We hired Marquez because of his law enforcement background and experience as a former police officer, and he did not disappoint. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He remained calm throughout the entire event, even though it was a loud and chaotic party at times. He handled everything professionally and never got overwhelmed. He was approachable and even entertained some of the guests during parts of the night while still maintaining a professional presence. He looked the part, acted the part, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend him for any event security needs.

Marquez was extremely professional, punctual, and easy to work with. He arrived on time and carried himself in a calm, respectful manner throughout the entire event. He maintained the perfect balance of being present without hovering over guests, which made everyone feel comfortable and at ease.
He interacted with guests in a friendly and approachable way while still clearly maintaining a professional presence. He was attentive to what was going on around him and handled everything smoothly without being intimidating or disruptive to the atmosphere of the party.
At the end of the night he even made sure the parking lot cleared out safely before leaving, which we really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Marquez and would definitely book him again for future events.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My event security pricing varies depending on the type of event, guest count, location, hours needed, and level of coverage requested. Each event is quoted based on its specific needs.
A 50% deposit is required to secure the date, with the remaining balance due 48 hours prior to the event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new client, I begin by discussing the details of the event, including the date, time, location, and any specific security needs or expectations. Once everything is confirmed, I provide clear pricing and answer any questions to ensure we’re aligned.
On the day of the event, I arrive early, coordinate with the client or event staff if needed, and maintain a professional, low-profile presence to ensure the event runs safely and smoothly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a law enforcement professional with 6 years of real world experience, including working the 4pm–12am shift in a busy city in Springfield, Massachusetts, and 2 years working in corrections. My training includes police academy certification through the Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC), which covers areas such as public safety, conflict resolution, situational awareness, and emergency response. During my time in law enforcement, I also received a commendation for disarming an armed individual during a dangerous situation.
