welcomer
Friendly entrance host
A welcomer is someone who greets or receives others, especially in an official or designated capacity.
Churches, stores, and events often station welcomers at entrances: The welcomer handed us programs as we walked in.
The term can also describe anyone naturally inclined to make others feel at home.
