Pavlopoulou Zacharoula

We were very happy with Julia Valler’s services. We contacted them by phone and email quite late in the game due to a last minute staff shortage for our event in New York. We needed someone to meet and greet guests, to assist in the meeting venue and help pack up afterwards. Abigail arrived on time, did a great job, was very helpful and willing. We were very happy with the experience, needed the assistance and were very reassured to find a last minute solution and would certainly work with you again. Many thanks for sorting it all out for us!
Eric Simon

Our experience with Julia Valler was exceptional! Their communication and attention to detail leading up to our event made our planning process virtually seamless, and the bartender assigned was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. We will absolutely use them for all future events!
Ara Farnam-Levinson

Our experience with Julia Valler staffing was excellent. We received a prompt quote within hours and our event coordinator Viktor was extremely responsive throughout our planning. Their Brand Ambassador rate is very well priced for NYC, and the staff they sent onsite were all fantastic. We hired 5 BAs who worked a 2 day pop-up for us, and they were extremely hard workers with a great attitude. 5 stars all around. Would definitely use them again, and would highly recommend.
Caroline Vigneron

I'm so pleased with this staffing agency - the staff are incredibly professional, friendly, and helpful. I hired them to help run two events with 300+ individuals, and their work was critical in delivering two quality events. They felt like a true extension of my team. Our guests even complimented how wonderful the staff were. I'm so happy we chose this agency and look forward to working with them in the future.

Meet Julia Valler

Entrepreneur Behind the Business

For Julia Valler, service is passion — this is the foundation that Julia Valler Event Staffing was built on. Once upon a time, Julia dreamed of owning her own events business. Watching Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner lit a light inside of her. Now she owns a successful events agency in the heart of NYC.

Julia has been in the events industry for years working various positions for multiple catering companies and event planners. An admitted perfectionist, Julia couldn't help but notice there was room for improvement in the industry. She set out to find other service-hearted people who believe excellence should always be the standard. Among them was her husband, Nick Valler, whose unwavering support and commitment to outstanding service made him an invaluable partner in her vision. Together, they launched the event staffing company in 2013, where Julia serves as the President and Chief Creative Officer, while Nikolay plays a key role in ensuring operational excellence.
