Francesca DeFranchis, Founder FS Event Staffing
Great events fall apart for one reason more than any other: the staffing wasn’t right.
Maybe the team was undertrained. Maybe they showed up late—or didn’t show up at all. Maybe they weren’t briefed on the client’s expectations, or the headcount shifted and no one was prepared.
That’s why FS Event Staffing was created. To be the partner event professionals can count on.
We staff with intention—matching the right team to the right event—and we lead with clarity, courtesy, and professionalism from first quote to final breakdown.
Whether you’re planning a high-profile gala, an intimate wedding, or a fast-paced brand activation, you deserve a team that enhances your reputation—not one that puts it at risk.
We provide staffing for a wide range of events, including corporate events, weddings, private parties, product launches, trade shows, festivals, and more. Our team is experienced in handling events of all sizes and styles, ensuring a professional and seamless experience for our clients and their guests.
Our versatile team can fill various roles to meet your event needs, including bartenders, servers, hosts and hostesses, registration staff, brand ambassadors, event coordinators, security personnel, and more. We tailor our staffing solutions to fit the specific requirements of your event.
We have a rigorous recruitment and training process to ensure our staff meets the highest standards of professionalism and quality. Our team members are carefully selected based on their experience, skills, and dedication to customer service. We also provide ongoing training to ensure they are up-to-date with the latest industry trends and best practices.
To ensure we can accommodate your staffing needs, we recommend booking as early as possible. Ideally, you should contact us at least 4-6 weeks before your event. However, we understand that sometimes last-minute requests are necessary, and we will do our best to accommodate them whenever possible.
While we are based in New York City, we also provide staffing for events in New Jersey and Connecticut. Please contact us to discuss the details of your event, and we will work with you to find the best solution for your staffing needs.
(And Why They Matter More Than Ever)
September hits hard. After a quiet summer, the event calendar explodes—galas, fundraisers, weddings, campus events, brand launches, all overlapping in the same tight window.
You’ve done this before. But even experienced planners can overlook the small things that quietly derail an otherwise flawless event.
Here are three reminders worth keeping top of mind as fall kicks into gear.
The run of show looks great on paper—but between cocktail hour and dinner, or speeches and dancing, things start to drift.
Why it matters:
Guests lose momentum fast. Staff go missing. AV lags. What seemed smooth becomes awkward. Guests won’t blame the schedule—they’ll just feel like something was “off.”
How to stay ahead:
Assign a transition captain. Someone whose only job is to float, manage the flow, and keep the event moving without constant instruction.
You assume your team knows the tone. They assume someone else told them. Meanwhile, a staffer enters through the wrong door, misses a VIP cue, or interrupts a quiet moment because no one shared the flow.
Why it matters:
Even the best teams need context. Without it, they’re just warm bodies in branded black. With it, they elevate the whole experience.
How to stay ahead:
Hold a 3-minute pre-event huddle. What’s the tone? Who’s in the room? What’s one thing that absolutely needs to go right? You’ll be surprised how much smoother things run.
You’ve got servers, bartenders, a lead—you’re good, right? Until the line at coat check backs up, no one’s restocking water, and a guest wanders into a restricted area.
Why it matters:
It’s the invisible stuff that derails the visible stuff. The small gaps cause friction guests feel, even if they can’t name it.
How to stay ahead:
Add one extra person whose job is “where needed most.” Floaters are your silent heroes.
This isn’t groundbreaking—it’s just the stuff that slips when you’re juggling a dozen things. A few small adjustments now can save major headaches later.
If you need a backup plan, a few extra hands, or just someone who speaks fluent event chaos—we’re here when you need us. Let’s talk.
