My children had a great night! My oldest knew exactly where to go when he saw Pilot the Eagle sitting outside the event and ran right in. They had fun and begged to go back when we left. It was so nice to know they were not far away and well taken care of during our event.

Wedding Child Watch
Licensed, professional on-site child watch for weddings — keeping children safe, engaged, and having a real experience so every guest can be fully present for the celebration.
Weddings with children in the guest list are more joyful when the little ones have their own experience running in parallel. SOCWS provides a staffed, themed child watch area at your venue with age-appropriate activities, a snack buffet, and take-home keepsakes — giving parents the freedom to be fully present at the ceremony and reception without a single worried glance toward the hall. All staff are background-checked, First Aid and CPR certified, and experienced managing mixed-age groups in event settings.
Common questions
Does SOCWS do civilian weddings, not just military events?
SOCWS primarily serves military members, units, and affiliated organizations, but considers private and civilian events on a case-by-case basis depending on schedule availability. Contact them directly to discuss your wedding date and guest count.
What is the minimum number of children required for a wedding?
SOCWS requires a minimum of 10 children per event. The maximum is 200, depending on the space available at the venue. Staffing is determined by the contracted number of children attending.
How does check-in and pickup work at a wedding?
SOCWS uses the same sign-in/sign-out procedures at every event. Children are only released to authorized adults listed at registration. You'll coordinate these details with SOCWS when booking through your designated Point of Contact.
