General Questions
What information should I provide?
The more details you can provide about your event the better. What is the event? Exact Location, staff hours (inclusive of training pre shift or end of day tasks), how many staff, what are their duties etc.
We are booking out 2-3 weeks in advance for smaller events and 4-5 weeks for large scope or multi-day events.
We can accommodate pretty much any market in the US and Canada given enough notice.
We do not provide a lookbook. We hand select your team based on your specific needs and availability of our team. We will send you a staff link prior to your event with headshots of your secured team. If requested we can supply sizing, bios and more. Rest assured that we will secure the best team possible.
What should I do?
