We booked 2 officers for our daughter's 17th birthday - They provided great service, dealt with six gate crashers that jumped our back fence, and were excellent with the kids that were actually invited. If we have her 18th at home, we'll get them again.
PS - Looking at some reviews here, there seems to be some very salty children who are upset that the security officers did their job.

We held a Mardi Gras party for my 15 year old daughter at home. We had a team of five from Anchor security attend, they turned away the potential gate crashes with minimal to no fuss, they also walked through the party and kept the party goers in the designated party area. They were all professional and communicated with the kids in a professional and firm manner whilst still being friendly. I had numerous comments of praise from the guests saying they felt safe at the same time as feeling like they could still have fun! I highly recommend Anchor security and we will be using them for all our events

On Jan 31 we hosted the Young Guns Surf Boat Carnival at Collaroy. I am writing to complement the two security guards appointed by Anchor Security to manage the clubhouse event that ran during the day.
Blake and MIchael were excellent in all aspects of the role they were given.
Personable and friendly as well as diligent, ensuring the event went smoothly which is a credit to them personally, professionally and as employees and representatives of Anchor. There were many compliments about them in assisting people to enter the premises. Thank you for your assistance in running a very successful

Anchor provided security for a house party of year 12 kids last weekend ... and my house survived! Fantastic outcome - I even managed to go out for dinner for a hour or two while they managed the event early on. Really fabulous control of the party ... and without complaints from the teens! I managed to have a big party, with no gate crashers, and no incidents or issues of any kind. Can't recommend Anchor highly enough for this purpose.
