Book private party security in London for a house party, a milestone birthday or a private hire room. Across Central London, an SIA-licensed, DBS-checked officer is usually on site within the hour. Officers keep the door, hold the guest list and keep the end of the night calm. Book tonight or weeks ahead on WhatsApp, with no contract.
Officers have the same legal powers as any member of the public. They can refuse entry and ask people to leave on your behalf, and a bag check only happens with the guest’s consent, as a condition of entry.
| Where the party is | Main risks | Who to book |
|---|---|---|
| Your home or flat | Uninvited guests, damage, private rooms, neighbours | One event security officer per entrance |
| Private hire room in a pub, bar or restaurant | Walk-ins from the public bar, drink-related trouble | A door supervisor, as the premises licence may require |
| Garden party or marquee | Open boundaries, hired kit left out overnight | An officer on the gate, plus an overnight guard |
| 16th or 18th birthday | Invites shared online, alcohol brought in, crowds outside | Two officers, with a sober adult host on site |
If the venue sells alcohol, check its premises licence conditions or ask the manager what security it expects. Bigger function? See event security or wedding security.
Use WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or the Sparta Guard app.
Send the address, date, start and finish times, guest numbers and whether there is a guest list.
SIA-licensed officers near you get the job straight away.
Show the officer the entrances and private rooms, and name one sober host who makes decisions.
Also tell us the dress code, whether officers should be visible or low-key, and anyone you already know should not be let in.
There is no fixed ratio. As a starting point, one officer per entry point covers most house parties. A second officer can check the garden or deal with a problem without leaving the door empty. If the party has been posted online, book more.
Their daughter’s 18th has been shared online. Two officers hold the front door and the garden gate, and the party finishes on time.
The venue asks the host to supply a door supervisor for the private entrance. One is booked the same afternoon.
A hired sound system and furniture stay in the marquee overnight. One officer covers the gate during the party and a 24-hour security guard stays until the hire company collects.
The price depends on how many officers you need, the hours, the day and the notice you give. We confirm the price before anyone is dispatched.

Yes. You can book one or more SIA-licensed officers for a single evening at your home, with no contract. Send the address, times and guest numbers on WhatsApp. Across Central London an officer is usually on site within the hour, so a last-minute booking is possible.
Officers check guests against your list or wristbands and refuse entry to anyone not invited. On your property they can ask uninvited people to leave on your behalf. If someone becomes aggressive, the officer keeps your guests safe and contacts the police.
It depends on the venue. Every officer we send holds a front-line SIA licence. At a pub, bar or venue licensed to sell alcohol, the premises licence may require SIA door supervisors, so check the licence conditions or ask the venue manager before you book, and tell us what they say.
Only with consent. Officers have the same legal powers as any member of the public, so a bag check can be a condition of entry and a guest who refuses can be turned away. Tell us in advance if you want checks, so the officer can explain the rule politely at the door.
Yes. Tell us whether you want a visible officer at the front door or someone low-key who blends in with guests. Many hosts choose smart black clothing, so officers look like part of the event team.
