Post: wedding & venue security

“I have worked with Carl and Made Man Enterprises for many years for wedding/venue security, and he continues to be my first call.”

Renee Converse · Google review, 5 stars

That is Carl in the vest, walking the couple across the vineyard while his second guard drives the cart. The guests never wait on security. Security waits on the guests.

“If You’re Not VISUAL, No One Will Remember You!” Carl prints that line on the services page, and it is the whole method: an officer people can see at the door does most of the work before anything happens.

Duty roster

Four posts Carl has worked, in the words of the people who hired him.

Every one of these comes from a review or a testimonial the client left. Different nights, same job: be seen, be early, stay until the last car leaves.

Court papers · served and proved

Three attempts, a call after each, proof mailed to the court

Basic service includes three attempts at the locations and times the client directs. Carl phones after each attempt and mails proof of service to the client and the court. Regular turnaround is 3 to 4 days; rush is 1 to 2.

Specializing in

Six kinds of post. One phone number.

Carl builds the detail around the job: one officer at the door of a baby shower, a team for a several-hundred-guest youth event, a plain-clothes officer in a boardroom. Security pricing depends on the event, occupancy, length of time and how many officers it needs.
