MEET ARCHIE

Niemierko Hosts

ON HAND WITH THE HOSTS - ARCHIE

Archie is a must have at a Niemierko Event, with a subtle head down, hard work approach to delivering an outstanding experience. Find out how he once had to serve champagne next to a nude hostess as she sat in a bathtub, and he had to endure a three-day wedding weekend in a fetching purple bell boy uniform…
“Having to focus as I held a heavy palette of paint whilst two ladies stripped, next to me, and covered each other in paint”

Niemierko Wedding that stood out…

The Battersea Park Wedding because of the transformation of the venue. From the outside on a usual day, looks like a warehouse.  However, on the evening of this wedding it was completely transformed into something which resembled a 5-star hotel.  Kitted out with diamond chandeliers, marble check-in desk and starlight walkways. I was on the “check in” desk so could see all the guest’s reactions when they stepped in to see what luxury awaited them. Was crazy to see how different the behind the scenes could look compared to the guests facing side. It was also one of the first Niemierko videos I was in which, was cool to see the sleek video produced afterwards.

The 30th Birthday Cabaret Party you were involved in… 

Being thrust onto the stage, with only minutes to prepare before the curtains are up. A few other boys and I shirtless holding various props for two female performers.  Having to focus as I held a HEAVY palette of paint whilst two ladies stripped, next to me, and covered each other in paint. My eyes with no clue where to look trying hard also not to drop the palette and not laugh or break character.  Whilst in the corner of my eyes I could see all the other boys laughing. Mark has a very funny picture capturing this, sheer look of panic.

What makes a Niemierko Event stand out…

The fact that just anything can happen, nothing is off limits. Be it from semi-nude performances, a nutty Father Christmas, a pole dancing Jesus, drag queens, acrobats ANYTHING. Also, us hosts uniforms, every event and wedding they are different which keeps it fresh and unique not least for us. Boring to wear the same black trousers and shirt every event but with Mark’s events this is not the case from Purple Bell boy outfits, to custom touches like the initials of the venue in collar clips at Battersea.

Funny moments…

Serving champagne in the bathroom of a Penthouse, as a girl host was nude in a bubble bath, bubbles depleting by the minute.   Whilst having to stop one guest from trying to climb into the bath with her!

Most ridiculous outfit Mark has put you in…

Hands down the purple bell boy outfits at Althorp House, which had trousers that ridded so high up your body it left little for the imagination. Also, just the fact of spending three days constantly in a bright purple suit was strange. But overall, it made Mark’s vision come to life – so I got the desired look.

Fav team members to work with at Niemierko…

BIG Chris the security manager. The most intimidating man from the outset, absolutely huge, hands the size of my face and eyes which can intimidate anyone. But finding out when you get to know him – the nicest of guys, a BFG.

Describe Mark…

Unpredictable.
