Teams planned around your event
Large events often need different staffing levels across setup, guest arrival, peak service and packdown. We work from your run sheet, venue layout and role requirements to plan the requested coverage.
Single-day events and multi-day programs
Multiple entrances, bars and activity zones
Staggered starts and different shift lengths
VIP areas, sponsor zones and public-facing services
Coordination with your venue and event management team
Send your event brief for a tailored staffing quote, including any certification, induction, uniform or access requirements.
Plan the right team for every event stage
Staffing numbers shaped around your brief
Guest attendance is only one part of the staffing plan. Your service format, venue layout, opening hours and number of operating areas also determine the team you need.
Share the expected guest numbers and required coverage for:
Entrances, ticket scanning and registration desks
Bars, food service and hospitality suites
Fan zones, sponsor activations and merchandise points
Information desks, seating and directional assistance
Setup, stock replenishment and packdown
We can review your requested role mix and shift structure, then confirm staffing availability and pricing. For larger deployments, include your site map and key service peaks as early as possible.
Event teams matched to your format
Festival, sporting & public event staffing
Different events place different demands on their teams. Origin Five provides staff for customer-facing service and operational support, matched to the activities and guest experience in your brief.
Festivals and live entertainment
Bar staff, food service teams, ticketing assistants, guest information staff and event runners for music, food, wine and cultural festivals, concerts and outdoor events.
Stadiums and sporting events
Support for entry points, concourses, fan zones, sponsor activations, hospitality suites and merchandise areas. Share the match or event schedule so coverage can reflect arrival times, breaks and post-event requirements.
Exhibitions, conferences and expos
Registration teams, guest check-in, information desk staff, promotional teams and hospitality attendants for trade shows, conferences and business events.
Public programs and brand activations
Event assistants, brand ambassadors and guest services for community programs, university events, product launches, roadshows and multi-city campaigns.

How to book major event staff
1. Send your event brief
Include the event name, dates, venue address, expected attendance and operating hours. List each role, the number of staff required and shift start and finish times.
2. Confirm the staffing scope
We review your requirements and confirm availability and pricing. Flag any role-specific certifications, uniforms, equipment, induction or accreditation requirements before the booking is finalised.
3. Share the event instructions
Provide your run sheet, site map, arrival and access details, onsite contact and role briefs so the staffing arrangements can align with your event operations.
4. Coordinate onsite
Staff work to the agreed tasks and reporting arrangements alongside your event team. Keep your nominated contact available for operational questions and changes during the shift.
For multi-day or multi-city events, provide a separate role and shift breakdown for each date and location. This helps us identify the coverage required throughout the program.
