Roles we place

The people behind a good events and weddings operation.

  • Banquet captain

    Runs the floor, times the courses, talks to your planner so you do not have to.

  • Banquet server

    Synchronized service, tray skills, clears without being noticed.

  • Bartender

    RBS-certified, fast, gracious with a line of thirsty guests.

  • Setup and breakdown crew

    Tables, chairs, linens, lighting, load-in and load-out on schedule.

  • Valet and parking attendants

    Valid California license, clean record, good with a narrow winery drive.

  • Greeters and coat check

    The first faces guests see.

  • Event porters

    Restrooms, trash, water stations, the details that keep a venue looking right.

What we screen for

Vetted before you meet them.

Every candidate is interviewed in person and reference-checked. For this category we also verify the following before day one.

  • RBS certification for anyone behind a bar.
  • Black-and-whites or your specified uniform, checked before dispatch.
  • Two event or hospitality references.
  • Physical readiness for a ten-hour day on your feet.
  • A reliability record. We track every no-show and do not send anyone with one.
  • Driving record checks for valets.

Questions

Questions about events and weddings staffing.

All questions and answers
Is there a minimum number of staff?

No. One bartender for a rehearsal dinner is a real request, and so is a forty-person team for a Saturday wedding.

How far in advance should I book event staff?

Two weeks is comfortable. In season we hold vetted standby crews, so 48 hours is often possible. The earlier you call, the more choice you have.

Do event staff come in uniform?

Yes. Black-and-whites by default, or the uniform you specify. We check every person before they are dispatched.
