Wedding Security

I know right? Wedding security, really?

What are they going to do make sure no one sticks their finger in the cake?

Check invitations upon arrival?

 

You may scoff but for some wedding security is a must have and we're not just talking big celebrities!

 

Jealous ex-partners ruining weddings is becoming more and more heard of, not too long ago this article was in the news; Sister Jailed For Wrecking Her Own Brothers Wedding.

 

So is wedding security a step too far or in some cases is it needed?

 I spoke to Ade from Vigilantprotector.co.uk to find out more...

'There are lots of reasons to consider having security at a wedding, expensive gifts, venues with multiple functions at the same time etc, however we find the most common reason is a jealous ex partner threatening to turn up and have their say' says Ade. 'Wedding security offers a covert or overt solution by ensuring that the problem doesn't reach the wedding.' 

 

 

 

 'A wedding we did last year the bride had been harassed by her former partner for 8 years and they just wanted the pierce of mind that they were not going to ruin their wedding day. Another wedding we worked at last year was the Grooms Ex-Wife making threats! Jealousy mixed with a less than amicable split from a previous partner can get emotions running high, then you throw alcohol into the mix and people are capable of doing strange things!'

 

 

'With everyone sharing their lives on Facebook & Twitter, it makes keeping the date or venue secret a lot harder, hence, we get called! Most of our clients choose not to tell their guests about the problems and we guarantee not to disclose it to any venue staff that don't need to know, most just assume it's somebody famous getting married!'

Wedding Security isn't going to be something every couple need or want, but it is looking to be apart of the industry that will start to boom, especially with our lives now being so public thanks to social media.

 

Is wedding security something you've ever considered? I'd love to hear from anyone who has had security at their wedding or is looking to have any! You can contact me here

 

I'd like to thanks Ade from Vigilant Protector (find them on Twitter too) for the information & for bringing up this issue!
