Holiday Events in Miami
Holiday Events in Miami Miami is one of the few cities in the U.S. that has perfect weather year-round, but during the holiday season, we locals tend to envy northerners who actually experience the entire holiday season, which means fun in the show and the opportunity to have ugly Christmas sweaters contests. Our great weather makes it hard for us to enjoy the outdoor festivities the cold weather tends to bring. But despite our lack of snow, there is still some holiday season-themed activities that are great in our hot sunny weather. Below are the ten best things holiday events you should be doing. Enjoy! RMG Staffing finds and recruits the most talented professional for your events, contact us!

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
