Staff profiles
The staff we provide for your event in Ibiza
Every event calls for a different team. These are the profiles most requested in Ibiza; we combine them to suit the format, the venue and the number of guests.
Waiters for villas and events
Cocktail, dinner and bar service in villas, agroturismos and private venues, used to working with international clients.
Bartenders and cocktail service
Signature cocktail bars for private parties, weddings and brand events, setup included.
Hostesses and guest reception
Welcome, guest-list and access management and guest care in English and other languages.
Kitchen and back-of-house staff
Assistants and back-of-house staff who work alongside your private chef or caterer.
Setup and teardown crews
Villa or venue preparation before the event and a full clear-up afterwards.
Team leader
A coordinator heading every service: your single point of contact throughout the event.
How many staff do you need? Recommended ratios
As a guide, these are the ratios we usually recommend in Ibiza. In your proposal we fine-tune the exact team to your villa or venue, the menu and the pace of the party.
| Event format | Recommended ratio | Example for 100 guests |
|---|---|---|
| Seated dinner | 1 waiter per 10 guests | 10 waiters + floor manager |
| Cocktail party | 1 waiter per 20-25 guests | 4-5 waiters + bar support |
| Buffet or food stations | 1 waiter per 25-30 guests | 3-4 waiters + replenishment |
| Cocktail bar | 1 bartender per 40-50 guests | 2 bartenders + 1 barback |
These figures are a guide: a villa with several terraces, pool areas or a long party may call for extra hands. We make it all clear in your proposal.

Your team, guaranteed at the height of the Ibiza season
From May to October the island runs at full capacity: the best waiters and bartenders are committed to hotels, beach clubs and restaurants, and anyone trying to staff a party in July with two weeks’ notice ends up with no staff at all — or with an improvised crew.
We plan our season roster months ahead and keep our own backup staff: when we confirm a team, that team turns up. Uniformed, on time and with a leader in charge, whether it is a dinner for 20 or a party for 200.
If your event is in July or August, the sooner you confirm your team, the better. And if something comes up last minute, ask us anyway: subject to availability, we usually find a way.
Where we work in Ibiza
We cover the whole island: we arrive at the villa or venue with the team, the uniforms and the logistics sorted, from the south coast to the quieter north.
- Villas in Es Cubells, Cala Jondal and the south coast
- Sant Josep, Cala Conta and Cala Bassa
- Santa Eulalia, Es Canar and the east coast
- Sant Antoni and the west of the island
- Santa Gertrudis, Sant Rafel and the island’s interior
- Sant Joan, Portinatx and the north
- Dalt Vila, Talamanca and Marina Botafoch
- Agroturismos, beach clubs and private venues across the island
How much does it cost to hire event staff in Ibiza?
Every event is different, so we don’t work with one-size-fits-all rate cards: the cost depends on the profiles you need, the hours of service and the date; in peak season demand across the island soars, so it pays to book early.
What we do guarantee is a fixed, written quote with no surprises: before you confirm anything you will know exactly which team you are getting, for how many hours and what the service includes.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire staff for a party or event in Ibiza?
It depends on the profiles you need, the hours of service and the date, especially in high season. Tell us what you have in mind and you will receive a fixed quote within 24 hours, with no obligation and no surprises later.
Can you guarantee the team at the height of the season?
Yes — and it is one of the main reasons clients hire us: in July and August, finding available waiters on the island is close to impossible. We plan our season roster well in advance and keep backup staff, so the team we confirm is the team that turns up.
Do you have English-speaking staff in Ibiza?
Yes. Most of our clients in Ibiza are international, so our staff look after guests in fluent English, with other languages available depending on the event.
Do you cover private parties in villas?
Yes, it is our speciality on the island. We know villa logistics inside out: access, bar setup and service areas, coordination with your private chef, DJ and other suppliers, and a full clear-up afterwards so the house is left exactly as we found it.
What should I know about the rules for a villa party?
Balearic regulations limit noise and outdoor music after certain hours, and each municipality has its own nuances. When we plan the service we help you organise timings, bar areas and dinner zones so the party flows without problems with the neighbours or the property.
Do you cover the whole island? What about Formentera?
We cover all of Ibiza, from Portinatx to Es Cubells. For events in Formentera, ask us in advance and we will confirm availability and logistics.
