Private & Corporate Event Security: From Invitation to Last Departure
The Blackwolf Group Global plans and runs security for weddings, birthdays, gala dinners, launches and summits, from the moment the guest list is final to the moment the last guest leaves. Our event work runs from a private dinner for twenty in an Ikoyi home to a brand summit for two thousand in London. Every event starts with a check of the venue and the risks, never with sending in guards.
Private and company events bring together important guests, valuables, media and people you do not know, all in a short space of time. That is exactly what makes them a security challenge. The hard part is rarely protecting the host. It is the outer edge, who gets in, the photo line, the gift room, the parking, the fireworks area, the children's area and the moment when 800 guests all head for the same exit. Blackwolf's event planners build the plan around what matters most to the host, not around a standard template.
