Hire event hosts for every part of the day
Six ways our host staff are booked. Take one role, or build a whole front of house team on a single booking, briefed once and managed on the day.
Book event hosts →Conference hostesses
On the front desk and in the corridors of a programme day: confirming attendees on arrival and pointing people to the right room between sessions. For a full organiser-side team, see conference staff.
Corporate hosts
Awards nights, launches and company-wide events, looking after guests front of house from the door to the seating plan. For the wider occasion, our corporate event staff page covers the rest of the team.
Launch and showcase hosts
Product launches, press days and showroom previews: the first person a guest talks to, and the one who introduces them to your team.
Hosts for VIP guests
For the people you most want looked after: met on arrival, escorted to where they need to be and kept informed through the event.
Front of house hosts
Cloakroom, wayfinding and information points across large venues, so guests always have someone to ask and your own team is free to run the event.
Team leaders
On larger bookings a team lead runs the team on site, liaises with the venue on the practical running of the day and is your single point of contact from doors to close.

What our clients say
How to hire a host from brief to sign off
Four steps, and they do not change whether the booking is one event host for a morning or a team across three days.
Tell Us The Event
Venue, dates, hours and how many people you need. If you already know the guest list size or the running order, send that too and the team is sized from it.
Itemised Quote Back
Usually back within hours, with every day rate, every hour and every on-cost shown separately, nothing hidden, and how you are billed settled in the quote before anything starts.
Match And Brief The Team
Our operations team matches people to your brief by skill, experience and where they live, starting with the hub nearest the venue. Everyone goes through a briefing session built from your brief before the event.
On The Day
Reminders go out before each shift, everyone checks in on site and attendance is watched live, and the booking has its own project manager, contactable 24/7. If you want reporting, that is settled before the booking is confirmed and written into the quote.

Event hosts London wide, and your other questions
What the role covers, what it costs, how fast it can be staffed, and how a London booking compares with one anywhere else in the UK.
What does an event host do?
An event host is the guest-facing face of your event: greeting people at the door, confirming them against the guest list, handing out anything they need, pointing them to the right room and answering the questions your own team is too busy to take. Our host staff are briefed on your event before they arrive, so they can talk about it as if it were their own.
Do you supply event hosts in London?
Yes. We supply event hosts London wide through our London office. As a hostess agency, London brands book us for launches, awards nights and multi-day programmes, from one person for a morning to a complete front of house team. Wider requirements sit on our London event staff page.
How do I hire a hostess for an event?
Send us the date, the venue, the hours and the brief, and we come back with a quote, itemised and usually within hours. Event hosts for hire at short notice are possible too: call the office and we will tell you what we can do. The more notice we have the better, but short notice bookings are taken.
What is the difference between an event host and a brand ambassador?
One looks after guests who are already coming to your event. A brand ambassador goes out and creates the interest, at an activation, in a store or out in public. If you want people met at the door of an event, that is a host booking. If you want people engaged with a product or a message, see our brand ambassadors page. For arrivals booked as a role on its own, see meet and greet staff.
Can you supply conference hostesses and corporate hosts?
Yes. Conference hostesses work the front desk and the corridors of a programme day, and corporate event hosts look after guests at awards nights, launches and company-wide events. Both are booked here. If you need the whole organiser-side team rather than front of house alone, our conference staff and corporate event staff pages cover it.
What does hiring an event host cost?
The role, the venue, the hours and the headcount all move the number, so no host agency can give one figure that fits every event. Every quote is built from your brief and fully itemised, so you can see what each person and each shift costs before you confirm.
Is the team briefed before the event?
Yes. You complete a briefing form, we build a tailored briefing document from it covering your event, your guests, your key messages and the venue layout, and everyone goes through a briefing session before the day. For very large events, virtual or in-house training sessions with you and the team are available too.
How many event hosts can you supply?
From one person to a team of 100 or more. Established in 2007, we match every booking from our 6,000+ registered staff. Event hosts for hire can cover one venue or several cities on the same run, with one point of contact throughout.
