Job Description

Job Title:

Freelance Event Assistant – Onsite Only (Weddings, Corporate, Galas & More)

Job Type:

Freelance / Per-event

Location-based (see list of top cities below)

About the Role:

Are you polished, proactive, and thrive in fast-paced environments? We're looking for experienced freelance event assistants to support top-tier planners at luxury weddings, corporate functions, galas, and more. This is an onsite-only , hourly role—no remote work, no virtual tasks, and no hybrid assignments. You’ll be the extra set of hands, eyes, and poise that helps event days run flawlessly.

We are launching a new platform that connects vetted event professionals like you with planners who value experience and professionalism.

What You’ll Do:

  • Provide onsite event-day support (e.g., setup, guest flow, cueing vendors, executing timelines)
  • Work directly with event planners to ensure smooth production
  • Maintain a polished, professional presence at high-end events
  • Stay calm under pressure and adapt to last-minute changes
  • Represent yourself and the planner with excellence

What We’re Looking For:

  1. Prior hands-on experience assisting or working directly for an event planner. Not that prior experience is essential.
  • Punctual, well-spoken, and professional demeanor
  • Organized, calm, and confident under pressure
  • Comfortable working long shifts on your feet (think: 6–12 hours)
  • Willingness to travel is a plus (but not required—be honest about your preferences)

Top Locations We’re Actively Hiring In:

  • New York City
  • Boston/Martha's Vineyard
  • Philadelphia
  • Los Angeles
  • San Diego
  • San Francisco
  • Napa Valley
  • Colorado
  • Dallas–Fort Worth
  • Houston
  • Chicago
  • Charleston
  • Miami
  • Palm Beach
  • Atlanta
  • Washington D.C.
  • Nashville

Ready to Join?

We’re currently gathering qualified talent in preparation for platform launch in early 2026. If selected, you'll be among the first assistants onboarded and connected to active bookings.
