Captains

Nothing rattles a pro.

Worthwhile Captains study your event like a textbook and work calmly under pressure, giving you instant confidence in their abilities—and the freedom to actually enjoy your event.

Relax and watch your vision come to life.

When you and your team work for months planning an event, it becomes something more than just a project. It’s an opus. Your masterpiece, so to speak. 

And while you know you can’t run the show alone on event day, it’s hard to give up control. After all, if you’re going to let someone else execute your plan, you need to know they’re highly qualified and experienced—yet open-minded enough to adapt to your unique way of doing things.

Worthwhile matches you with a talented Captain who not only embodies those characteristics perfectly, but is genuinely invested in the success of your event. From the moment you meet them, you’ll begin to feel the kind of comfort that makes it easy to leave your masterpiece in their capable hands.

Huge thanks to Worthwhile for their partnership at our gala! Every aspect was managed seamlessly, and the Captains were professional, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with.

-Michelle Toledo (Development & Engagement Manager, ARK)

Ready for anything.

It’s important to have a brilliant plan for any event, but it’s equally important to recognize when to pivot from it. Event day always comes with an

unexpected cache of problems, and navigating them requires preparedness, adaptability, and quick thinking.

Worthwhile Captains are uniquely qualified for these situations thanks to their wealth of experience—not only as event Captains, but also as actors. They know better than anyone how to study a script religiously, and how to improvise when things don’t go according to plan.

Less working, more coordinating.

Few things are more frustrating than walking into a room and seeing your Captain helping to set tables while half a dozen staff in the next room stand around awaiting instructions. You pay your Captain to be a leader, not a worker.

Our Captains stay out of the weeds and keep their eyes on the big picture. They know how, when, and what to delegate. And because their acting background makes them expert communicators, those tasks get done right the first time. All you’ll need to do is sit back and watch it all unfold.

An extra pair of eyes and ears.

It’s not enough to have a successful event. After the night’s over, you still need to know what worked, what didn’t work, and what you can do to make your next event even better.

Worthwhile’s post-event Captain Report includes our Captain’s feedback on…

Delivery, load-in, and load-out

✅Rentals, disposables, and/or company-owned equipment

✅Staff quantities and call times

✅The pre-event preparation process

✅The challenges and advantages created by the venue

✅Event setup and breakdown

✅The service plan

With these insights and more, you’ll be able to make informed decisions about how to improve your processes and protocols for future events.

You don’t have to overextend yourself anymore.

If you pour all your energy into every event, you’ll run out of gas sooner than you might realize. Reach out to Worthwhile today, and hire an organized industry veteran to handle your event day workload.

The Worthwhile Staffing team provides top tier services and staff members who have an exceptional work ethic. We worked with a team of 10 superstars, led by Paola who is an incredible leader! Their team works extremely efficiently and with initiative, and our event went more smoothly than we could have hoped for. This was our first time working with Worthwhile - it will not be our last! Shoutout to Kyle and Cameron for building a smart team who produces exceptional results. Thank you!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Worthwhile Events and their staff. They arrived on time, huddled and got right to work. Without my asking, they prepped the bar as well as facilitated guests arrivals, bussing, garbage management and even the smaller details of placing flowers in water upon arrival. The party was a huge success, in large part to their contribution. You have assembled a wonderful team of smart, reliable and kind people. We are so grateful and will absolutely reco your team to friends and family for future events - as well as our own.

Worthwhile is a truly apropos name for this company. From the beginning, Kyle and Cameron were responsive, helpful, and flexible with my asks and schedule. On the day of the event, the staff was punctual, and was so friendly, helpful, and attentive to me and the 200+ guests in attendance. I highly, highly recommend Worthwhile for anyone looking for service for their event.

Worthwhile's fabulous team made our event such a success. Every one of the staff were incredibly professional, kind, helpful, and responsive. And I also truly appreciated Worthwhile's help in figuring out how to have enough staff while keeping our costs in line.

Kyle and Cameron are so fast to respond! With less than a week to hire a bar captain for a private reception with more than 30 people attending, the Worthwhile team made the process very simple, efficient, and easy. Both bar captains we've worked with were professionally dressed, very competent, polite, and showed a genuine helpful spirit when it came to making sure the food/drink service was a success. We highly recommend Worthwhile Events. Thank you!

I just worked with Worthwhile Event Services to staff a last minute event for one of my clients. The entire team they sent was incredibly professional, kind, hard-working and positive. With minimal direction, our event captain was able to take responsibility into her own hands and assess where assistance was needed. I would absolutely work with this team again in the future!
