Hipstr Hosts come from all backgrounds and industries. What they all share is they can’t help but be the life of the party.
What's a Hipstr event like?
What makes being a Hipstr Host exciting, is no two events are exactly the same. You may service anything from intimate birthday parties to grandiose weddings and corporate holiday events. That said, the process each time is the same. Once you receive an event opportunity, you'll see where it is and what you'll make, and can choose to accept or reject it. Once you accept, there are generally four steps, all of which are clearly outlined via email from the Hipstr Team:

1. Pick up the Equipment and Drive to the Venue
2. Setup the Equipment
3. Party Like a Rockstar
4. Pack up the Equipment and Head Home
