Information

 

So How Does It Work?
We have an online google calendar that you will use to update your availability. Once a month, we will send you a list of upcoming events available and we will assign the ones that suit you. These events are a mixture of weddings, engagements, birthday parties and corporate functions. Once you are selected for an event, you will receive an email with all the information, start time, end time, client details and complete address.

The booths are picked up from our Sacramento warehouse and delivered to the event across Sacramento, Napa, Sonoma, Lake Tahoe and San Francisco Bay Area, so you must be comfortable with driving.They are easy to maneuver and requires some heavy lifting. Although our packaged booth weights about 40lbs, so you”ll need to be able to lift that to waist height

So What Will I Be Doing?
1. Delivering the booth one hour or more before the event hire period begins.
2. Setting up the booth (training provided).
3. Be an amazingly fun attendant for the booth for the duration of the event providing friendly, customer service.
4. Pack down the booth at the end of the event and return to the warehouse.

Sounds Great! How Will I Get Paid?
​Pay starts at $15/hr. You will be paid for the booth hire period plus travel to and from the warehouse to the event. So basically, you get paid from the moment you pick up the booth at our warehouse up until you drop off the booth after the event at our warehouse. We also account for mileage and all tolls and parking. We pay our attendants twice a month and you will have to fill out official time sheets. A short event would be a 5 hour local event and long event can run up to 10-12 hours.

What Should I Wear?
Black pants and a smart black top/smart casual is generally fine. Comfortable shoes is a big plus! We will always let you know if you need to dress up for the occasion.

Our Perfect Attendant Is:

• Professional, well spoken, polished, well presented and understands our luxury brand
• Bubbly, engaging, friendly and helpful
• Enjoys events, parties and weddings
• PC and tech savvy
• Loves driving alone and all over the Bay Area
• Independent but can also be a team player
• Dedicated, dependable and hardworking
