Event Planners, Meet Your Planning Edge: An Event Assistant Who Runs the Backend Like Clockwork
You juggle timelines, vendors, clients, and the occasional crisis, all while trying to stay one step ahead. YSO pairs planners with trained Event Assistants who understand event coordination, vendor workflows, and client expectations.
From onboarding to day-of logistics, we help you stay organized—without losing your edge.
Planning events is high-stakes and high-stress. You shouldn’t have to manage it all alone.
We understand the constant coordination it takes to juggle clients, vendors, and timelines. YSO helps you hand off the chaos.
Lead Management Overload
Leads come in while you're at site visits and by the time you respond, they've moved on.
The Timeline Trap
Venue walkthroughs, client calls, vendor confirmations... but no one’s tracking it all in one place.
Paperwork Paralysis
You’re focused on the next event but paperwork from the last one is still incomplete.
Vendor + Client
Follow-Up Gaps
You forget to follow up, or worse, a vendor forgets to follow through and it reflects on you.
No Repeatable Workflow
Timelines, checklists, onboarding every client feels like starting from scratch.
Doing It All =
Doing Too Much
You’re wearing all the hats: coordinator, communicator, administrator, therapist.
Think of your Event Assistant like a project coordinator you don’t have to train - reliable, organized, and always one step ahead.

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.
