Gustavo and his team were incredible! We brought Gustavo on as a day-of coordinator, and he treated the job with great professionalism. He was as communicative as he needed to be leading up to the day, and this made us feel comfortable. He was also able to adapt quickly, which worked for us because many things for our wedding were "improvised" decisions, or go-with-the-flow types of determination, some even day of. He also recommended our DJ and photographer, and this turned out to be a perfect fit as well. Needless to say, we highly recommend their services. thank you! read more

If you need waitstaff for your wedding, look no further!! Event Helpers LA were incredible and made me feel at ease throughout my whole wedding reception. I believe I gave them some pretty complicated directions for what I wanted and they executed everything perfectly. We had food delivered so the waitstaff portioned everything out, plated the food, delivered, cleaned up, etc. They worked very closely with our coordinator and the night was perfect. They also looked very professional. Book them, you wont regret it!! Thanks again, Event Helpers LA!! read more

I've been working with Event Helpers for almost two years now, and I can confidently say they are one of the most reliable, professional, and supportive teams I've ever partnered with. As a caterer, having a staffing team that shows up on time, ready to work, and with a great attitude is everything and Event Helpers delivers that every single time. Whether it's a small gathering or a high-pressure, fast-paced event, they're consistent, composed, and a true extension of my brand. I always feel at ease knowing I have their team by my side. I'm beyond grateful for their support and highly recommend them to any event professional who values excellence, integrity, and teamwork. read more

I worked with Gustavo and his team for my company's in-person customer and prospect event that we hosted in Long Beach, CA with over 100 people and I just have to say - out of all the events I've thrown over the years, and there have been a LOT - he been BY FAR the best event planner I've ever worked with. He is so professional, so responsive, and executed everything perfectly. Thank you SO MUCH, Gustavo! I can't wait to work with you again soon!!!! read more

I got a quicker response from Event Helpers about my event and their prices were better than the other 2 companies I reached out to. Ruth and Tony jumped in an hour before my party and all my guests commented on how great they were. Hire them. read more

I had a Bark Mitzvah for my dog (ok stop laughing, it was awesome) and called event helpers based on Yelp reviews. So glad I did. Had about 65 guests. Gustavo was easy to work with, communication very good, pricing good. I had 2 helpers and 1 bartender. Came on time, dressed professionally, so helpful and such positive attitudes, they were delightful and helped so much. Special shout out to Maria and Edgar who went above and beyond, cleaning up and clearing out everything, getting the food ready on time, and all with smiles on their faces. Great company, and I even had fun at my own event! read more

Maria showed up on time and was incredibly helpful and very cheerful! She worked hard and professionally.

Hired two servers for my wedding party and everything went smoothly. The general manager, Gustavo, was very communicative and responsive at every step over email. Our servers, Katherine and Juan, were total pros the moment they showed up. They were on time, efficient, and generous with the range of tasks they took on without anyone asking. Will use Event Helpers again in the future! read more

I love event helpers! They are wonderful everybody that's come to our home to help us with events from here have been professional and top-notch read more

Gustavo and team are truly exceptional at what they do. We recently hosted an event in this gorgeous private estate in Beverly Hills and not only did the team come with the best energy, but all throughout the event they were so kind, helpful and incredibly strategic about how to provide the best guest experience. Our event captain that evening was Tony who was an absolute rockstar and gem. We are so thrilled to have worked with their team and would 100% do so again. If you're looking for a down to Earth and skilled team, don't hesitate to reach out to these folks. Trust me, they are the real deal and you can tell that they put their heart into all they do. Thank you Event Helpers LA for giving us such a lovely experience. read more

