Event staff in Berlin, booked by the hour

From 26 €/h net as a new client, regularly 28 €/h net, minimum 5 hours per person and shift. Night work between 10 pm and 6 am adds 4 €/h, Sundays 2 €/h for the whole shift if it starts on a Sunday, public holidays 5 €/h. With fewer than eight working days between your binding booking and the shift, a short-notice surcharge applies: +2 €/h at six or seven working days, rising to +15 €/h at one day or less. A booking made after 4 pm counts from the next working day. Every surcharge appears as its own line in the quote before you commit.

A staffing provider, not an event agency. We do not plan your event, book venues or supply equipment — we supply the people. We are licensed for temporary agency work under the German AÜG, which means you may direct our staff on site yourself. A service contract, where our own team lead runs the job, is also possible.

Less than most people expect. Of the bookings where we recorded the booking date, 32 % were made seven days or less before the event; the median lead time is eleven days and the shortest on record is one day. We do not promise same-day staffing — there is no case in that data to support it.

A replacement steps in at no extra charge — that is part of the hourly rate, not an add-on. You see who is assigned in the client portal before the event.

Head count is the harder constraint, not the notice period. One person at two days’ notice is usually straightforward; twenty at two days’ notice depends on the date and the role. Tell us the number early even if the details are still moving.

All of our staff speak German, most of them also English — at no extra charge. Say in your enquiry which language your guests will use and we staff for it.

No travel fee inside Berlin as long as an S-Bahn, U-Bahn or tram stop is within a ten-minute walk at both the start and the end of the shift — bus stops do not count. Otherwise 25 € per person and shift; outside Berlin 25 € plus the travel time from the city limit as working time.

Yes. Quotes and invoices can be issued in English. Clients based outside Germany pay the quoted amount in advance, before the first shift — a standing rule, not a judgement on anyone. EU businesses with a valid VAT ID are invoiced without German VAT under the reverse-charge rule; businesses outside the EU are invoiced without German VAT as well, because the service is not taxable in Germany.

Yes, and we prefer it. Where a run of days is known early enough we keep the same people on the job, which is usually what makes the difference in service quality. For recurring demand a framework agreement is the simpler route.
