Models for events, fashion shows and photo shoots in Venice
On a runway the model walks a collection in front of guests, buyers and press, so the brief covers the fittings before the show, the number of changes and the order of the line-up. In a showroom the same person may wear pieces for a whole day so that a buyer can see how a jacket falls or how a fabric moves, and in that setting exact sizes count for more than stage presence. Photo shoots follow a photographer and a stylist from one set-up to the next, which in Venice can mean a campo in the morning and a hotel terrace by late afternoon. At a product presentation or a launch, promotional models stand beside the product and take the first questions guests ask about it.
Some of the work in this city has no ready-made category. A glassworks on Murano showing a new series to visiting buyers, a company dinner in a palazzo hired for the night, a film event where guests step off water taxis at a private landing: models can be booked for any of them. Your request can describe the event in plain words, with the place and what each person has to do, and the Event Manager builds the proposal around it. The profiles come from the network behind all our models for events.

Our model selection and portfolio in Venice
The models for a booking in Venice are chosen from the profiles that reach you once you have accepted the quote. Each one belongs to a person who registered on ToGet4U and built the profile themselves, with photos, the services they offer and their experience. ToGet4U does not scout, represent or manage models, and people who want event and shoot work apply to the modelling jobs posted on the platform rather than sending a submission to an agency.
An Event Manager puts forward the profiles whose experience and availability fit your brief. You compare those people and keep the ones who suit the collection or the product, so nobody is confirmed for your event until you have chosen them. The shortlist is drawn from the over 50,000 professionals registered across the platform, and in peak weeks 90% of selections are closed within 48 hours. The contract is then signed digitally on the platform, and each model knows the fee before accepting the job.
How to book models in Venice
Sending a request needs no account on the platform, and what shapes the proposal is a clear picture of what the models will be doing on the day. You receive a free quote first. Once you accept it, the Event Manager puts forward the people free on your dates, and you compare them before choosing. Request a free quote with a description of your show, shoot or presentation in Venice, its dates and where it takes place, and a dedicated Event Manager will follow the booking from that first message to the post-event stage.
Dress code, hours, positions and the names of your contacts on site reach each model in a briefing before the day, and on the day itself the Event Manager is off site. A collection shown in Venice may travel to Milan or abroad afterwards, and the contact does not change when the next request is for a shoot or a runway show in another European city.
Call times between the historic centre, the islands and Mestre
No cars run in the historic centre, so models, garment rails and make-up cases reach a set on foot over the bridges or by boat, and a call time has to allow for the walk or the crossing. A shoot on the Giudecca or the Lido adds a trip by water, while a studio or a venue in Mestre is reached by road or train like any other mainland location. It helps to add an exact meeting point to the address in the request, since an address in the historic centre is made of the sestiere and a house number, which says little about which landing stage or bridge to head for.
