Hostesses in Phoenix
Hosts for resort galas, VIP areas and Barrett-Jackson hospitality.
ResortsGalasVIP
Hostesses, brand ambassadors, booth reps and models for the Phoenix Convention Center, Scottsdale resorts, Barrett-Jackson week and every Valley event. Local staff who know the season, the drive times and the heat. $85 an hour, every role.
Phoenix is two event markets in one: a three-building convention center downtown and a ring of desert resorts that host conferences, incentive trips and VIP events. Purple Exhibits staffs the Phoenix Convention Center, Scottsdale and Valley resorts, WestWorld and the stadiums with local hostesses, brand ambassadors, booth reps and models at a flat $85 an hour per person. Our Valley crew plans around the season: resort events peak from October to May, and summer outdoor work needs a real heat plan. Book six weeks ahead for January and February, three to four weeks otherwise, and 72 hours for a rush.
