Sound familiar?

Planning an event is hard enough.

The problem

Five vendors, five phone calls.

How Ares fixes it

Officers, FDNY fire guards and executive protection from one team, on one quote, with one point of contact.

The problem

Not sure what the FDNY or the venue requires.

How Ares fixes it

We tell you what your event needs, from fire guards to crowd posts to credential checks, and put it in writing before the day.

The problem

The guest list has names that matter.

How Ares fixes it

VIP and talent arrivals handled by executive protection officers, with credential and guest list control at every door.

Your team

Big-event experience, built into every team.

Ares was founded by a former detective in the NYPD Intelligence Division who created the department's Special Events Liaison program, ran security operations for Google's New York City headquarters, and worked U.S. presidential visits and coordinated security for visiting heads of state during the United Nations General Assembly.

That experience shapes how every Ares team works: officers briefed on your venue before day one, a supervisor on larger teams, and a 24/7 operations desk behind them.
