A good usher has a background in customer service, which helps them better assist guests or patrons. Additional qualifications include strong communication skills, a friendly personality, and knowledge of all theater safety rules and regulations.

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.

They take note of any known doctors or nurses in attendance, should anyone need medical assistance during the mass.
