Event Security

    I'm currently organising an event for about 500 patrons in the Crowned Plaza Northwood. We are told we need 1 security guard per 100 patrons which total 5. All security must be licenced. We will probably need these working from about 7pm - 2am this is working out very costly for us as we have very limited funds available.


    I am completely novice in this territory and am open to all advice. I was wondering where is the best place to look for tenders for security an what would the average cost of a security guard per hour in Dublin.


    All help and comments are welcomed.


    Regards,
    Ciaran Devine

    are you sure you need only 1 per 100 …. sounds a bit thin to me .

    have you contacted private security firms ? asked for quotations ?

    I have contacted one or two but I'm finding it very hard to find firms which provide this service.

    I was also thinking 1/100 was small but I'm not going to complain as it will work out cheaper.

    you'll also have to ensure public liability insurance - in the event someone trips and falls !!

    the only problem is time - normally you need to book these type of people weeks/months in advance - of you pay over the odds.
