What NOT to do at your office Holiday party
We all know how wild a night out can get, especially here in Miami, but at your office Holiday party, you may want to tone down the holiday spirit a little bit. Christmas is just around the corner and you will probably be receiving a notice soon, for the office party. Whether you are a manager or an employee on the bottom side of the hierarchy, there are a few rules you need to follow. We know what you are thinking – Rules? At a party? How boring! Unless you want your party to turn into the scene from the “Office Christmas Party”, you better check yourself before you wreak yourself. Contact us for more information about RMG Staffing or hiring us for your next party or any event in Miami, Fl! So, to prevent you from making any faux pas, we have come up with a couple of no-nos that you should definitely NOT indulge in, no matter how strong the compulsion: Don’t Be the Drunk of the Party Imagine facing the same people tomorrow at the office, after spilling all your beans about a coworker at the party. There is a sure way to embarrass yourself in front of everyone and the path that brings you here swiftly is the open bar. Have you ever met your drunk self? For all you know, you could be a mean, insulting or makes-everyone-cringe drunk. Moreover, when you are drunk, you tend to pass out degrading comments such as: Why don’t you let a little loose because you are really an uptight person? Babe… that dress is bangin’ Your wife is cool to work with… put in a good word for me for that promotion will ya. You get our meaning. Don’t Indulge In Gossip Dan in the office next to you is having an affair but that is none of your business! Whether this is a rumor or not, try to stay away from gossip. These things tend to suck you in and before you know it, you are sitting on a boatload of information, which you can’t tell anyone but if you do, you will be the one in trouble. In fact, if you hear someone gossiping, shut it down immediately. Don’t Spend the Entire Night by the Food Table This is your party, so go ahead and have some fun but not at the food table! Stocking up your plate and stuffing your mouth with hors d’oeuvres makes it quite difficult to mingle. Imagine shaking other people’s hands with sticky or oily fingers while talking with a full mouth. People might see this as an insult and frankly, this is simply rude behavior. Don’t Talk Smack About the Boss This is one of the biggest no-nos that you should avoid at an office party. Negative comments made on the boss tend to make their way to his or her ear pretty fast. Moreover, this behavior is completely unacceptable in a corporate environment. Don’t forget, you are standing on their property and you have the audacity to talk bad about them? Keep Those Loose Lips Shut Talking about your crush or revealing information about others is not something you should ever do at a party. People live for the drama and once the party is over, you will make a lot of people uncomfortable the next day, when they will hear about what you said… and they definitely will! Lastly, keep those inappropriate compliments to yourself. No one wants to hear a compliment that is a part insult. This kind of behavior can be quite damaging for your career. So, be on your guard while at an office part and try to limit your drinks to two. Oh… and stay away from the dance floor if dancing is just not your forte.

On The Scene with RMG Staffing: Veuve Clicquot Carnaval
Imagine sipping sparkling rosé champagne while mingling with the hottest celebrities in the entertainment world as a remarkable group of Colombian salsa dancers shake their bodies in effortless motion to the sound of Latin rhythms and pop music. On March 21, the renowned Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin French Champagne brand produced their fourth annual Veuve Clicquot Carnaval. Over 4,000 locals, celebrities, and influencers attended the event which was held at Museum Park. “This year, we were excited to expand the event overall,” Aygline Pechdo, vice president at Veuve Clicquot USA stated in a press release. “Our goal is to cultivate a unique, vibrant, and exciting experience for our attendees and continue to grow Clicquot Carnaval into the most highly-anticipated and must-attend event in Miami, year after year.” The festive gathering was in support of Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and our dedicated team at RMG Staffing was very much honored to have provided the staff for the event. Those in attendance included Insecure actress Issa Rae, Tessa Thompson from the blockbuster movies such as Creed and Thor: Ragnarok, Edgar Ramirez, Joan Smalls, Nacho Figueras, and Tyson Beckford. Also in attendance were social media influencers, journalists, and socialites. “We provided the staff for the Pegasus World Cup Invitational horse race that was held at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach earlier this year,” President of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli stated. “Veuve Clicquot Carnaval is another luxurious event that attracts successful leaders in various industries. The event has strong brand recognition and Veuve Clicquot is a five-star company that provides premium champagnes. The event was executed to perfection and we were honored to have been chosen to provide