photographs, no names, no talking about who attended.

Where guests are recognisable, we also think about arrival points, where cars wait, and the sightlines a photographer would use.

Between private cover and full event security

This sits between our private party work and full event security. If your requirement grows to a ticketed audience or a public gathering, event security is the better fit; if it narrows to one individual, close protection is.
