The right company can make a party
Anyone who entertains knows the arithmetic of a good night: the venue matters, the guest list matters, but the person beside you matters most of all. A companion with genuine social energy changes the whole weather of an evening, drawing conversation out of strangers, keeping the table laughing, and giving you the ease of arriving with someone rather than arriving alone. That is what our party escorts are for, and London, a city that produces more good parties per square mile than almost anywhere on earth, gives them plenty to work with.
The requests vary enormously. A plus one for a friend's fortieth in a private dining room. Company for a gallery opening or a summer party. Someone bright and unflappable for an awards dinner where you know forty people slightly and nobody well. Each calls for the same core gift: a companion who reads a room quickly and makes it warmer. Hosts book us as often as guests do; a companion who circulates well, rescues stalled conversations and quietly keeps the mood aloft is one of the more elegant forms of insurance an evening can have.
From private celebrations to corporate evenings
Social occasions and professional ones ask for different registers, and our companions move between them fluently. At a celebration among friends, the brief is sparkle: energy, humour, a willingness to dance and to be delighted. At a corporate dinner or a client reception, it is polish: conversation that touches business lightly and gracefully, discretion about everything overheard, and an instinct for when to charm and when to simply listen.
Many of our companions are practised at exactly this dual life. They can discuss the wine list, the headlines and the art on the walls, hold their own with a chief executive or a best man, and never once make an evening about themselves. If your diary includes both kinds of night, the same companion can often accompany you to each, which lends a pleasing continuity to a busy season.
What makes a great party companion
As a high class escort agency we choose for temperament first. Looks open a door, but it is confidence, curiosity and stamina, the cheerful kind, that carry a companion from a seven o'clock reception to a two o'clock last dance with her charm intact. The women we introduce for parties are naturally sociable, quick witted and generous in conversation, at ease being introduced to a dozen new people and remembering every name by dessert. You will find them in our gallery, and we are glad to point out who truly shines in a crowd.
Every companion is personally met and vetted before joining, and photographs are verified, so the poised, engaging person you selected is exactly who steps out of the car. At an event full of your friends or colleagues, that certainty is worth more than any other single thing we offer.
Planning the night
Parties reward preparation, so tell us as much as you comfortably can: the nature of the occasion, the dress code, the crowd, and how you would like your companion introduced, by first name is customary and entirely natural. If a discreet understanding about how you met would be helpful, agree it in advance and it will be kept faithfully. Black tie, cocktail or defiantly casual, she will arrive dressed impeccably for the code and punctual to the minute. A short call or exchange of messages beforehand, arranged through us, can also help; walking into a party already mid conversation with your companion is far easier than making introductions on the doorstep.
Timing wise, a few days notice gives the widest choice for a significant event, though with a few hours we can very often arrange excellent same evening company. Hourly companionship runs from £500 to £2,000 depending on the companion; evenings that run late, or that begin with dinner beforehand so you arrive already at ease with one another, are simple to arrange and often the better plan. Wherever the invitation takes you, from Mayfair to the further reaches of our London coverage, the arrangements travel with you.
After the last dance
Good party company ends as gracefully as it begins. Your companion can leave when you do, stay for the quiet debrief over a nightcap, or continue the evening by earlier arrangement; the choice is settled beforehand so the end of the night needs no negotiation. Discretion runs through all of it. Nothing about the arrangement is visible to your fellow guests, nothing is shared afterwards, and the only trace the evening leaves is the memory of having brought the most engaging person in the room.
If there is a date circled in your diary, send it to us with a line about the occasion, the setting and the sort of energy you want beside you. We will come back promptly with a suggestion or two, and introduce you to the companion who will not just attend the party, but audibly improve it.
