WHAT DO USHERS DO AT EVENTS?



Many clients are always curious to know why they have to spend extra cash on getting more hands when they obviously know that caterers will be bringing their waiters, the drinks vendor will bring their waiters also to serve drinks, so the ready-made question springs up in the mind, “why should I spend more money on getting ushers”

The answer to the above question will give you a proper insight and also satisfy your curiosity. Either you are having a private event with just a few numbers of guests or a large event with more guests on your list. You need ushers.




This is your event and those coming are your guests, taking care of everyone by yourself will spell unwanted worries and headache for you and you as the celebrant should not be found running around, worrying about who has not been taken care of. You should be having fun with your family and friends, you have had to spend lots of money on food and drinks, then it is also imperative that you spend a bit more to make sure all the goodies prepared for your guests get to them.
It will be disappointing to find out that some guests were offended and were not attended to properly.
This is why you need to hire the right hands, which will be your extra eyes and ears on your big day.

Welcoming and Sitting of Guests.
Ushers are the first point of contact; they warmly welcome your guests from the entrance of the venue and also take them to their assigned seats.

Ensuring every guest has been served.
Ushers are placed at strategic points at the venue to supervise the serving of food and drinks. They identify guests who have not been served, and also guests who came late and needs to be taken care of.

Easy To Reach
Unlike other vendors or waiters who are not always at the reach of guests, ushers are easy to access and are at the beck and call of guests. They are there to answer questions, direct guests to the convenience and go on quick errands within the venue of the event.

Personal Assistant
Ushers also act as personal assistant to the celebrant or bride and groom. As the celebrant, you may be on stage or with friends who you don't want to leave without company. An usher by your side helps you with things you may need for you and your guests.

Souvenir Distribution
This is usually a delicate matter at events. You need to hand them over to a trusted person. Some prefer to give family members this responsibility especially if the souvenirs are for a selected few. If the souvenir is for all the guests, It is better to hand them over to someone neutral who will share them without bias. This means all your guests will get their gift packs as long as there is an adequate number to go round.

Security
Ushers are also good for security purposes, they are aware when a guest gets up from the table. Some guest asks them to keep an eye on their things while they quickly get up to dance or greet.

Event Coordination
A well-coordinated event is an event that has been thoroughly planned, with people hired to bring the event to execution from start to finish.
Because ushers are involved in every stage of the event it reduces any chance of mismanagement.
