How to book event staff
From your first enquiry to event day, we keep staffing simple.
Event staffing, made simple.
Book bartenders, wait staff, event crew and front-of-house support for corporate events, private functions and venues. One Events works with Event Staff Australia to help you find the people you need, with a clear process from enquiry to event day.
01. Tell us what you need
Share your event date, venue or location, staff start and finish times, and the roles and headcounts you need.
Include details about the event, service style, duties, access and dress requirements so we can prepare your staffing quote.
Request event staff across Australia and New Zealand through one enquiry, with staffing supported by Event Staff Australia.
02. Review your staffing quote
We review your requirements and provide a quote outlining the staff roles, numbers and shift times for your event.
Check the details and follow the booking and payment instructions supplied with your quote to confirm your booking.
If your requirements change, contact us so we can review the staffing arrangements and any updated costs.
03. Get ready for event day
Confirm the venue address, arrival instructions, on-site contact and the duties your team will be carrying out.
Staff details are usually provided approximately 24 hours before your event. Keep your on-site contact available to welcome the team and provide a brief at the start of the shift.
Your staff will support the agreed roles and shift times, helping you look after your guests and keep the event moving.
Event staff hire: your questions answered
What staff can I request?
Book bartenders, wait staff, event crew, registration and front-of-house staff, and ticketing staff. Tell us the duties and headcount for each role so your quote matches the support you need.
What information do you need for a quote?
Send your event date, suburb, city and state, staff roles and numbers, and start and finish times. Add your venue details and any service, uniform or access requirements.
Can I enquire if I do not know how many staff I need?
Yes. Share your guest count, service style, event schedule and the tasks you need covered. Tell us what your venue or caterer already handles, including food service, drinks, arrivals and clearing. You can start an enquiry without guessing a staff headcount.
When will I receive staff details?
Staff details are usually provided approximately 24 hours before your event. Please ensure we have the correct on-site contact and arrival instructions.
Can I book for a private function or venue?
Yes. One Events supports corporate events, private parties and hospitality venues across Australia and New Zealand. Explore Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and New Zealand event staffing. Include your full venue address and request any additional event services separately from the staffing duties.
How do I request a quote?
Send your event requirements through the quote form, or contact us at contact@eventstaff.au or 1300 555 311.
Should I include setup and pack-down?
Yes, when those duties are part of the role. Give the staff arrival time, briefing or preparation tasks and the finish time after clearing. The guest-facing event hours may be shorter than the staff shift needed to complete the work.
Can I request several dates or staff roles together?
Include all dates in one enquiry, with separate rows or clearly labelled details for each role and shift. A conference registration team, evening bar team and next-day pack-down crew should each have their own duties, headcounts and times.
What should I prepare for the staff briefing?
Provide the venue address, arrival point, onsite contact and a concise role brief. Include the run sheet, service instructions and guest arrival process where relevant. Explain the equipment or systems supplied by your team and where staff should direct questions requiring an organiser’s decision.
Can staff work with my existing suppliers?
Describe what your venue, caterer and event organiser already cover, then list the additional tasks required. Explore event staffing and services if you need support across several parts of the event.
Start your event staffing enquiry with your location, dates and requirements.
