Q: How Many Stewards Does My Event Need?

While, as a general rule of thumb, we recommend 1 steward per 100 guests, this is entirely dependent on the type of event you’re running, whether alcohol will be served or not, and the environment you’re using to run your event. If you’d like to learn more about how many stewards we’d suggest for your specific event, get in touch with our expert operatives today.