Event Helpers LA exceeded my expectations from the first point-of-contact through the successful completion of our event. Gustavo and Allen were excellent communicators, reliable, and supportive. We hosted a 35-person brunch (with guests of all ages) and Keith and Michelle were incredible partners. Michelle kept things moving in the kitchen, constantly replenishing food and cleaning up as she went, always with a proactive and friendly approach. Keith served the drinks and manned the outdoor area, and everyone loved chatting with him, from kids to grown-ups alike. At the end of the party they were super helpful in cleaning up, taking out the trash, and helping us put our house back together. These two were pros. This is the first time I have ever been able to truly enjoy my own party and guests. 10/10 recommend. read more

I cannot express how grateful we are to Gustavo and his exceptional team at Event Helpers LA. From our first contact - - and at every point -- we felt confident and thrilled that we had picked the right team. Gustavo is smart, insightful, cheerful, resourceful, creative, and in charge. Even though we were putting together the largest event at our home since our wedding in 2008, he made us feel comfortable, relaxed and excited to be throwing a retirement bash for 110+ guests. Normally a huge event at our home would be very stressful -- Not with Gustavo, he always made us feel great, and we were so happy that we had someone as experienced as him to navigate every detail. Gustavo helped with everything. Linens, caterer, furniture, beverages, decor, party favors, layout and logistics. Where it was easy for us to simply purchase things ourselves like beverages, he saved us money -- his staff and bartenders did all the work of serving, prep and tear down. He even suggested a # so that guests could post their pictures to social media under our name. Brilliant. Everything and everyone Gustavo recommended was top-notch. Our DJ Carlos could not have been better, the music was totally fun and upbeat -- our guests were thrilled with the entire event. The compliments flowed like champagne, and we owe it all to Gustavo and his team. To be sure, there were a couple of glitches along the way, this or that got miscommunicated with the caterer (who incidentally WE had insisted on rather than going with Gustavo's recommended caterer). That was our mistake. Next time I would 100% go with whoever Gustavo recommends because he knows the best of the best! Unlike a lot of events, making all of this happen was actually fun, every conversation we had with Gustavo, every meeting left us feeling better and more enthusiastic. Having thrown some of these parties with other event planners, I have to say I've never felt as happy and relaxed as I did with Gustavo. And his team. Meanwhile, the response to our invite was huge -- in fact we ended up with a far bigger budget event than we had planned. And it was all worth it, every dollar. In fact because there had been a couple of minor glitches with the caterer, Gustavo offered us a make-good out of his own pocket...which we politely declined. The truth is everything had been so fantastic, so beyond our expectations, and everyone was so happy -- his kind gesture was characteristic, but we said no, it was the best party ever and we were just grateful to have him at the helm. Our party lasted for five hours, followed by an after party for about four hours: Gustavo even made sure that we had a staff member for the after party to make life easy. She was amazing. Only one sad note - now that this event is done, I wish we had another one to look forward to!! I chose Event Helpers LA because of the incredible reviews and five star ratings... Absolutely deserved, and I highly highly recommend this company. Thank you so much, Gustavo and team! We are your biggest fans and are so thankful for everything you have done for us. It was amazing. FIVE STARS *******!!!! read more

Gustavo and his staff are the real deal, topnotch, go above and beyond, can roll with the punches, and put on amazing events. I have worked with Gustavo professionally and personally, and there is nothing he cannot do. He is a visionary, and most importantly is able to take command and execute with a great eye and the ability to interpret what the client is asking for with straight up honesty. read more

Event Helpers was EXCEPTIONAL! So easy to book, they were responsive and did everything on time and as promised. The bar looked beautiful, our bartender was great, and they were instrumental in making my party a success. Gustavo and his crew were the best! Reasonably priced, trustworthy and professional. I will be using them again! read more

Gustavo and Event Helpers LA are awesome! I highly recommend them for your event staffing and event planning needs. We have worked with Gustavo and his team as vendors for a few of his events now over the years and it has been only amazing experiences where his clients are left happy. They are really professional and go above and beyond. Excellent pricing and quality of service. A wonderful time with him and his staff from start to finish. You can rest easy knowing you are in good hands. read more

