Your guests, our priority.
When Mwangi stepped into the grand ballroom of a luxurious Nairobi hotel, he felt a wave of nervousness. It was his first corporate awards dinner, and the venue seemed overwhelming with its sparkling chandeliers and the hum of excited conversations.That’s when Anne, one of the ushers from Ushering Excellence, approached him with a radiant smile. “Good evening, sir. Welcome to the Annual Corporate Awards. May I assist you with your seating?” she asked warmly.
With a welcoming attitude, Anne checked his invitation, handed him a program, and explained the evening’s itinerary. She then gestured to her colleague, Joy, who would escort him to his table.
Creating a Welcoming Atmosphere
As Mwangi followed Joy, she casually chatted about the event. She mentioned the keynote speaker and hinted at a surprise for later. By the time he reached his table, Mwangi felt more at ease and was looking forward to the night.
This is what ushers do: they create the right atmosphere. Ushers are often the first people guests encounter. A friendly smile, an attentive ear, and a little professionalism can transform an anxious guest into a confident participant.
For Anne and Joy, guiding Mwangi to his seat wasn’t just about logistics. It was about making him feel valued and welcomed.
Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of an Usher
Earlier that day, Anne and the rest of the Ushering Excellence team arrived at the venue hours before guests. Alongside Brenda, the team leader, they reviewed seating arrangements and rehearsed the evening’s flow.
When a last-minute change came in, Brenda took charge. She directed the team to shuffle tables to accommodate unexpected VIPs. “It’s all about keeping things smooth,” she said. “Guests don’t need to see the hustle; they only need to feel the warmth.”
A Lasting Impression
At the end of the night, Mwangi wasn’t just thinking about the awards or the entertainment. What stayed with him was the welcoming experience. “From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was among friends,” he told Anne as he exited. “You’ve made this an unforgettable experience.”
And that’s exactly what ushers do. They aren’t just there to guide guests. They create an atmosphere of warmth that lingers long after the event.
