12.9 million visitors. $4.1 billion in spending. 3,000 weddings a year. One of the three largest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in America. And a hospitality workforce that cannot keep up with a tourism economy that just hit another record.
Savannah drew 12.9 million visitors and $4.1 billion in spending in 2024 - another record. The Savannah Convention Center on Hutchinson Island delivers 660,000 sq ft of event space. SCAD generates $1 billion in regional economic impact. The destination wedding market books 3,030 ceremonies a year at an average cost of $38,000 each. St. Patrick’s Day alone floods the city for four consecutive days. The staffing supply has not scaled with the demand.

If you are searching for an event staffing agency in Savannah, here is our promise in plain language: trained servers and bartenders, a TWF captain running the floor, rosters confirmed before noon, and a written quote before anything is booked. Standard event roles bill $15 to $22 an hour - see the full rate breakdown.
Tell us the date, headcount, and venue. We respond within 2 hours.
These are the six questions we get most from event hosts, planners and property managers in Savannah. Answered here so you do not have to call to find out.
For a buffet reception at 200 guests we would staff 1 captain, 8 servers and 2 bartenders. Eleven people, or nine if you are not serving a bar.
The common mistake is assuming a buffet needs fewer staff because guests serve themselves. The food line is the easy part. What decides whether a room feels tended is bussing and clearing, and that runs about one server per 25 guests. At 200 you also want two buffet lines rather than one, or your last guest eats forty minutes after your first.
| Guests | Servers | Bar | Leadership |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 2 servers | 1 bartender | Optional |
| 100 | 4 servers | 2 bartenders | 1 captain |
| 150 | 6 servers | 2 bartenders | 1 captain |
| 200 | 8 servers | 2 to 3 bartenders | 1 captain |
| 300 | 12 servers | 3 to 4 bartenders | 2 captains |
Plated service needs roughly a third more servers than buffet. Tell us the service style and we will size it exactly.
Standard trained event roles bill in the $20 to $30 per hour range in Savannah, GA, depending on role, event size and how much lead time we have. That covers servers, bartenders, barbacks, runners, bussers and setup crews.
Captains, floor supervisors and senior leadership bill above that range and are quoted per engagement, because they are running your floor rather than working a station.
Our team members earn $15 to $22 an hour, above typical local hotel rates. That is deliberate, and it is why they show up and stay.
Take the team above and do the arithmetic in the open. Ten standard-rate staff over a six hour call at $20 to $30 an hour is roughly $1,200 to $1,800, with the captain quoted separately on top.
Where you land inside that range depends on the day of the week, the season, the service style and your lead time. A Tuesday corporate lunch and a Saturday gala are different jobs and they price differently.
You get an exact number in writing before anything is booked. We do not ask anyone to commit to a range.
Recruiting, training, professional TWF uniforms, a pre-shift briefing, an on-site captain on every full team, backfill from our bench when someone drops, and a written shift report your manager signs off on.
The captain is the part most staffing companies leave out. If you have a wedding coordinator or a banquet manager, they should be running the event, not directing nine individual strangers. Our captain runs our staff and reports to your lead. One point of contact, start to finish.
No hidden fees, and that word matters. Everything is priced on the quote before you commit.
Inside our seven markets, Greenville NC, Raleigh, Charlotte, Charleston, Columbia, Atlanta and Savannah, there is no travel charge. Your crew is local.
If your event sits outside those markets and we deploy a captain to run your floor, that mobilization is a named line on your quote from the start at $250. It is never a surprise on your invoice.
There is no administrative fee, no service charge and no fuel surcharge. If the scope changes, the price change is agreed in writing first.
Every inquiry is answered by a person within 2 hours. For planned events, the more lead time we have the better the rate and the deeper the bench we can assign.
For same-day and next-day coverage we run an emergency line with deployment inside 24 hours. Tell us the date, the headcount and the venue and you will have a clear next step the same day.
Staffing ratios are our recommendations for buffet service and are a starting point, not a rule. Rates are billed ranges for standard trained roles and vary by market, event size and lead time. Your exact quote is issued in writing before anything is booked.