Wow... I am at an absolute lost for words. I had planned a backyard wedding and inquired through yelp for a couple of days of wedding coordinator. I decided on going with Event Helpers LA because of the raving reviews about Gustavo and his team. From what their yelp page showed, Gustavo seemed somewhat trustworthy. And then, it went all downhill from there. And downhill is an underestimate of the situation I went through. It started when I had scheduled our first phone call, and Gustavo missed our scheduled meeting. He said it was due to new system updates, and the fact that it happened to "delete" his scheduled call with me. The first red flag. You'd think a wedding coordinator would be a little bit more prompt and organized. I ignored it and proceeded to further inquire about Gustavo's services. It was two weeks before the wedding and we were now drafting our timeline for our wedding. We had a couple of discussions and I gave Gustavo all the information about every vendor I hired and how to get into contact with them. This is where things started to take a real turn. It was a week before the wedding and Gustavo had still not reached out to any vendors to introduce himself. All my vendors would inquire and ask me if I had a coordinator and sure enough I gave them Gustavo's information. He never reached out to them to introduce himself. Instead, I became the main point of contact. Gustavo was an absolute mess. He was constantly asking me for information that I already gave him. He asked me for the DJ's contact information at least 3 times. He texted my wife thinking she was a make up artist. He texted other vendors that he was going to follow up and never did. It was just a whole whirlwind of misinformation. And here comes the best part. 3 days before the wedding he sends me a "finalized" timeline for our wedding day. It was an utter and complete of garbage. He didn't even have the parent's names listed. The times were all messed up, and the events were all out of order. Half of the scheduled items that we spoke about weren't even listed. I told him that there was no way what he sent me could be a finalized version of the timeline. Vendors were again shocked and reached out to me to clarify what was happening. Can you imagine the levels of stress that I had to endure? Gustavo gave me no sense of relief and did not do anything to alleviate the stress of wedding planning. And now comes the best part of Gustavo's nightmare experience. It's the day of the wedding, and he reaches out to me that his assistant will be arriving at the venue at 2pm and he will be arriving at 4pm. His assistant, Ellie, arrived a little late, but started off assisting with the wedding right away. He was the only saving grace of this entire experience; and I personally thanked him myself. 4PM rolls around and Gustavo is nowhere to be seen. In fact, he never showed up. Just wow. How does the owner of a wedding coordinating company not show up to the wedding he promised to come to and help. I honestly feel scammed by Gustavo. He overpromised in every aspect and literally delivered nothing. The day after my wedding (thank god things still went as planned) I texted Gustavo to let him know my disappointment, basically everything started above. He responded that he would reply promptly. It's now 8 hours later since his text message. Currently, I am thinking this must be some ridiculous joke. This guy is doubling down and spitting in his client's face. I cannot say this enough, but DO NOT HIRE GUSTAVO AS A WEDDING COORDINATOR. This is the worst experience I've had with any sort of professional. I teach high school students for a living and I would trust them to be my coordinator over Gustavo. Crazy. I could go on and on, but this has consumed enough of my energy. Proof is in the photos. read more

We've had 2 annual dinner parties and used Event Helpers' servers to assist with the food. Each time, the servers were prompt, friendly, and attentive! They came in with a smile and left with a clean kitchen and a smile. Our party was self-serve buffet-style. But they didn't sit idle, they made sure dishes were clean, and replenished. They also collected dishes and made sure the drink, appetizer, and dessert tables were fully stocked. Highly recommend! read more

We had a christmas party and Giana and Ariel were there from Event Helpers. They were on time, professional and Giana even did a beautiful job of putting together my charcuterie board while I finished getting ready for my guests. They were attentive, considerate and great workers. I would recommend them and Event Helpers to anyone. read more

Event helpers LA was so easy to work with eight from the beginning! They got me set up with our server, Jason, who came and was amazing. He was so professional, knew exactly what to do, was so so nice and made my party 100% easier for me! I would def have him come again and will use Event Helpers LA again. Jason gets 6 out of 5 stars!!!! read more

