Then their car will be safely transported to a safe parking area and when they are ready to leave, their car will show up right at the door. Now, how special is that? But to make this work, you need to find a professional and we stress the word professional service. You can start this quest by looking for valet parking services in the Raleigh area. Below we have provided you with a guide of tips and questions that should help you narrow down your search to the perfect candidate.

There are a number of ways that you can track down candidates. It is probably easiest to start talking to your family, friends and coworkers about experiences they have had with valet parking. Did anyone ever come away from an experience where they thought, “wow, that was amazing.” If so, try and find out who provided the service. Another potential source is the world wide web.

Once you have a list of at least 3 to 5 candidates, start going through the list one by one and setting up a time to talk about your wedding needs.

When you sit down with each potential candidate, you want to make sure that they understand how many guests you are going to have. Usually, the number of attendants that the service will provide is based on the number of guests that you will be having. If you feel like the number is not enough for your peace of mind, ask them how much extra it would cost for an additional attendant. Are they fully licensed and insured? This is a must to protect all parties involved. If they say they are not, run as fast as you can.

When you meet with each company, take a picture of the parking area with you and get their opinion about what can be done in terms of organizing all of the vehicles. What if there is inclement weather on the day of your wedding? For example, what if it is raining? Will the attendants have umbrellas to keep your guests nice and dry? What if the wedding is in the winter? Will the valets have scraper, shovels and salt? What is the bottom line price that you are going to have to pay for valet service? This should be enough information to make the best decision possible.
