Yes. Washington often combines large association meetings, policy conferences, and public-facing events that require credential checks and screening before guests ever reach seating. We staff Ushers in Washington who are used to working immediately beyond checkpoints, confirming room, section, and row range fast so guests don’t drift into the wrong corridor or portal. A lead coordinates with venue teams on holds, releases, and late-entry windows, and keeps radio updates moving so your program stays on schedule even when arrivals peak right at doors.

We size teams around your layout, active portals, aisle count, and how many decision points guests hit after screening. A typical 1,000+ person program usually needs coverage at each main portal, aisle monitors on the busiest lanes, one ADA route spotter, and a floater to handle seat questions away from entrances. If releases are timed or VIP seating is layered in, we recommend a check-in lead for radio coordination and live rebalancing. Share your seating map and door plan and we’ll propose a post layout that fills evenly and stays calm.

Send the latest seating map, door/hold timing, portal list, ADA routes, and any credential rules that affect guest access levels. In Washington, small access details can change where people are allowed to enter, so we align section language with house management and set clear escalation paths for exceptions. If you have multiple rooms or staggered releases, we’ll build a post chart by portal and row range and define where Greeters should stand to catch questions early, before they turn into aisle slowdowns.

Pricing is driven by call length, total headcount, lead coverage, and layout friction, especially when screening funnels guests into tight corridors and arrivals land in surges. Costs can increase when you operate multiple portals, require controlled late seating, or need extra coverage for ADA routes and VIP holds. If your program includes crowd control needs outside the room (pre-function stacking, queue shaping, or surge redirection), we scope that separately so you get a clear breakdown tied to your plan.

We treat front-of-house flow as one system: registration and security manage access, and our event staffing team manages what happens immediately after guests clear those points. Ushers hold the first decision points, confirm portals and row ranges quickly, and keep aisles clear so seating stays quiet once the program starts. A lead maintains radio coordination with house management for holds and late-entry windows, while floaters handle complex questions off the main line. This is especially important in Washington environments where screening and credentialing are part of the guest journey.
