The first impression of any event is shaped by who guests meet at the door.
Prices marked ++ exclude 10% service charge and 11% government tax. Prices marked all-in already include those charges. Your quote confirms the calculation, inclusions and fixed, itemised total before you commit.
Start with the arrival schedule, guest count, languages and tasks you need covered. Greeting guests, checking a list, coordinating seating and serving drinks are different responsibilities; agree which belong to the host and which need other staff. This guide helps you prepare that brief and compare suitable candidates.

Guest Reception and Welcome -- Your hostess meets guests at the entrance, confirms their names against the guest list, offers a welcome drink, and directs them to the right area. The first 60 seconds of any event are the most important; a professional greeter makes them effortless for everyone.
Event Flow Management -- Beyond greeting, an experienced hostess monitors the room: noticing when drinks run low, flagging service issues to the event manager before guests notice, keeping the timing on track, and ensuring no guest is left without direction. This frees you to host rather than manage.
Information and Navigation -- At larger venues or multi-room events, guests need orientation. A hostess provides it naturally without making the event feel bureaucratic. Table seating, bathroom locations, programme timings, menu explanations -- all handled smoothly.
VIP and Protocol Handling -- For events with VIP guests, executive attendees, or cultural sensitivities, an experienced hostess manages the protocol: correct titles, appropriate greetings, physical guidance, and discreet communication with the event lead about VIP movements.
Brand Representation -- For corporate events and brand activations, your hostess is the face of your organisation for arriving guests. Presentation, language, knowledge of the brand story, and consistent messaging all require briefing and experience. Our hostesses are trained to represent your brief accurately.
Departure and Send-Off -- How guests leave is as important as how they arrive. A farewell hostess ensures guests receive any gifts or documentation, transport arrangements are clear, and the final impression matches the quality of the event itself.
Corporate Dinners and Gala Events -- Executive dinners, award ceremonies, corporate retreats, and formal gala evenings where professional reception and protocol management is non-negotiable. We typically place 1 hostess per 30--50 guests for smooth flow.
Brand Activations and Product Launches -- High-energy brand events where hostesses serve as the first point of contact, brand ambassador, and information hub simultaneously. Product knowledge briefing, on-brand presentation, and the ability to work a room confidently are standard.
Luxury Villa Parties and Celebrations -- Private celebrations at Bali villas -- milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, bachelorette events -- where a hostess adds a layer of professionalism without making the evening feel corporate. The tone is warm and personal rather than formal.
Wedding Welcome Receptions -- The pre-ceremony or cocktail-hour period where guests are still arriving, orientation is needed, and emotional energy is high. A calm, experienced welcome team makes this transition seamless for everyone, including the couple.
Conference and Summit Registration -- Day-long or multi-day events where registration, badge distribution, information desks, and session management all require dedicated professional staff. We staff registration teams with both hostesses and host coordinators.
Hotel and Resort Events -- Restaurants and hotels hosting private dining events, exclusive pop-ups, or curated experiences often need additional front-of-house staff who understand luxury hospitality standards. Our team integrates with existing venue staff seamlessly.
We do not supply volume hospitality staff. Every host and hostess we place meets a specific standard:
English Fluency -- Clear, articulate communication with international guests is a baseline requirement. For multilingual events, we can source staff with additional languages (Mandarin, Japanese, French, German) with advance notice.
Luxury Hospitality Training -- All our staff have worked in luxury hotel, restaurant, or event environments. They understand pacing, discretion, when to be visible, and when to step back.
Event-Specific Briefing -- Before every event, hostess staff receive a full briefing: guest list, programme timeline, key contacts, venue layout, protocol notes, and brand guidelines. They arrive prepared, not guessing.
Professional Presentation -- We provide wardrobe guidance for each event type. A beach wedding has different presentation requirements from a corporate product launch. Our staff adapt accordingly.
Experience With International Guests -- Bali's event guest lists are international by nature. Navigating cultural differences in greeting, protocol, and personal space with grace is a skill developed over real hospitality careers, not a one-day training.
Tell Us the Event Brief -- Venue, date, start and end time, expected guest count, event type, and any specific requirements (VIP protocol, multilingual needs, dress code, brand guidelines).
We Recommend a Team Size -- Based on your guest count and event type, we suggest the number of hosts and hostesses and their roles (entry greeter, room hostess, registration coordinator, departure host).
Briefing Call or Document -- For corporate and brand events, we conduct a briefing call or receive your event brief in writing so staff arrive fully prepared.
Day-of Coordination -- Our event lead coordinates with your event manager throughout the day. Any adjustments to flow, timing, or setup are handled in real time without it reaching you as a problem.
