Our Event Team

Depending on how large your party is, you may see as few as two of us or as many as 35 of us.  Our staff are all hand-selected to represent us and to provide you with the best possible service.  All of our staff are employees of Select Service, they are not sourced from a temporary staffing agency, and we pay WSIB premiums to ensure you have no concerns with workplace injuries.  Our event staff are hand-selected for each event, and Victoria personally trains every new staff member to meet our high standards of service.
