The people
who already book here.
“I posted a last-minute pa call for a Tottenville corporate dinner at 10pm and had three vetted applicants by midnight. The one I picked checked in at the dock on time, knew the venue cold, and the bill was exactly what the dashboard said it would be. That doesn't happen with phone-tree agencies.”
“We run two shows a week in this neighborhood and the same pa keeps applying. After three repeat bookings he hit ELITE and now he's our first choice. Saves me an hour of vetting per gig.”

Frequently asked
Questions about hiring
a pa in Tottenville.
How many PAs do I need for a 500-person Tottenville corporate event?+
Rule of thumb: 1 PA per 100 attendees for registration + general support, plus 1 dedicated talent PA per VIP speaker. A 500-person Tottenville keynote with 4 speakers = 5 PAs minimum.
Can a PA also handle social media or photos?+
Not by default — if you need behind-the-scenes content captured, hire a separate content PA or photo PA. Bundling these onto one PA splits attention and degrades both.
What's the difference between a PA and a brand ambassador?+
PA works the production side — runs, hospitality, behind-the-scenes. Brand ambassador works the front-of-house — greeting attendees, demo-ing product, on-camera presence. Different skill set, different rate card.
