Event staffing questions

Can I hire bartenders, wait staff and event crew together?

Yes. Put every role and shift in one enquiry and we’ll quote them together.

Can I book just one or two staff?

Yes. Book a single bartender for a few hours, a couple of wait staff for a dinner party, or a full team over several days.

What does an event staffing quote include?

The roles, staff numbers, shift hours and charges. Let us know who’s supplying food, drinks, glassware and equipment.

Can staff work alongside my caterer or venue team?

Yes. Add your caterer or venue contact to the enquiry and staff will take direction from them on the day.

What certifications and uniforms should I specify?

Note any RSA, food handling or venue requirements and your dress code. Branded uniforms and merchandise can also be arranged separately.

Do you support multi-day events and recurring venue shifts?

Yes. Send the dates, locations and shifts, including any changes between days, and we’ll quote the lot.
