From 50-guest private parties to 300-person weddings and larger events, BIG GUYS AGENCY staffs events with BSIS-registered guards chosen for presence and trained to read the room. Your guests should feel looked after, not policed.
The right number of event security guards depends on more than guest count. BIG GUYS AGENCY considers the size and layout of the venue, number of entrances and exits, alcohol service, VIP areas, guest flow, event duration, and any areas requiring controlled access.
Our goal is to provide enough coverage to keep the event organized and secure without making guests feel over-monitored.
| Event Size | Typical Staffing |
|---|---|
| Under 100 Guests | 1 to 4 Guards |
| 100 to 300 Guests | 4 to 10 Guards |
| 300 to 750 Guests | 10+ Guards and One Supervisor |
| 750+ Guests | Custom Security Plan and Site Walk |
The staffing guide above provides a starting point. Final staffing depends on your venue, guest count, access points, alcohol service, VIP areas, event format, and other security requirements.
For example, a 150-person wedding with one controlled entrance may require a different security setup than a 150-person production event with multiple access points, talent areas, vendors, equipment, and alcohol service.
Depending on your event, our security staffing plan can include:
For larger events, concerts, festivals, and complex venues, BGA can conduct a site walk before the event to identify access points, high-traffic areas, restricted zones, and other security considerations. The result is an event security plan built around your venue, your guests, and the way your event actually operates.
BIG GUYS AGENCY provides professional event security services throughout Southern California for private, corporate, entertainment, and live events. Our event security guards are selected for professional presence and trained to protect people and property while maintaining the atmosphere of the event.
Large gatherings require organized crowd management, clear access points, and security personnel who can identify problems before they disrupt the event.
BGA can provide event security guards for concerts, festivals, live performances, and other public gatherings, with coverage for entrances, guest areas, restricted zones, backstage spaces, and crowd movement.
Corporate events require security that is professional, presentable, and coordinated with the event team. We provide corporate event security for conferences, product launches, company functions, entertainment premieres, red carpet events, executive gatherings, and other professional functions throughout Southern California.
Coverage can include guest verification, access control, VIP areas, restricted spaces, and coordination with venue personnel.
Security at a private event should protect the experience, not take it over. Our wedding security and private event security guards help manage entrances, guest access, property boundaries, alcohol-related incidents, and unexpected disruptions while maintaining a professional and respectful presence.
From intimate private parties to 300-person weddings and larger receptions, staffing is adjusted to the venue, guest count, and level of coverage required.
Production environments have their own security requirements, including expensive equipment, restricted locations, talent areas, crew access, and changing schedules. BGA provides security coverage for film and television production sets, location shoots, studios, equipment areas, talent spaces, and controlled production zones.
Our team can coordinate with production personnel to help keep authorized areas secure without interfering with the production workflow.
Event security often begins at the entrance. Our guards can support guest screening, bag checks, credential verification, controlled entry, restricted-area access, and orderly guest flow based on the requirements of your event and venue.
Once guests are inside, our security personnel remain alert to crowd behavior, developing conflicts, unauthorized access, and other issues that may require early intervention. When an issue does arise, the objective is straightforward: address it professionally, de-escalate whenever possible, and protect the safety and experience of everyone attending.

Event security works best when everyone knows the plan before guests arrive. BGA coordinates with designated venue staff, event planners, production teams, and other client contacts as needed to establish responsibilities and communication procedures.
Depending on the event, coordination may include:
The goal is to integrate security into the event operation without creating unnecessary disruption for guests or staff.
It is rare, but if a scheduled guard does not arrive, contact BGA headquarters immediately so we can address the situation and arrange appropriate coverage.
