"So I've recently been given the amazing opportunity of hosting a BBW evening at my favourite club and the first 2 parties have been great, however I feel I could give more as a host. My question is what would guests like from their host? I currently do show rounds for new members and shots for everyone who comes in but apart from that I stand around like a spare part and feel like I should be doing more but I don't know what... Any suggestions would be greatly received "Basically, you just have to help people to feel comfortable. Chat to people, welcome them and help them out if they have any questions. | |||

"Introduce any nervous singles and couples to groups that are chatting, try to make sure nobody is just sat on their own x" Thank you, I actually did that with a lovely lady who braved the club alone after her 4 friend bailed  I will be sure to mingle more and make sure people are OK  | |||

"I’ve been hosting Buxom Babes at Townhouse for a couple of years, as well as Milf Monday. There’s no real trick to it, just treat it like you would if you were having a birthday party with friends & family! Be yourself & engage with people. Once your tours are done, mingle & chat to people. Introduce people Be enthusiastic, let people see you’re enjoying hosting the event & dress down so that anyone feeing nervous about it can see you’ve already done it. And don’t play while you’re on duty!! Sounds like you’ve got most of the basics down anyway! Good luck!
M x"Thank you thank you 
I wondered if wearing a name tag would help as I don't book guests in, i just stand there so some people might not know I'm the host!
Shall definitely dress down early as I didn't last time and I noticed bit many others did either, who wants to get their lingerie on if even the host doesn't get semi naked!
Would never play on duty, big no no
Thank you again x | |||

During the night, we like our hosts to be social butterflies and mingle with the guests, maybe introduce people to each other and ensure nobody is left sitting on their own, unless they prefer it that way. We nearly always have more than one host, in fact at a recent event, there were about 7 of us I think (not including bar staff) as it was so busy and we all had specific tasks! (I run a tight ship! lol cringe)
I prefer our hosts not to drink heavily!!! Everyone likes to have a drink and at some events, our hosts 'clock off' and then the night is there's to enjoy as they wish' However, at some events, they are on duty all night and nobody likes to see a pissed hostess!
Most of our hosts don't play while they are on duty, unless they have been given a 'clock off' time. I prefer this, especially at a private hire event, as the host/hostess is running the event and they should be there for their paying guests and especially there at the reception to thank people on the way out and make sure they enjoyed their night. If they have a 'clock off' time, then that's different and often there is someone else to take over or see the guests out etc...
Our hosts/hostesses all wear a name badge and a Townhouse lanyard, so that they are easily identified as part of the team and new guests can find them if they have an issue or a burning question.
Not all hosts/hostesses dress down and it's not expected. However, it's nice to see hosts relaxing into the night and dressing down as it can encourage the guests to do the same. I would NEVER make this compulsory though as some nights, you're not feeling your best and dressing down may be the last thing you want to do and can affect your ability to do your job. I want our hosts/hostesses to feel comfortable and confident to do their job and if that means keeping their clothes on, then I am cool with this. At the end of the day, we have a Dress to Impress dress code, so our hostesses always look immaculate anyway.
I hope this helps a little.

"ok, let me give you a club owner point of view. When I look for hostesses, I am drawn to the following qualities: I prefer people to be well groomed and care about how they look and smell and feel confident in their skin. Our hosts/hostesses are often the first person who greet guests on the way in and poor hygiene would be very offputting. First impressions make a MASSIVE difference. This shouldn't even have to be said, but believe me, it does! I like our hosts/hostesses to be able to write good adverts and/or reply to forum posts and questions with good English. Some people don't care about good grammar and I've heard 'I want a shag, not grammar nazi'. However, hostesses represent the club and the club wants to be seen as professional. So I would say, your job doesn't just start on the night of the event, it starts during the marketing of the event and how you present yourself online is really important and can actually attract people to your party. As for the event itself, I want a host/hostess who arrives in a timely manner and isn't flustered. They should be relaxed and relatively stress free, so they can welcome their guests without wiping sweat from their brow because they ran in the door 2 minutes before the door opened! lol Hosts/hostesses should be a people person or at least come across as such; nobody likes a quiet wallflower for a host! lol You should be able to slap a genuine smile on your face, leave the troubles of real life at the other side of the door and be really 'present'. Greeting your guests with a genuine smile, a warm welcome and making them feel like they are the most important person in the club at that very moment is paramount. We ask our hosts to do tours and all have tour training as there are important things to get across but not in a military manner!! Tours need to get the info across in a way that is 'these are the rules, don't break them' but in a way that is non threatening and for the greater good. It's not just about showing people the rooms...I had this in a club last year and I didn't learn a thing about the club, just what the purpose of each room was!!!

"Introduce any nervous singles and couples to groups that are chatting, try to make sure nobody is just sat on their own x" this... although I rarely officially host these days it is the part of what I do that gets mentioned the most about when I do. I will take time to introduce newbies to other regulars that i think maybe a good connection or at least not leave people sat by themselves. Sounds like your doing well though | |||
