Start Aide’s Cutting Agency
A very good way to enter the market and the specific sector of events and parties, is to start a hostess agency. The aides are a group of mostly men, who perform a series of acts of protocol and presentations in order to harmonize and improve the entrance of a bride or a couple, but are more typical in the 15 years parties to accompany the entry of the honored.
List of main service businesses here
Let’s see what it is and how you can start this kind of business.
Who is it aimed at?
We can offer our business to entertainment and event agencies, as well as to individuals and clients directly. This from the services that you offer to events, mainly we find: marriages, degrees and 15 years old parties.
How it works and acts of protocol
If you do not have knowledge in the field, you can hire a person to provide you with their services temporarily on the practice of military actions and positions to teach the first aides your court will have in the acts of protocol. These are usually handled with the next act of protocol:
Street of honor for the entrance of the honoree(s) (quinceañera, fiancé(e)s, or who is celebrating a degree). Then follows the entrance of honor (change of position of the aides) for the entrance of the little pages, aides with roses, parents, godparents, etc., depending on the event.
With the sabers, a dome of honor is made for actions such as the change of the shoe, delivery of the ring, toast, delivery of roses to the aides and some words from the hosts.
Afterwards, the balsam begins, in the case of the 15 year-old honorees, which is carried out by the court of aides as the roses are delivered to the honorees.
Once the honoree returns to her main position, she begins taking pictures with positions and changes of the court with the honoree and her family for the memory.
How do we start our business?
Get the aides
Once you have the person who is going to train the aides directly, who may be a graduate or know about military careers, military services, etc., it is time to look for the personnel who will be part of the aides’ court for events. We will complete 16 aides, including 13 of the same suit, two of higher rank and direction and the aide. Please note the following:
They should preferably be of tall stature
As it’s an elegant and military service, they must have short hair
Their presentation must be exceptional (considering that you will be giving them the costumes)
They don’t need to be experienced but always willing to learn and commit to what they do
Edecana: You may have noticed that we are talking mostly about men, since they will be the ones dancing with the honoree and so on. However, for logistics and delivery of roses, as well as organization, it is necessary to have an edecana who will take care of it. The hostess must also comply with the requirements mentioned above.
Place of operation
One of the most important advantages of this type of business has to do with the location, since it is not necessary to have a place open to the public or an office, as well as to be located in a central area, because we have the possibility of starting it at home, if there is an area to store the uniforms and where the aides can change, since it will become the meeting place for everyone.
NOTE: We need to have a place to rehearse and prepare for the aides, you can take into account spaces such as terraces and parks where they can move around more easily.
Costumes and materials (Expenses)
These are the expenses you will have with an agency of cut of aides for events, these can vary and some repeat in each service:
Suits: The uniforms are mainly composed of a warrior, white pants, black patent leather shoes or boots, a kepis and a saber for each aide. In the case of the higher ranking aides who lead the group, the warrior and the trousers are worn in black and with the same other elements. For the aide, a warrior, a white skirt, a kepi and a pair of patent leather shoes with low heels are used.
Complements to the uniforms: Each aide must wear dark socks and white gloves, in the case of the aide she must wear veiled socks and their respective hairstyle elements, in which the hair is gathered in a black net.
Other: The roses are usually carried by the aide’s agency, although the party hosts may have the roses ready beforehand. You will also need a transport service such as a van, which you can buy for as little as 8,000 USD, although you can also hire one if you wish. You will have to take care of the washing and cleaning of each one of the costumes, so you will have to ask for a laundry service.
Promote your service as a hostess agency

Traditional Advertising: Consists of all types of advertising that is most recognized by the public, such as flyers, ads and business cards that are given to guests who require it after finishing a service, agencies and event organizers, among other potential customers.

This company focuses on image work, so it always recruits staff with an attractive physical image, thin build and good posture. You don’t have to be so beautiful, but you do have to be different, perhaps a little exotic, having great civility, kindness, and a good attitude towards the public.
It is also necessary that the staff works with a lot of responsibility and professionalism. Being patient and the work requires the exposure of the person, of the expression and personality, being willing to be photographed or filmed when changing clothes, among other aspects.
Problems that can appear: Even with the best organization prior to the trip to the place of the event, the fulfillment of the necessary services and others, there is always the possibility that some of the aides for some particular reason, is missing, which risks the quality of the presentation before the guests and the client.
Final recommendation: The ideal is that we have at hand another court of aides complete or with young people of reserve that can attend in case some of the main court must be absent, this way we guarantee the totality of the court and we do not compromise the quality of our service.
