Why use Security at your Wedding?

Security of your wedding is important due to the duty of care you may have towards others, and sadly, we live in an age of intrusion where social etiquette is lacking, an age where guests don't know how to behave themselves and where celebrity means public ownership to some.

It is not ideal, having to have security at your wedding. If not performed professionally, it will of course add to the intrusion and then it all becomes a bit of a circus and memorable for all the wrong reasons. If you are going to have security officers at your wedding, it is vital that you find a service provider that you are comfortable with, one that can provide you with a personal level of service.

The top five security concerns at weddings?

1. 1. Unwanted guests - Someone "gatecrashing" your wedding party is more than likely going to be the flashpoint of trouble.
2. 2. Violence - With alcohol sadly comes lack of decorum, shortly followed by poor decision making.
3. 3. Theft - Not great to think about this one, but theft is quite high on the list of concerns.
4. 4. Health and Safety - All professional security staff are trained in first aid, some in pediatric first aid.
5. 5. Invasion of privacy - Some newspapers and magazines will go to a lot of effort to get a photo, including using drones.

The Safety of Guests at your Wedding

It is highly important to ensure that all guests enjoy themselves and that the event is safe. There is a legal duty of care to ensure that this is the case, and this is an area often overlooked. Safety needs to be an integral part of any large events and whilst you may not be thinking about it, for sure it's towards the top of the list of any Wedding Planners.

We can work with Venue Management and your Wedding Planners to ensure that your wedding is safe and carefree. Weddings obviously have a different dynamic than other large events, weddings are family affairs that often involve children running around and adults drinking copious amounts of alcohol.