4.5, they were excellent but 1 thing could have been improved. Hired for my daughter's quince July 12, 2025. They were sooo helpful I'm so glad I hired them. They were literally life savers, BUT the beans did get burned because they did not stir them when they were plating. Some of my guests got burnet beans and that's no fun. I do have to acknowledge that Gustavo did recommend more servers for my size party and my servers worked so darn hard the night of the event. Still, stirring could have easily been done while serving but we all had a blast and I couldn't have executed the party of a lifetime without them, would definitely hire them again! read more

What a wonderful experience. From the booking all the way through the party, everything went smooth. I had a question about how much wine I would need and Gustavo made a special phone call to help me plan. The servers went above and beyond during the party. They stayed busy the entire time by asking my guests if they needed more food or drinks, helped clean up and didn't leave until everything was done. They were lovely to have around and made my party exceptional. I can't wait to do it all over again! read more

Gus and his team were absolutely AMAZING. Eunice and Dawn were the ULTIMATE professionals. I highly recommend them for your event. Thank you so much for making my party a success. read more

Hired two sous chefs and a server for my wedding and they were phenomenal. They overcame huge last minute challenges like a missing oven and a leaking sink. They produced excellent food and service and were personable and efficient. Will definitely use again. read more

I will never host Thanksgiving again without Helper! It was so nice hosting 40 people and not having to worry about set up and clean up and everything in between. This was our first time hiring help so didn't really know what to expect or ask for. Next year we will!! read more

It was two days before my event. The wait staff company I used in the past was not available, and I was getting desperate. Do all the work myself or search on Yelp? I searched Yelp and landed on Event Helpers LA. I received a quote immediately. The response time was great. The server arrived on time and dressed as expected. Monse was the server. I cannot praise her enough. But I will try. Arrived on time. Dressed professionally (all black). Came ready to work. She worked. She understood what I needed to host the event in my home. She did what I asked and beyond. I did not have to explain every little detail along the way. She was all in. At the end of the event, Monse left my home clean and orderly. I had so little work to do that I didn't know what to do with myself. Great service. (Food buffet, setup and clean up) read more

Wow, we are beyond grateful for Event Helpers LA. Had a last minute event and Gustavo was able to help us book 2 servers who were both so amazing and impressive! Brenda & Anuarite were professional, attentive, and incredibly friendly. From the moment they arrived, they took charge, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Our guests were well taken care of, and we received numerous compliments on their excellent service. They truly made our event special. Highly recommend and will be hiring again. A big thank you to Gustavo and Cindy for helping coordinate this service. Both are great communicators and very professional! read more

I booked event helpers for my wedding and they did an amazing job! We booked staff and bartenders for the night. The staff worked really well with our coordinator and ensured everything ran smoothly! I was in contact with Gustavo over email for months and appreciate all the help he provided when we were figuring out what we needed for the night. Would definitely recommend them for any and all events! read more

Gustavo and staff were absolutely amazing! It was a seamless process from start to finish, booking was easy and the staff was helpful and were integral to our event. Highly recommend them to anyone needing extra hands for events. read more

I would HIGHLY recommend Event Helpers LA to anyone looking for flawless service and genuine support for any type of event. Los Angeles in August is very hot and prior to the event, the ice delivered seemed to be enough but quickly started melting. Gustavo has a lot of knowledge and advised me on how many more bags of ice would be needed and by what time. Because of his genuine concern on making sure the event continued without a hiccup, I followed his advice and ordered more like he suggested. And sure enough, it was perfect to last the rest of the evening. We had four bartenders, Juan, Salvatore, Michael and Manny. They were very helpful with setting up the bar and breaking things down by the end of the night. Very nice helping me carry everything to the bar and organizing it. Juan and Salvatore gave me the biggest sigh of relief when I asked if they had knives and a cutting board because the fruit for garnishes were still whole, if it weren't for them bringing a bar kit with knives, peelers and a cutting board (also a lemon squeezer) we would not have had the garnishes needed right away. They also genuinely wanted to make sure we didn't run out of product so as needed they let me know when to order more agave syrup and lime juice. I'm super grateful for their input and they were great with all the guests. All in all, the staff was incredible and I had the pleasure of working with them that evening. They are so polite and communicated with me all evening, overall a great group of gentlemen. 100/10! :) read more

