What bulk event staffing is — and isn't

What it is

  • Unarmed presence work: ushering, wayfinding, entrance checks, and parking assistance.
  • Staff are identity-verified through Stripe Identity before they can accept a request.
  • Booked in bulk — 10 to 500 staff for one event, in a single order.
  • Buyer sets the hourly rate; payment is held in escrow until the event is complete.

What it isn't

  • Not licensed security guard services — staff are never armed.
  • Not a substitute for executive protection, fire watch, or armed coverage.
  • Need licensed or armed guards instead? Use XGuard's standard marketplace — for example, event security in Georgia.

Who it's for

Festivals & outdoor events

Gate coverage, wayfinding, and parking-lot presence for county fairs, music festivals, and outdoor community events. Headcounts of 15–60+ match a 10-person minimum well.

Corporate events & conferences

Entry check-in, wayfinding, and general presence support for off-sites, product launches, and conference floors.

Wedding & private venues

Parking assistance, entry check, and guest-flow support for weddings and private event venues.

Stadium & arena overflow

A supplement to an existing licensed security program — flex capacity for gate lanes, parking overflow, and merchandise-line queuing, not a replacement for it.

Frequently asked questions

What is bulk event staffing?

XGuard's bulk event staffing lets you book 10 or more identity-verified, unarmed staff for a single event in one order — for venue and event presence work like gate coverage, wayfinding, entrance checks, and parking assistance.

Is XGuard's event staffing the same as hiring security guards?

No. Bulk event staffing is unarmed presence work performed by identity-verified staff, not licensed security services. If you need licensed or armed guards, use XGuard's standard marketplace instead.

Which states can I book bulk event staffing in?

Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Idaho, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Kansas — the states where this type of presence work doesn't require a security guard license. A few cities inside those states license this work locally even though their state doesn't, so they aren't included: St. Louis, Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Lenexa, Lawrence, and Rapid City. Georgia is live today; the other eight states are expanding.

How many event staff can I book, and what's the minimum?

The minimum is 10 staff per event, up to 500. Below 10, use XGuard's standard booking flow instead.

How far in advance should I book?

Book at least a few weeks ahead. Crews are assembled from verified staff near your venue, and more lead time means a fuller roster.

How is XGuard different from a staffing agency like PeopleReady or Instawork?

XGuard is a marketplace, not an agency: you set the hourly rate, staff are identity-verified before they can accept a request, you get a roster with names and phone numbers before the event, and payment sits in escrow until the work is done — no subscription required.
