Events & Social

Events and social bookings are company for an occasion: a wedding, a launch, a party, a gala, an awards night, a concert. The companion is your date for the event, in public, with the social ease that makes the evening work, and whether the booking continues afterwards is on her profile. Companions who list here are comfortable in a room full of strangers, dress for the occasion and know how to be introduced.

How an event booking runs

Book well ahead, with the date, the kind of event, the dress code and the hours. Tell her who you will be introduced to as (most clients say "a friend" or "my date") and anything she should know about the room. You cover tickets, transport and any costs of the evening; her rate covers her time, usually as a block for the event's length. To the room you are two people at an event; the arrangement stays private.

Being a good date

Introduce her by the name she gives you, include her in conversations, do not leave her stranded with your colleagues, and pace the drinking. Our etiquette guide covers the rest, and the dinner date guide applies to most of the evening. For what is on in your city tonight, see the Tonight page.

Common questions

Can I book a companion as a date to a wedding or work event?

Yes; that is what this category is for. Book ahead with the date, the event, the dress code and the hours, and tell her how you will introduce her.

How much does an event booking cost?

Usually a block rate for the event's length, similar to a dinner date for an evening. You cover tickets, transport and costs on the night. Each profile states its own rates.

Will she stay afterwards?

That depends on her profile and what you book. Many companions offer the event as a social booking, with time afterwards as a separate part of the booking; ask when you enquire.

How do I introduce her?

By the name she gives you, as whatever you agreed: a friend, a date, a partner. Keep the arrangement private; to the room you are two people at an event.