We were in communication with Gustavo about event coordination. He was responsive, communicative, thorough, creative, enthusiastic, and incredibly helpful. His team of employees at the event were so polite, kind, and helpful. I really appreciate the professionalism and friendliness they brought to the event. Thank you! Would work with Gustavo and his team again! read more

We had the greatest experience from the first call. Gustavo explained everything in detail so I knew what to expect and no hidden charges. Omar was our server and he went above and beyond for our event. He took initiative, asked all the questions in the beginning in order for him to do the best possible job - and he did. He is an incredibly hard worker and helped with absolutely everything. I didn't even need to tell him what needed to be done, he just did it. He will absolutely be part of our next event. read more

I've used Event Helpers LA for three different events for about 75 guests and each time the team did an excellent job. Professional and friendly, I highly recommend them for any of your staffing needs! read more

The Ladies from LA Helpers were instrumental in making my event a huge success. They were attentive, professional, detail oriented, knowledgeably and were prepared to help me manage overall running of the event. I will absolutely use LA Helpers again! read more

Event Helpers LA was a pleasure to work with. When Paola and Irma arrived I was still in food prep mode and hadn't even started to get ready for the party and it was starting in 5 min! I went over all I needed them to do to put out the food, etc., and when I finally got out to the party the food was displayed perfectly. I was very happy. I normally would switch something around but I didn't need to! They didn't need to serve any food but they maintained the buffet, put out dessert and kept the party tidy - and that is what I needed. read more

I just want to thank Event Helpers LA for the amazing service that was provided for my Moms 70th birthday. We were unsure on how we wanted to serve food, but our server took control, ensured everything ran smoothly and she did it with a smile. In addition, she was attentive to our guest, helped with clean up and assisted with additional party task. If you are looking for servers and/or additional event help, I highly recommend Event Helpers LA. Thank you again! read more

We had a great experience with Event Helpers LA... I had a large bridal shower at my home and needed a sous chef and a server. Gustavo was kind and easy to deal with and knew exactly what I needed to allow me to feel like a guest at my own party. He recommended Andrew and Tony and they saved me! They showed up on time and went to work- We loved how professional and talented they both were. Our guests enjoyed the food and the service. Thanks to them, our party was a huge success and they made me look good! read more

I worked with Gustavo and his team for a very high profile event and was particularly pleased with their communication and execution! They were detailed and caring from the get go. I look forward to working with them again! read more

Excellent service delivered by Event Helpers LA! My husband and I were absolutely amazed at the cradle-to-grave care the staff delivered; from Giovanni making a follow-up call to my initial request to Cindy informing me that Tony and Areli would be working at our event--we can't say enough how pleased we were. Tony and Areli were absolutely outstanding! Our anniversary reception would not have been a success without the dedication, professionalism, and sincerity they delivered to not only us as host, but also to our guests. Thank you Gustavo, Giovanni, Cindy, Tony and Areli once again for the 5-star service you delivered! I would highly recommend Event Helpers LA to others as I can not wait to work with you all again in the future! read more

I cannot begin to express how happy I was with Event Helpers LA. Tony was the team member assigned to my event. We had 20 guests. He was a true blessing to work with. With the amount of stress I had leading up to the day of the event, Tony was able to immediately relieve me from that pressure. What an incredible experience it was having him be a part of our event. All my guests were also amazed with how quick and attentive he was. I will absolutely be using Event Helpers LA for all my events. read more

The Event Helpers Team did an wonderful job for my Mom's Celebration of Life. It was on a boat for 80 people.

Thank you so much!!!! read more
