Event Companion Etiquette: A Practical Guide for Escorts
Showing up at a corporate party, a wedding, or a high‑end gala as an escort companion can feel daunting, but the right etiquette makes it smooth for you and your client. Below you’ll find step‑by‑step advice that covers what to do before you walk through the door, how to act while the event runs, and how to wrap things up without awkwardness.
Before the Event: Preparation and Communication
Start with a quick chat with your client. Ask about the event type, dress code, expected length, and any specific people you’ll meet. Knowing whether it’s a black‑tie affair or a casual rooftop get‑together helps you pick the right outfit and mindset. Confirm the venue’s address, parking details, and any security checks – you don’t want to be stuck at the gate.
Plan your look early. Choose something that fits the dress code but also makes you feel confident. If you’re unsure, ask the client for a photo of other attendees or a brief description of the vibe. Keep accessories modest; you want to complement, not outshine, the host or other guests.
Bring a small kit: breath mints, a lint roller, a discreet pocket‑size perfume, and a charger for your phone. A tidy appearance and fresh breath go a long way toward a polished impression.
During the Event: Behaviour and Boundaries
Arrive a few minutes early. This shows respect for the host’s schedule and gives you a moment to settle in. Greet the host and any key guests with a firm handshake and a smile. Remember names if you can – it’s a simple way to build rapport.
Stay attentive but not clingy. Your role is to support your client, keep conversation flowing, and help them network if needed. Offer a drink, ask open‑ended questions, and follow the client’s cues. If they step away to mingle, give them space; if they stay close, match their pace.Mind your phone. Keep it on silent and out of sight unless you’re using it for a quick reference (like checking the schedule). Constant scrolling or texting can look rude and distract from the event’s purpose.
Boundaries are key. If the client or other guests make a move that feels uncomfortable, politely redirect the conversation or excuse yourself. You’re there to enhance the experience, not to become the center of an unwanted advance.
When it’s time to leave, thank the host and any important contacts. A brief, sincere goodbye leaves a positive final impression. After the event, send a short thank‑you message to your client – a quick “Enjoyed the night, hope it helped” goes a long way toward building trust for future bookings.
Following these simple steps lets you act with confidence, keep the focus on your client’s goals, and enjoy the event yourself. Good etiquette isn’t about stiff rules; it’s about making everyone feel respected and comfortable while you deliver a top‑notch companion experience.
