Ushers have a goal of minimizing distractions during the music and sermon. Ushers stand ready to assist anyone in the congregation who might need help, to aid latecomers in finding a seat, and to inform those in the sanctuary of any urgent matters.

Why are ushers important in an event?

Ushers are responsible for enforcing any policies regarding guest behavior, particularly during the ceremony or event. These policies typically refer to any disruptive behavior or activity; for example, ushers remind guests and patrons to turn off cell phones and beepers at weddings and performances.

Why do we need ushers?

The main duty of an usher is to act as a doorman. In other words, an usher's job is to greet guests and show them to their seats. Sometimes, ushers are given a checklist of all the wedding guests and will mark off guests when they arrive, to keep track of attendees and apprehend potential wedding-crashers.
