What You Need to Apply For Event Staff Jobs In NOLA

  • If don’t have a valid social security number, we will not be able to hire you. If you’re in the process, reach out once you have one.

  • We only consider bartenders with at least 2 years of previous experience. Bartending is a skilled profession, and many of our bartenders attended bartending school before applying.

  • We have a high volume of applicants and limited space available on our roster. Please give us 1-2 weeks time before expecting a response.

  • Yes, when you apply above you can check off which positions you’d like to be considered for, if you pass the interview for all positions, you will be considered for those postions.

  • No other city in the country has New Orleans's relationship with celebration. Events here aren't just calendar entries — they're cultural institutions. Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, French Quarter Festival, and Essence Festival collectively bring millions of visitors and generate an event staffing demand that peaks harder than almost any other market in the country. Outside those anchors, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center drives a steady year-round convention calendar that keeps work consistent between the big seasons.

  • Convention floor work at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, corporate and private events at historic French Quarter venues, luxury hotel functions at properties along Canal Street and the CBD, festival-adjacent brand activations during Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, private estate events in the Garden District, and hospitality functions tied to New Orleans's world-renowned food and beverage culture.

  • Primarily the French Quarter, Central Business District, Garden District, Warehouse Arts District, and Mid-City. Anchor venues include the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, and numerous historic mansion and courtyard event spaces throughout the city. Select bookings extend to Metairie and the North Shore.

  • More than people expect. The Convention Center runs events year-round, corporate and private bookings stay active through the fall and winter, and the city's tourism baseline — even in slower months — sustains a hospitality event circuit that keeps shifts available. The peaks are dramatic, but the floor is higher than New Orleans's reputation as a seasonal city might suggest.
