Experienced Professionals, Committed to Diversity

Blue Ridge Event Staffing started in 2012 with the core belief: A living wage should be the minimum wage. We start all of our staff at a living wage. Because of the nature of what we do, we can not offer full time employment to our event staff. However, we can ensure that the people we send to work in events in WNC are being justly paid. That belief forms the core from which our values extend.

Blue Ridge Event Staffing is a proud supporter of LGBTQI + weddings and couples. Black Lives Matter, and Black Weddings matter. POC Matter Here. We love learning new traditions. From traditional Indian weddings to traditional Nigerian buffets, we go the extra mile to listen, research, and educate staff if needed.

Blue Ridge Event Staffing hires and values a diverse staff. We focus on providing qualified food and beverage event staff. Our staff are experienced food and beverage professionals, we do not staff light industrial or clerical positions.

We love supporting local businesses, and do so whenever we can. Whether we are buying office supplies, print materials, disposable plates, or cloth face masks, chances are someone in Asheville makes or sources these items. We are committed to keeping the money that comes into Asheville here in Asheville to keep this community that inspires so much love, thriving.