the staff that serviced the wonderful attendees.” Along with the salsa dancers, additional entertainment was provided by DJ and fashion tastemaker May Kwok and a live drumming display that included a group of drummers who maneuvered through the crowd, daring the attendees not to dance to the sound their pulsating beats. Veuve Clicquot used the event to celebrate their 200th anniversary of the world’s first blended rosé champagne, which was established in 1818. Italian luxury fashion house FENDI was also there to feature their FENDI x Veuve Clicquot Rosé Charm. The Rosé Charm is a stunning little bag charm colored in Veuve Clicquot’s iconic pink rosé hue. It’s made of soft pastel pink fox fur, with polka-dot motif in shades of orange and tone-on-tone leather lace and includes a palladium-finish spring clip with an engraved Fendi logo tag. The first Veuve Clicquot Carnaval was in 2015. The company brought the event to Miami to pay homage to the city’s tropical atmosphere and international flare. RMG Staffing was pleased to have participated in the event, and we can’t wait for 2019’s celebration.
Frost Museum Throws an Opening Gala
A Celebration of Science Frost Museum of Science Throws an Opening Gala for Its Sponsors In Miami, there’s always a reason to celebrate. And while it was already Cinco de Mayo and Kentucky Derby, Miami’s first weekend of May found another reason to party: science. Taking place on Saturday, May 6th, science lovers and philanthropists citywide came together to celebrate the much-anticipated opening of Miami’s only planetarium, aquarium and science museum, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. Lucky for us, the museum called on RMG Staffing to make sure this party was one for the books–meaning we got to join in the celebration, too. Dubbed A Celebration of Science, this evening event was a night of wining, dining, dancing, and mingling with the Magic City’s finest. There was a red carpet and live music, and everyone in attendance got the very first glimpse of the WOW-worthy museum’s one-of-a-kind experiences and exhibits. Don’t know what we’re talking about? Think a three-level aquarium with a peek into South Florida waters, the 250-seat Frost Planetarium, the light-filled laser show, and even an interactive MeLaβ experience that teaches us all how the human body works. It was over-the-top fabulous, but we expected nothing less. After all, this star-studded evening is the beloved museum’s largest fundraiser of the year. With nearly a decade of experience staffing sought-after Miami parties like this, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science event gave our team at RMG Staffing another opportunity to do what we do best: make A-list Miami events run smoothly. From setting up and breaking down the venue, serving guests and working the bar, to serving food, playing host or hostess, guiding guests wherever they’re supposed to be, and above all, making sure VIP guests feel comfortable and welcomed, we were there to keep the event organizers and the guests happy. We put on our construction hats and got to work. We did it in the name of science. This event occurred on Saturday, May 6th, at 7 p.m. at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. The museum is located at 1101 Biscayne Boulevard, right on Biscayne Bay. For more information about RMG Staffing or to hire us for your next event, contact us here.

RMG Staffing Proudly Participates in Jackson Golden Angels Gala
On Saturday, January 21, more than 800 philanthropists in Miami flocked to SOHO Studios, in Wynwood, for a 25th Birthday Bash as they’ve never seen before. Paying homage to 25 years of the Jackson Health Foundation – the fundraising arm of Jackson Health System – this evening of dinner, dancing, and entertainment celebrated Jackson’s generous donors. Making it extra fabulous, The Collection raffled off a 2017 Porsche Macan, and by the end of the night, the event raised more than $2.6M for Jackson Memorial Hospital, a nationally-recognized medical conglomerate that has since become known as the most comprehensive healthcare provider in all of South Florida. For more information about RMG Staffing or to hire us for your next event, contact us at 305.890.1562. And with so many of Miami’s finest in attendance, the organizers knew they had to hire the best in the business to make the evening run smoothly. Turning to Starr Catering Group for help, this birthday bash was as elegant as it was impressive. The rustic SOHO Studios became a massive canvas for what later became a sparkling affair: one with blue and purple low lighting, shimmering tables, hanging crystals, metallic presents wrapped in bright pink, yellow and green ribbons, an entire ornament wall covered in giant, glimmering globes, a dance floor and more. All in all, this fun-filled evening went off without a hitch, mainly due to the service and staff teams who were hired to support it. As proud partners of Starr Catering Group, we here at RMG Staffing take pride in participating in critical aspects of significant events like these – from setting up and breaking down the venue to working the bar, serving food, playing host or hostess, directing guests to their appropriate table, and most importantly, making VIPs (which at this event, is everyone) feel comfortable and welcomed.

