GuardNOW

Best security service in town! Hands down the best experience we had for our four day festival. Not only were they always quick to respond, the team was extremely professional and knew exactly what to do whenever something came up and required attention. Robert, Brian and Tony are just a few who we know for a fact are the elite securities you would want for any occasion.
During our festival we needed security not only during the daytime but the night, when everything closed down, that’s when security was needed most. Nothing was stolen, nothing was broken into, these guys knew how to crack down on a decent spaced venue.
Everyone on their team were as sharp as it gets, it almost felt like we had the police force at our disposal. Don’t hesitate to call them for any personal security needs to event security needs.
Definitely the best security team we have used and we have been around for 40+ years, so trust me when I say they are good!
We will be using them again and again, there’s no doubt in my mind our business friendship is forever sealed.

We hired GuardNow to provide security to a major Persian festival in Woodley Park. Where we were expecting more than 5000 people and the VIP guest was the mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti and Congressman Brad Sherman. We found out that the security guards at the gate were pocketing the tickets and then re-​selling them on the side. Because of that, we lost major revenue and our event had a not made the money we needed to cover the expenses. When we brought this to the attention to the owner of GuardNow Mike and Afsoun, they totally ignored and did not investigate the issue. Last time we called the owner to inquire what they have done to fix this problem so it does not happen to anybody else, she hanged up the phone. Do not trust GuardNow and do not let them to serve you. We do not recommend them at all.

Hired GuardNow for my sons 1^st birthday which was a Rockstar theme. We needed a security guard hired due to HOA requirements. I outline everything with Jennifer with what I was looking for and what the guard was suppose to do. Give wristbands to adults and backstage passes to kids in attendance of the party, we wanted a male guard to ensure it was a «rockstar» VIP experience feel. She reassured me that this was doable
Did I get this? Nope. The guard who showed up was a woman in her 60’s and she was instructed by my party planner and myself on 3 occassions what she was suppose to do. Did she do this? Nope, she wristbanded non party going guests and kids and gave backstage passes to adults. Mind you wristbands were given to make the adults feel apart of the experience and so the bartender could identify who was over 21 to serve alcohol to.

I have finally found a security company that I can fully trust to have my events go flawlessly! What is funny is that I found out about them through a gossip magazine. At first, my thoughts were that they only covered high profile clients/​celebrities and would be ridiculously out of my price point. Curious as I am and thankfully, I decided to call them about a fundraising event I was hosting at a colleague’s house for a high stakes poker night. They gave me a few quotes for a guard but I wanted a full team since the event was riding on a thin line of a lot going wrong. Once I had spoken to the managing team to discuss the details of the event, where I needed the guards, etc, they were in complete understanding and stated that they would brief each and every guard so I could continue planning my night knowing that security would be covered.
The day of the Poker Night the Guard Now Team arrived on time and were fully aware of what their duties were. Having a high stakes poker night brings many complications. We had a few incidences that the supervisor reported at the conclusion of the event. There had been a few outsiders that had tried getting into the event without invitation. The Guard Now guys immediately escorted the outsiders to the street before they could even get to the door. They had also taken care of an altercation between two people before they interrupted the guests. I do not know of other complications that they smoothed out. What I respect most about their work is that they took care of everything before I became aware of it.
I will definitely book them for my next event. Thank you Guard Now!
