The valet business is never dull.  Every engagement is different. In fact, it’s a rare opportunity to witness life’s most significant celebrations and milestones firsthand—weddings, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, holiday parties and the most elegant black-tie events in Dallas/Fort Worth.

For the most part in our work, we are privileged to see people at their very best—unless they do too much “celebrating,” of course.

And we are also a part of life’s greatest sorrows and difficulties—providing transportation for grieving families and/or friends at funerals and graveside services.  In addition, we provide essential parking services for medical offices, nursing facilities and hospitals—helping the elderly, ill and incapacitated. At both ends of the human spectrum, we are truly honored to be involved in life’s most lasting memories.

No matter what your unique transportation need might be, please let us know how we can be of service.

The holidays are just around the corner. Can you believe it? Party season is our busiest time of the year, so we want to give you the first opportunity to schedule your valet service with us. We have and will cover it all—and are pleased to work within your budget.  Here are some great ideas:

Holiday Parties (home and/or office):
Whether you are inviting 20 or 200—Halloween spooks or New Year’s revelers, we will help you manage your guest logistics--especially valuable when the weather is uncertain and neighborhood parking is limited.


Birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs and Baby Showers:
The possibilities are really endless. One of our clients recently told us she had never even considered valet parking for a baby shower, but a friend had mentioned seeing us here on BubbleLife—so she gave it a try.  “It was great,” reported mom-to-be Jenny. “My guests loved it, because they were carrying the presents—some bulky, like highchairs and strollers. And how great to have R & R's help when we were leaving the party!”

Give us a call, or share your story here.  Mention this post, and receive 10% off your event.

Think of R & R Valet as your logistics partner whenever you are managing a group or flow of people -- whether for business of pleasure. In Dallas, we live in our cars – so when you invite people, you invite their cars.  Our primary objective is to make your life easier and your event or gathering a success. Here are a few ideas you may want to consider. Let me know what you think:

 

  • Realtor's Open House -- When parking is limited in a neighborhood, a valet on duty may increase the attendance and encourage those who may not want to deal with the parking hassle.
  • Gated Community or Condominium Sales Event – Our special shuttles can facilitate showing multiple properties or units -- especially on large grounds.
  • Your Shop or Boutique’s Special Event  -- Shopping centers can be a parking nightmare – testy drivers jockeying for the best spaces and limited availability. If you are hosting an open house, trunk show or retail reception, valet parking can help create a more positive guest experience and more productive event.

Visit our website -- R & R Valet or call us anytime at 214-444-3188 (Dallas) 817-905-9454 (Fort Worth and Metro).  Mention this post and get your first half hour for free.

Coordinating wedding transportation may not be the very first thing on your wedding-planning list, but it is essential. The Knot, an online wedding hub, provides a helpful that is sure to put you on the road to marital bliss.

Budget

Know your buying power to make it easier to choose the appropriate services and proceed with your plan. Figure $50-$75 per hour per car (depending on transportation mode) and $20-$25 per hour per valet for parking service. Be sure to factor in tips -- about 15-20% of the bill (often added to your total in advance).

Who Pays?

Contemporary grooms are generally expected to take charge of transportation arrangements. Traditionally, the bride's family pays the wedding party's transportation needs (to ceremony, reception, and wherever the couple's going afterward), plus any parking expenses. The groom's family covers just the groom's and best man's ride to the ceremony. Depending on who is footing the bill for other wedding items, transportation and parking fees should be easy to split evenly between families.

Arrival, Departure, Family, and Wedding Party

Do you see yourself in a horse-drawn carriage or a lightning-white stretch limo?  A Pink Cadillac or matching skateboards?  Let this decision reflect your wedding’s overall style. In terms of other transportation needs for the family and attendants, compare prices as you shop around based on your number of participants.  One stretch limo might be cheaper than two town cars.

Valet Parking Needs

Depending on the number of guests, you may want to choose a full-service valet team. Four valets, plus a site manager generally can service 100 guests. Choose from these options:

  • Buses: 52-passenger capacity
  • Vans: 7-passenger capacity
  • Parking attendants only
  • Valet parking

Let us know at R & R Valet if we can help you weigh options for your wedding.
