Hiring a date for the occasion — explained

How to choose a hired date

3 min read

Choose for the room, not for a type. A wedding needs someone easy with a table of strangers and a long day; a work party, someone comfortable with colleagues and small talk; a formal dinner, someone at home with a dress code.

What matters most

  • Ease with people she has never met
  • The languages spoken at the event
  • Comfort with the dress code — black tie, a ceremony, a gala
  • Stamina for a long occasion: a wedding can run ten hours

What matters less than you think

A photograph. The evening goes well because she is good company and has read the brief, not because of how a profile picture was lit.

A man in a brown jacket and his date, a woman in a cream jacket, laughing side by side in a dry meadow with trees behind them.
Easy company, no pressure on either side.

Let us suggest

Tell us the occasion and who will be there. We will say who we think fits and why; the choice stays yours, and she still chooses whether to accept.

Frequently asked questions

Can she match a dress code I send her?

Yes. Put the dress code in the plan; if it needs something she does not own, agree it before the day.

Can I speak to her before the event?

Ask for a short call or message in your request; the first meeting in person is always in public before the event.

What if nobody suits the date?

Then nothing is booked and nothing is owed. We will tell you honestly if a date is hard to fill.
