Party security in Sydney, costs and licensed providers

Party security is one or two licensed guards at a private function: a birthday at home, an 18th or 21st in a hired hall, an engagement, a formal after-party. The job is the front door, checking who is invited, keeping uninvited guests out and settling problems early and calmly. Most private parties need one guard, bigger crowds or licensed venues usually two, and some venues make security a condition of the booking. The maths is simple: guards times hours times the night's loadings, with a four hour minimum almost everywhere. A Saturday 9pm to 1am booking is the classic job and prices at weekend rates. Book a week or more out and availability is far better than ringing around the day before. Answer five quick questions below and see the realistic range before you talk to a single provider.
