01

Make sure a guest is welcome

Check the organiser’s rules before asking a companion to attend. Named invitations, accreditation and assigned seating can affect entry. Share the programme, public meeting point and expected conclusion. The companionship arrangement cannot override a host’s guest policy or provide professional credentials.

02

Choose a truthful introduction

Decide how you will introduce the companion in language that feels accurate to both people. Avoid inventing a relationship or a workplace role. Explain dress expectations and the kind of occasion without forwarding private guest lists or confidential invitations. A respectful plus-one should understand the setting before accepting.

03

Plan the interval and the finish

A performance may include time before the curtain, an interval or a brief discussion afterwards. Describe which parts you want to share when requesting the quote. Confirm tickets, hospitality and independent return travel. A late programme does not imply a private or overnight arrangement, and extra attendance needs mutual agreement.
