Our Founders
-
Julia VallerOwner, CEO -
Nick VallerOwner, CFO
Julia Valler Event Staffing was founded by husband-and-wife team Julia and Nick Valler. After years working across New York's catering and event-planning scene, Julia set out to build a staffing agency defined by one standard: service that never feels stressed. As President and CEO, she shapes every detail of the client experience, from recruiting talent to the polish each event delivers.
Nick Valler, drawing on his own background in hospitality operations and business development, became her essential partner from day one. As Co-Founder, he built the operational backbone that let the company grow from a single New York team into an agency staffing thousands of events a year across nine U.S. cities — without losing the hands-on quality Julia envisioned at the start.

Personal Interviews
We assess each candidate’s professionalism, personality, and relevant hospitality or promotional experience. Only 4% of all applicants are approved to join our team.

The Polo Bar by Ralph Lauren
Permanent staffing
The Polo Bar by Ralph Lauren opened in 2014. The New York City restaurant hired front-of-house staffing through Julia Valler, including hosts, servers, and bartenders. The Polo Bar was filled with incredibly high-end clientele, including celebrities. The Polo Bar by Ralph Lauren entrusted over 30 staff members of Julia Valler to cycle through all of the necessary positions in an exclusive restaurant. Even with a one month “Right To Replace” opportunity given to The Polo Bar, every single one of our staff members was kept on throughout the hiring process.

In 2017, the Disney Cruise line tested a launch from a port in New York City. The port hired 50 staff members as Directional Staff and primary Check-In Personnel. The JV staffing team was responsible for being the first point of contact for the guests. With extensive training, the Check-In team would scan forms of passports, licenses, tickets, and any other sort of document needed for a seamless boarding process onto the Disney Cruise. All members were cross-trained in each department and contracted for three months every day a cruise was scheduled.
