Special Event Valet
Red-carpet valet. For the events that earn the press release.
Galas, fundraisers, museum openings, product launches, and premieres. Peninsula Parking runs the curb with a defined arrival choreography and a Peninsula supervisor on every event, so the first impression matches the rest of the night.

Frequently asked
Common questions about special event valet.
What special events do you cover?
Galas, nonprofit fundraisers, museum openings, product launches, premieres, anniversary parties, milestone birthdays, and private dinners. We have run events at the de Young, the Asian Art Museum, the Computer History Museum, and at private estates throughout the Peninsula and East Bay.
How is red-carpet service different?
Red carpet means a defined drop-off lane, additional signage, an extra attendant on greeting, and a written choreography for arrivals. The first impression is part of the event. We staff for it explicitly.
How many attendants do I need?
For a 100-to-300-guest gala with arrivals concentrated in a 30-minute window, we plan four to nine attendants plus a supervisor. Larger events scale linearly. We will tell you on a walkthrough.
Can you handle press and security coordination?
Yes. For events with press lines or executive protection, we coordinate vehicle staging, route attendants out of camera angles, and integrate with venue security on the radio.
What is the cost of valet for a gala or fundraiser?
Pricing is a function of staffing, hours, and any layered services. Most Bay Area galas fall in a range we can share on a brief call. Written quote within 24 hours.
