Valet

Valet parking for guests. The plan estimates the car count from your confirmed households, sizes the driver team for the arrival peak, and records the lot, hours, and gratuity handling.

Also called: valet, parking, parking attendants, car service.

When couples book this

Usually booked about 7 months out. It moves with your date.

Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone

Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.

How would you like tipping handled?
Wishlist mirror of the gratuity_handling decision below.
Do you need an accessible drop-off?

What settles once booked

The working details you and your vendor pin down together.

How many cars?
DERIVED per-household, not per-guest — couples and families arrive in one car.
How many drivers?
Where do the cars go?
Service hours — arrival through last car out
How is the gratuity handled?
Accessible drop-off needs
DERIVED from guest needs profiles — the couple is never asked what the guest list already knows.
How do guests learn valet is available?
What time do they arrive?
The time you agreed together, not an estimate worked back from the ceremony.
What times are set on the day?
One row per moment — a serving round, a pickup leg, a person's slot, a set. Each row becomes its own block on your run of show, labeled with whatever you type, so name it for whoever will be reading it.
What time do they finish?
Who do you call on the day?
The name and cell number of whoever is on site — not the office line.
Where do they come in, and where do they park?
The load-in door or dock, where the vehicles go, and who opens up.
Do they need a meal?
Counts toward your caterer's vendor-meal number.
What balance is due on the day?
Your own figure, from your contract — what is still owed when they arrive.
What gratuity are you planning?
Your own figure. It rides beside the balance on the day-of money sheet.

How it lands on your day

Valet stand setup
Guest arrival peak
Guest departure peak
Set time
One block per row of the cell's dayof_service_times answer; the row's own label names it, and its `until` makes it a window.

How it’s usually priced

Usually priced as one flat amount.

Lines that sometimes ride along: Additional driver, Prepaid gratuity, Overtime (per hour).

What your vendor reads from your plan

Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: the event, counts, operation, schedule, contacts.

Plan your valet — and everything around it

These questions live as one cell of a connected plan: your budget, guest list, checklist and timeline all read from the same answers. See the whole board work, or join the waitlist and we’ll write when it’s your turn.
