Looking for additional options for your company Holiday Party that ensures your guests safe departures home? If hiring a transportation company (see the Designated by Design blog) isn’t the correct fit for your holiday event or party, valet parking and lot management can be.
As we all know, parking in Seattle and surrounding areas is at a high premium and with our ever drizzly weather, walking miles from parking garage to venue is never ideal. Hiring a valet company not only gives your guests the immediate acknowledgement that they are special; it really sets the tone of your party’s success.
How to find the perfect valet company for your special event? Start with these questions:
- Do they offer an assortment of uniforms to fit the profile of your events? Elf hats anyone for Santa’s little helpers?!
- Are they equipped to handle changing weather conditions? Do they have deicer, shovels for accumulating snow? Umbrellas?
- Do they have an organized, professional, secure way to store guest’s keys?
- Are they taking such safety precautions as serialized claim checks?
- Do they meet the industry standards for insurance?
- What options are available for payment and handling gratuities?
- What do their references have to say about their level of service?
- Do they offer additional services my guests could benefit from? Coat Check Services, Transportation Coordination or Traffic Marshaling/Directing to name a few.
Valet companies we recommend are:
Butler Seattle
Your Valet, Transportation & Tour Specialists
(also known as Butler Valet, Inc.)
A final note on holiday party safety:
Starting this year, Butler Seattle – Butler Valet is happy to bring you a new Holiday Service Special – The Designated Butler. With Butler Seattle’s twenty years of holiday parties under their belts, they know that there is a need for designated drivers when it comes to successful holiday parties. The Designated Butler offers you the host, peace of mind, by offering a chauffeur plus another driver to drive your guests car home. Often time guests, who are unable to drive home safely, insist on it because they want their car available first thing the next day. By having a second driver this argument becomes powerless and you & your guests can be free to enjoy in the evenings festivities to the fullest.
Wishing you the happiest & safest holiday season!

These are great tips, especially "uniforms to fit the profile of your event" this can be the first look the guests see at an event and really set the tone, it is something we will be including in our event planning
Hi Butler, I like the service you provide, it is well planned service. After read your post I can say that, for planning successful holiday it should require one experience holiday planner experts like you. Now there are many institutes offers Event Management courses and planning courses for this growing field.
