Have you ever found yourself in need of a few helpers at a private family party?
Has your planned event shrunk in size because of the current social distancing regulations?
Are you planning a big event in the future and need lots of staff to help out?
If so, we’ve got you covered!
Only In My Dreams Events LLC is proud to provide staffing for any event need you may have. All of our staff members are aware of and prepared to enforce/comply with all COVID regulations.
What type of staffing do we offer?
Day-of Coordination: We will have someone there at your event for a minimum of 5 hours to help make sure that everything is managed just so! The coordinator acts as the glue to keep all the pieces of an event together. You won’t need to worry if it’s time for the food to be served, the music to start, or the cake to be presented. Your day of coordinator will make sure that everyone is working seamlessly in the background so that you can truly be present at your own event.
TIPS Certified Bartenders: Our bartenders all have TIPS certification so they know just when and how to serve your guests. Never worry about someone knowing how to make that special drink or when it’s time to switch someone to something non-alcoholic. Our bartenders all have training and will make your drink service rise to the next level.
Full Service Wait Staff: Our wait staff are all experienced working with events large and small. They can do everything from set up, break down, and serve and clean during the event. If you’re having just a few friends over to dinner (socially distanced of course), why not have someone there to clear the table and wash up all the dishes? These staff member can also bring and remove any rentals that are needed for your specific gathering.
Pre & Post-Event Cleaners: This is likely more at the top of mind now than ever before. If you need to have someone come to clean your space in preparation for an event, or you want to have an event cleaned up so it looks like it never happened our cleaners are there to assist,.
Please reach out to us at staffing@onlyinmydreamsevents.com to let us know what your needs are and we will happily help your event run smoothly.
Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions that you can also find at www.onlyinmydreamsevents.com/staffing.

Q: Who manages the Waitstaff and Bartenders while they are on site?
A: This depends on the event. Often it is either the host of the event or a planner/coordinator for the event that the host has hired like Only In My Dreams Events. If you don't need any total day of coordination, you can hire a "staff manger" who will be the point person for a rate of $50/hr.
Q: Are you able to provide bartenders for cash bars?A: At this point, we can only provide bartenders for open bar events and can offer other bar staff for one with cash bars.
Q: Does the hourly rate include travel time or just time at site?
A: The time billed is only based on the hours spent on site.
Q: Do you carry insurance?
A: If you would like to be covered under our insurance there is an additional $75 fee. This only includes work done by our staff and does not include any liquor liability.
Q: What do I need to secure a date for an event?
A: A 50% deposit is due at contract singing and the remainder is due one week prior to the event. Any additional hours worked will be billed by us within five days of the event.
Q: Is there a minimum number of hours or staff I have to hire?
A: No, we are able to provide you with any number of staff for just the time needed.
Q: How far in advance do you need to know my needs?
A: Demand for servers can be very different on a given date, so if you give us at least a month's notice we will do the best we can to provide the servers you request. Please note the closer the date is to the request date, the less likely we will be able to provide servers to fill your needs, so please reach out as early as possible.
Q: Does staff come to my home/location before the event?
A: Yes, we can have one or more staff visit your location – the flat fee for this is $100.
Q: What will staff wear?
A: Staff will wear white tops and black bottoms unless otherwise requested.
Q: Should I tip?
A: Tipping is appreciated for quality service, but it is totally at your discretion.
Q: Will holidays affect my rates?
A: There are only a few holidays that carry an extra fee, as these are the dates our staff would most like to spend time with their family and friends. These dates are 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Other than Day-Of Coordination which is $1000 (with each additional hour $100) all other staff members carry a $15 per hour additional charge.
Q: What is the next step?
A: Once we hear from you, we will send you a questionnaire about the event and decide on the best staffing plan. We will then forward a contract with specifics of the event.
