Event Staffing Jobs in Washington DC

Brand Ambassador - Washington DC

Rep brands at events all over DC—Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Navy Yard, wherever. You're basically the person making products look good and getting people interested. Great for folks who actually enjoy talking to strangers.

Location: Washington DC (Downtown DC, Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, Arlington, Bethesda, Alexandria)

Waitstaff - Washington DC

Serving at high-end events around the District. Think galas, embassy functions, corporate parties at upscale venues throughout DC. You need to be reliable and know your way around a dining room.

Location: Washington DC (Dupont Circle, Penn Quarter, Foggy Bottom, Georgetown, National Harbor, Tysons)

Bartender - Washington DC

Making drinks at events across Washington. Could be a rooftop bar downtown, could be an embassy reception—it varies. You should know what you're doing behind a bar, and be able to handle busy nights.

Location: Washington DC (Adams Morgan, U Street, H Street Corridor, Wharf, Rosslyn, Silver Spring)

Production Assistant - Washington DC

Setting up and breaking down events. Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Capital One Arena, other major venues—the big spots. It's physical work and things move fast, but if you like staying busy and seeing how events actually happen, it's pretty interesting.

Location: Washington DC (Convention Center, National Mall area, NoMa, Capitol Riverfront, Pentagon City)

Why Work With Eleven8 in DC

Look, there are lots of event staffing agencies in Washington. Here's why people stick with us.

The Pay Is Competitive

We're not going to lowball you. DC's got a high cost of living and we pay what the work is worth. Your rate reflects what you bring to the table and what it actually costs to work in the nation's capital.

You Can Actually Move Up

Top performers don't just get a pat on the back. You get better gigs, higher pay, and chances to run events instead of just working them. We've had plenty of people start as staff and end up managing embassy galas and major government conferences.

Your Schedule, Your Choice

We post shifts, you pick what works. Got classes? Side hustle? Just want weekends off? Cool. Work as much or as little as you want across the DMV area.

It Looks Good on Your Resume
