It was high drama when T-Mobile CEO John Legere crashed mobile device competitor AT&T’s swanky event at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January, 2014. The fact that Legere showed up uninvited was one thing, but to make matters even more juicy, the story gained intrigue because he was escorted out by AT&T security, threatened with an arrest for trespassing if he didn’t comply. When the two huge bouncer men came around, the T-Mobile CEO was left with no choice but to leave.
To borrow from a 1960’s hit song, it’s my party, and I’ll throw you out if I want to. People love to try to crash a high-end party. Some do it for the thrill of not getting caught (or the thrill of getting caught). Some just aren’t on the level of the guests, and want to see how it might feel in their shoes. Others, for example reporters, might try to get in as guests of guests, meaning they weren’t invited themselves. Then you have competitors, like Legere, just looking to draw attention. Still yet, you have the politically-extreme spectrum – spies.
In any case, the point is you have every right to vet your guests. And your guests have every right to feel like they are being protected from outside infiltrators, for any reason.
What a Private Security Bouncer Does For You
Should any wrong-doing occur, a bouncer’s job is to remove the perpetrators. When you have a private security bouncer (or several) at your event, you’ll reap benefits.
Here’s a list of top reasons to hire bouncers:
1. Maintain security control. The event’s importance is made all the more clear when a high level of security is present.
2. Provide peace of mind to the event attendees. The appearance alone of a bouncer makes guests feel more at ease.
3. Ensure guests feel comfortable, socially. Especially at a lavish event, they can rest assured that the other attendees, like they, are really meant to be there.
4. Keep up your own bar. Private security bouncer presence allows people to rely on your level of organization and worth.
5. Keep your bar legal. It’s illegal for anyone under 21 to be in public possession of alcohol even if they are not purchasing it. A bouncer can check ID’s and warn anyone under age about approaching your private bar.
When planning your next big event, consider the value of hiring a private security bouncer or bouncers. By beefing up security, your guests will be even more pleased with the main aspects of the happening. Simply put: They’ll have a better time.
