Galas & Nonprofit Fundraisers
Black-tie events with red-carpet expectations. Signage, supervisor on site, and a guest-list-aware curb that matches the event's polish.
Luxury Event Valet
Galas, weddings, corporate launches, and milestone parties run on choreography. We staff to the actual guest count, walk the curb before the first arrival, and write a rain plan into every quote.
What we do
A wedding driveway is not a gala arrival. A corporate launch is not a holiday party. We staff each event for its own pacing, with a supervisor who has run that kind of curb before.
Black-tie events with red-carpet expectations. Signage, supervisor on site, and a guest-list-aware curb that matches the event's polish.
The driveway is part of the ceremony. White-glove handling of the bridal party, the getaway car, and every guest car behind them.
Investor days, shareholder meetings, product launches, and holiday parties. Staffed at the level your brand wants to be seen at.
Theater premieres, gallery openings, and consumer-facing brand events. Trained attendants in custom uniforms when the brand calls for it.
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and family gatherings on private estates. Discreet attendants who greet at arrival and disappear after the handoff.
Office holiday parties and venue-hosted seasonal events. Staffed for the calendar's busiest five weeks with the same quality every shift.
What's included
Every event quote includes all seven elements below. They are the floor, not a menu of upgrades. The only thing we add for an event versus a daily program is more attendants and event-specific signage.
Experienced, reliable, well-groomed and organized. Hired locally, supervised on every shift.
Guest greeting, direction, and information assistance. The team trained to feel like part of yours.
Sharp, consistent appearance. Custom uniform options available to match your brand.
Standard valet parking and directional signs at the curb, the lot, and the path between.
Cones, radios, and lighted equipment so the curb keeps moving even when arrivals stack.
Key storage, claim checks, and on-site directions. Every vehicle accounted for at every step.
Flashlights, umbrellas, and a fully stocked emergency kit. The boring details we never skip.

Frequently asked
It depends on guest count, arrival window, and the layout of your curb. As a rule of thumb, we plan one attendant for every 25 vehicles arriving inside a 30-minute window, plus a supervisor. We will tell you on a walkthrough.
Every event quote includes a written rain plan. Umbrellas, additional staff to escort guests from car to entrance, modified signage. We do not charge extra to invoke it. The Peninsula's microclimates have made us cautious; we would rather staff for weather that does not arrive than the other way.
Every attendant on a Peninsula crew is trained to drive a Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and Porsche Taycan, and to recognize when a vehicle should be parked closer to the door rather than rotated through the lot. For weddings and high-value events we record a written walk-around on every vehicle over a defined threshold.
Pricing is a function of staffing level, hours, location, and any layered services like shuttle or concierge. We do not publish a flat hourly rate because it would either misprice a small private dinner or a rain-prepped gala. After a brief conversation we can return a written quote within 24 hours.
Yes. We can issue a COI naming your venue, your wedding planner, your event production company, or any required additional insureds. The standard wording most Bay Area venues require is on file.
For one-off events we ask for as much notice as possible, but we have staffed events on a week's lead time when crews were available. For weddings and large galas, the typical lead is four to twelve weeks.
Often paired with
A wedding rarely needs only valet. A gala almost always needs more. These three are the most common companions on event quotes.
