Hire hostesses & greeters
in Manhattan.
Polished hostesses and greeters trained in hospitality protocol — for retail openings, gallery launches, and high-touch corporate events.
Manhattan is the busiest single brand market in the country. Three engines in parallel: the Javits Center trade-show calendar (NRF Big Show, NY NOW, ICFF, NYCC), the financial-services corporate axis (FiDi up through Park Avenue), and the Fashion Week / retail flagship corridor (Soho, Fifth Avenue, Hudson Yards, Meatpacking). Outside Manhattan we cover Brooklyn (Williamsburg / DUMBO / Barclays / Industry City), Queens (Citi Field, USTA Billie Jean King for the US Open, LIC waterfront), and the Bronx (Yankee Stadium). NYC roster is built for on-camera stakes — working actors, Equity hosts, runway-experienced models, about 50% bilingual or trilingual talent. All staff are 100% W-2 and NY Department of Labor compliant.
Common deployments: Fashion Week front-of-house in Chelsea and Hudson Yards, Fifth Avenue luxury openings, and premiere step-and-repeats in Times Square.

Questions Manhattan buyers ask about hostesses & greeters.
What does a Showcraft hostess do at a Manhattan event?+
Our Manhattan hostesses handle first impressions — guest greeting, coat check coordination, name-tag distribution, escorting VIPs, and maintaining the front-of-house energy you've designed for your event. Every hostess is briefed on your guest list, dress code, and run-of-show before the doors open.
Are your Manhattan hostesses bilingual?+
Spanish-fluent hostesses are available in every Manhattan booking. Other languages (Mandarin, Korean, Portuguese, French, Japanese) are available with lead time. For events in New York City with international guest lists, flag the language requirement so we can match a hostess team to the room.
Are your Manhattan hostesses W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every Showcraft hostess working in Manhattan is a W-2 employee with payroll, workers' comp, and general liability coverage. COIs are issued naming your venue and additional insureds. In California, our payroll is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
Can you provide hostesses for high-end private events in Manhattan?+
Yes. Many of our Manhattan hostesses come from luxury hospitality and retail backgrounds — they understand discretion, NDAs, and the etiquette of high-touch private events. For VIP-sensitive bookings in New York City we can also assign a captain dedicated solely to guest experience.
