What our clients say

We believe in building long-lasting relationships with event organisers by delivering professionalism with a personal touch. Here’s what just a few of our clients have shared:

Thanks for sending over Dan and Waqas on Saturday. They were both fantastic – very personable, friendly, and reassuring. They were perfectly suited for our event, which went off very well, but we felt very supported that if there had been any trouble they would have handled it in a sensible and safe way. Thanks so much for your help.”

Andrew Falconer

Piper Music (Blackpool Pride 2025)

This was head and shoulders above anything we’ve had before. All staff were professional, on time, polite, and did their job without being micromanaged... Pride is always a harder event with the threat of hate, but Capricorn did it amazingly.”

Jon Briest
