Party staff is there to help anyone throwing a party. When you hire staff, they decrease your work by half because they look after everything-that's their work. Other entertainers prefer doing it all. If you're going to hire staff, there are numerous things you've got to bear in mind:
1. How much money have you allocated in the budget for hiring staff? This is going to determine the amount of help you will get. Once you have known how much cash you'll spend, you can go on and decide other essentials for the party.
2. How much staff will be required for your party? There are numerous and different staff such as:
a. Set-up crew from a party equipment store
b. Event planners
c. Band/DJ
d. Wait Staff
e. Clean-up crew
f. Butlers, particularly if it is a formal event
g. Entertainers
h. Caterers
i. Barman
3. Where will you find reliable staff for your party? The best way to get the answer to this question is by word of mouth. For instance, a good friend can tell you about a good Event Planner or a hard working staff. You can also tell somebody about a good DJ in town. Do a serach on the internet, read the newspapers, and ask people around for staff in your location.
4. Meet the party staff days before the party. Talk about all your needs with them and listen to the advice they give you. Tell them the dress code for your party. Tell them if you would like them to keep the dressing black and white, or if you want them to dress according to the theme.
5. Before hiring the caterer, you need to try their dishes personally if the event will be catered. This way, you will make sure that it tastes good. Most caterers have no problem with providing you a sample of the menu.
6. You and your DJ should talk of the type of music you would like, especially if your party is themed. It's going to be very wrong dancing to hip hop at a 50s Rock and Roll themed party.
7. There need to be enough wait staff to attend the guests. Do not harass the staff by making them to serve many guests because they are going to disappoint you at the end of the day.
8. You check the references of your children's entertainers. You have to watch them perform before you hire them.
9. Brief the staff on the number of hours they should work. Do not forget to congratulate them before they leave, even if you paid them.
The party staff will give you the most impressive results if you have clearly told them what you would like for the party. You have got to relax and enjoy the party as you are just getting the services you paid for. But don't harass the staff because you have paid to get their services. You ought to show them some respect instead so they will be willing to come again.
