April is a women-run, private event plus-one and social companion service, for adults who value company, confidence and discretion.
How many invitations have you quietly turned down — the wedding, the work dinner, the opening night — not because you didn't want to be there, but because you didn't want to walk in on your own?
We've done it too. Between the two of us, more events than we'd care to admit: declined, or left early. Not because going alone is something to apologise for — it absolutely isn't — but because some evenings are simply easier, and more fun, with the right person beside you.
Then we noticed how much that one thing changes an evening — someone easy to be with. Not a date. Not a performance. Just good company, so the occasion is something to enjoy rather than get through.
That is April: private, strictly platonic company for the occasions you'd simply rather not attend on your own — for anyone over 30, whoever you are and whoever you'd like by your side. Public venues, vetted on both sides, discreet from the first enquiry to the last goodnight.
We are two award-winning businesswomen with decades in business between us. You won't find our names on this page — we practise the discretion we promise, beginning with our own. (Serious enquirers and press are welcome to verify our credentials in confidence.)
— The Founders, April
Care and companionship services support daily living and wellbeing, often for older adults; they aren't built for black-tie weddings, theatre nights or private dinners. Concierge firms arrange tables, tickets and logistics, but rarely a vetted, polished plus-one whose whole purpose is to make the evening feel calmer and easier. Adult agencies operate in an entirely different world.
April is something else: a women-run, private plus-one service for strictly platonic social company at public occasions — vetted adults, clear boundaries, and evenings arranged in advance for people who value discretion and good company. There's nothing to join; you simply book the occasion you have in mind.
Being women-run shapes how we vet clients, how we set boundaries, and the attention we bring to safety and comfort. Companions are supported by people who understand what makes an arrangement feel safe — and clients can trust the service is run with genuine care, not as a faceless transaction.
Every booking takes place in a public venue. This is fundamental, not incidental. Public settings keep the service unambiguous, comfortable and safe, and clearly separate April from anything resembling an adult, escort or dating service.
April covers Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Cheltenham and the surrounding areas, and will travel further for the right occasion by arrangement, with travel quoted separately. We know our home city's restaurants, theatres and event spaces inside out, and bring that same care to every evening, wherever it takes us.
Travel further afield can be arranged with a little notice, with any additional planning and fees agreed clearly in advance.
Booking begins with a short, private application. We would be glad to hear from you.
