Who we are

We are a Melbourne-based staffing agency specialising in providing professional, friendly, and reliable waitstaff for events of all sizes.

From intimate private gatherings to large-scale corporate functions, our team is trained to deliver seamless service with a personal touch. We take pride in attention to detail, punctuality, and creating a polished guest experience. Our network of skilled staff spans across Melbourne, ready to support caterers, event planners, and venues with short-term or ongoing needs.

At Five Star Staff, we believe that great service is more than just pouring drinks and serving food — it’s about creating a welcoming, elevated atmosphere for guests. Our staff are more than just servers; we’re the friendly, professional and young faces that help set the tone of your event and ensure everything runs smoothly.

We’re proud to offer a team of well-presented, energetic young professionals who genuinely enjoy working in social settings. Many of our team members are very well educated university students and young adults who bring enthusiasm, confidence, and a fresh approach to every event. They’re very comfortable engaging with guests, adapting quickly to changing environments, and delivering a high standard of service with a positive attitude.

Today, there’s a growing demand for event staff who can do more than just follow instructions — people who contribute to the overall experience. That’s where we stand out. Our staff are selected not just for their reliability and presentation, but for their ability to elevate the event through their energy, professionalism, and personable approach.

Whether it’s a wedding, cocktail party, private celebration, or gala dinner, Five Star Staff is here to ensure your event runs effortlessly — and leaves a lasting impression.
