Creatives, Meet Your Best Shot at Sanity: An Event Assistant Who Keeps Your Business in Focus
You got into this for the art not the admin. But editing into the night and chasing invoices the next morning isn’t sustainable. YSO pairs photographers and filmmakers with trained Event Assistants who handle client flow, contracts, timelines, and gallery delivery so you can focus on your craft.
Shoot more. Stress less.
Your focus should be on the art. Not the contracts, emails, and delivery deadlines.
We know the creative grind and support your business with systems that don’t interrupt your flow.
DMs, Emails, and
No Replies
You’re editing one session while three new leads sit unread.
Overbooked and Overwhelmed
Sessions, consults, shoots, and deliveries booked across three platforms and zero systems.
Invoice Amnesia
Shoots are happening but payment and paperwork aren't.
The Gallery Gap
Gallery delivery, client reviews, vendor collabs forgotten once the shoot ends.
Copy-Paste Fatigue
Every client flow is built from scratch again.
Creative Burnout Is Real
You’re the shooter, editor, communicator, and admin... and it's catching up.
Think of your assistant like a studio manager who never forgets a task and never needs a reminder.

Trusted by Small Business Owners Who've Been Burned Before
Hear from small business owners who reclaimed their time and grew their businesses with our virtual assistants
Daniela E., Founder
I was working 14-hour days and sometimes until midnight. I was burned out and stuck in admin instead of doing the creative work people actually hire us for. Working with YSO gave me space to think, create, and enjoy the business again. Everything is more organized, and I finally understand what is happening financially. The biggest difference is that I did not have to train someone alone. YSO was there the entire time, building structure while my ops assistant learned. That took a huge weight off my shoulders.
100+ businesses have trusted our virtual assistants to handle their administrative tasks so they can focus on what they do best.
"But will they really get it?" Yes. Here's why.
We understand the unique needs of event vendors and have helped hundreds of owners get their time back!
How do I know they'll understand my business? We specialize in working with event businesses. Your Event Assistant will already know how to support businesses like yours, and we stay involved to make sure they're delivering. They're familiar with industry terminology, service calls, scheduling needs, and common customer inquiries for your specific business type.
Do I have to train them? Nope. That's our job. We'll onboard them to your tools, workflows, and customers. Our Event Assistants are pre-trained in common event business operations, including Honeybook, QuickBooks, and other industry-standard tools. We handle the training so you can focus on your work.
What if it doesn't work out? We guarantee a replacement Event Assistant, fast and free. But 90% of our matches stick long-term. We carefully vet and match each assistant based on your specific business needs, which is why our satisfaction rate is so high.
What's the cost? Less than hiring in-house, without the overhead. We provide 40 hours per week of dedicated ops support, helping business owners delegate admin, follow-ups, customer support, and day-to-day tasks so they can focus on growth.
What types of tasks can an Event Assistant handle for my business? Our Event Assistants can handle a wide range of tasks: answering and returning customer calls, scheduling jobs and sending confirmations, following up on estimates and unpaid invoices, managing your inbox and calendar, entering receipts/mileage/expenses into QuickBooks, tracking leads and CRM updates, posting updates to social media, and ordering materials or permits.
Can Event Assistants use our existing business software? Yes, our Event Assistants are trained to work with event industry softwares including Honeybook, QuickBooks, and other common business management tools. We'll create custom SOPs for your specific systems to ensure seamless integration.

Our Story
Jenna and Alexis have spent their careers building and operating businesses, not just advising from the sidelines. After seeing how often founders became trapped in daily operations, they created YSO to provide a better solution than traditional admin support or freelance help.
YSO helps founders delegate with confidence by combining operational systems, process clarity, and dedicated virtual assistant support. The focus is simple. Remove the founder as the bottleneck, create structure, and help businesses scale without chaos.
Everything YSO does is grounded in real startup and service-business experience, with an emphasis on execution, accountability, and long-term operational stability.
