How to have a Happy New Year

When panicked parents ring days before a party, wanting my help, I assume they’re willing to follow my expert recommendations.

This does not mean you can:

• Put your child in charge of an event.


• Pick and choose the recommendations you want (e.g. ditch my alcohol management plan and let kids come and go as they please).


• Dictate what security staff can and can't do. Your guests and my staff are my priorities.


• Take the dog for long walk during the event you’re supposed to supervise.


• Get smashed at a ‘grown-ups’ party while your child’s event is in progress.


• Undermine experienced security staff by believing ridiculous gatecrasher lies, then expect us to remove these unwanted guests when they turn violent.

Having handled 700+ parties, my team and I know exactly what we’re doing.

You want a Happy New Year?

I’m striving to give you one by keeping you and your family safe.

How about you?

Thanks for reading in 2013.

I hope to see you next year!
