At Mimi’s Party Palace, our Event Assistants provide hands-on support so you can enjoy your celebration or corporate event without worrying about the details. Whether it is a corporate gala, wedding, quinceañera, birthday, baby shower, or a private house party, our team is here to keep your event running smoothly from setup to breakdown.

What Our Event Assistants Do for You

Our event assistants in Austin, Leander, and surrounding areas handle the tasks that make a big difference:

• Event decor setup and placement
• Food setup (if required)
• Replenishing non-alcoholic drinks throughout the event
• Keeping the event space clean and organized (removing plates, cups, napkins)
• Trash removal during the event and transport to the dumpster
• Cake cutting service and serving slices to guests
• Packing leftover food and storing in the refrigerator or kitchen (if available)
• Distributing send-off items like bubbles or sparklers
• Attending to guest needs throughout the event
• Assisting with event breakdown and packing your decor belongings

Please note: A client, planner, or point of contact should provide instructions and preferences for our team.

Service Hours & Timeline

Our event assistant service includes up to 10 consecutive hours, which fits most event schedules:

• 3 to 4 hours for setup
• 5 hours for party, convention, or reception time
• 1 to 1.5 hours for breakdown

If your event goes beyond 10 hours, we can extend the service and add the additional time to your invoice.

What We Are NOT

We want to be clear about what our assistants can and cannot provide:

• We are not servers and we are not a staffing agency where you hire “a couple of people for a few hours.”
• We provide full-service assistance from start to finish of your event.
• Perfect for house parties and corporate functions, our team ensures you enjoy your guests or network instead of working and hosting.
• We do not cook on site, but Mimi’s Party Palace has a catering team available if you need food service.
• We do not wash dishes on site. When you rent tableware or items that require cleaning, those are handled by a separate team during office hours — not at the event.

Limitations

To keep expectations clear, here are additional limitations of our Event Assistant Services:

• We do not clean restrooms or perform house cleaning before an event.
• We do not craft or create centerpieces on site — all decor must be ready to place.
• We do not climb trees to hang lights or use ladders over 6 feet.
• We do not load or unload your personal vehicles.
• We do not haul trash away (separate service available).
• We do not provide transportation of rental items for free (delivery requires driver + truck service).
• We do not shuttle guests in personal vehicles.