Moving forward, we look forward to continuing to work with major players like Starr Catering Group and to aid prestigious Miami events, like the “Golden Angels” Gala, for years to come.

RMG Staffs Miami’s Biggest New Year’s Eve Party: Justin Bieber LIVE at the Fontainebleau
All over the world, New Year’s Eve is about one thing – celebrating – and here at RMG Staffing, celebrations are what we’re all about. So to close 2016, we went out with a bang and staffed one of the year’s biggest parties. When the Fontainebleau Miami Beach decided to ring in 2017 with a blowout Justin Bieber concert, they called us here at RMG Staffing (one of their most reliable vendors!) to help it go off without a hitch. And, of course, we gladly obliged. I mean… how could we miss the biggest party of the year? A poolside NYE party so amazing we just had to relive it again. Were you there to see #JustinBieber? Sponsored by Belvedere Vodka, this epic, one-night-only event was just what you’d expect from an international hotspot like Miami Beach: glamorous, star-studded, packed, and above all, one heck of a party. Taking place by the Fontainebleau Miami Beach pool, Justin Bieber performed his biggest hits – like “Where Are You Now,” “Sorry” and “Love Yourself” – in front of a crowd of his best fans and A-list friends. And considering packages for the event were selling for as much as $500,000 a piece (yes, you read that right), it’s no surprise the hotel’s countdown to the New Year was nothing short of a spectacle. At one point, Skrillex and Marshmello joined “the Biebs” onstage, and celebrities like Jeremy Piven, La La Anthony and Jonathan Cheban, came to celebrate right along with them. After the concert, the party continued at LIV, where Justin and Skrillex performed and the champagne flowed all night long. As for us, we had one job for the night: make sure the guests were taken care of. That means handling everything from setting up and breaking down all the beverage stations and VIP tables, acting as VIP hostesses and serving bottles to VIP tables, to whipping up drinks behind the bar, serving as bar backs, and managing and staffing the event as a whole. We put together a crew of about 140 staff members and coordinators to make it all happen. Having worked with the Fontainebleau Miami Beach for many years now, we understood the high standard of professionalism and service they required for this event and always, as well as our shared goals of hiring only those individuals who provide the highest levels of luxury, enthusiasm, energy and service. We brought all of those qualities there with us on New Year’s Eve through our proficient staff, and are proud to say that the night went as smoothly as our client and our company anticipated. To get the opportunity to work with high-caliber clients like Fontainebleau Miami Beach, we at RMG had to have already established a reputation for success. Over the years, we have staffed some of South Florida’s most prestigious events, like concerts, DJ festivals, celebrity weddings, galas and political, even Presidential affairs. We’ve staffed many of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach’s weekend concerts, Drake concerts, Madonna’s Art Basel concert and fundraiser at the Faena Miami Beach, two evenings hosted by Former President Barack Obama at the JW Marriott Marquis, Art Basel parties, and many other corporate events and soirées. We’re proud of what we do, and how well we do it, and nothing makes us happier than being entrusted to support sought-after parties like this one, the revered Fontainebleau’s own NYE bash, and getting only the best feedback as a result. And with that, here’s to 2017, staffers! Remember us for any events you’re planning or staffing jobs you need this year. We can’t wait to see what these next 12 months have in store for all of us – so let’s make it a good one. For more information, please call (305) 890-1562 or send us an email: info@rmgstaffing.com
