Staffing for St. Louis celebrations

A useful staffing plan follows what happens at your gathering. Explore the guides below, then choose the roles and hours needed for your own guests, venue and schedule.

Guests raising their glasses at a reception
Make time for the people you invited

Find your occasion

The same event name can mean very different work

Guest flow

A rolling open house needs a different serving rhythm from a seated dinner. Tell us when guests arrive and which parts of the program happen together.

Food and service

Describe the actual meal and beverage plan. A buffet, passed appetizers and a plated dinner create different tasks even when the guest count is the same.

Venue and traditions

Share your venue’s rules and your family or organization’s instructions. We plan from the brief you provide rather than making assumptions about the occasion.

Planning a wedding?

Use the dedicated wedding guide for reception staffing, caterer coordination and setup-to-cleanup timing. Include the ceremony only when you need specific arrival, seating or transition support there too.

Tell us what your event needs

Send the date, venue, guest count and a short description of the work. Our office will review your request and follow up. If the event is urgent, call or text after submitting.
