A warm welcome for every guest
Weddings are about the details, and arrival is one of the first your guests will notice. Valet parking takes the stress out of finding a spot — especially for older guests, anyone in formalwear, and venues with limited or distant parking.
How many valets you’ll need
Valet staffing depends on your guest count and how guests arrive. Many guests carpool to weddings, so you typically need fewer valets than your headcount might suggest. A good valet company will recommend a count based on your numbers and your arrival window — a tighter window means more valets to keep the entrance moving.
Timing matters
Plan for valets to be ready well before your ceremony begins, so early arrivals are handled smoothly. It’s also worth coordinating the end of the night, when guests leave in a shorter window and want their cars promptly.
Budgeting and gratuity
Event valet is usually a flat rate for a set number of hours. Many couples choose to pre-pay gratuity so guests never have to reach for cash — a small touch that keeps the day feeling effortless.
Visit the venue first
A site survey lets the valet team plan traffic flow, drop-off points, and where cars will be staged. Epic Valet can survey your venue in advance so your wedding day arrival is calm, organized, and exactly as you pictured it.
