Are your event security guards armed or unarmed?+
Stormhammer is an unarmed-only company by design — the right posture for weddings, family events, corporate, HOA, and most private functions. We do not provide armed event guards; for armed needs we refer to a vetted partner.

Yes. Our guards are trained on de-escalation, ID checks at point of entry when requested, and managing intoxicated guest scenarios with the venue's beverage staff. We coordinate with the ABC-licensed bartender or caterer.
