Wedding Shuttle & Valet Coordination Guide

When ceremony and reception happen at different locations, or when hotels are far from the venue, wedding logistics become a transportation challenge. Coordinating shuttle service with valet parking creates a seamless experience where guests never worry about how to get where they need to be.

When You Need Both Shuttle and Valet

Ceremony and Reception at Different Venues

Guests who drive to the ceremony need parking there, then transportation to the reception, and finally a way back to their car. Valet at the ceremony site plus shuttle to the reception solves this cleanly.

Hotel Block Coordination

Wedding room blocks at nearby hotels benefit from shuttle service that brings guests to and from the venue. Valet at the venue handles guests who drive independently.

Destination Weddings

When guests are staying at various locations and the venue has limited parking, a combination of shuttles and valet accommodates everyone.

Coordination Best Practices

Timeline integration — shuttle departures sync with valet staging
Communication plan — guests receive clear instructions on transportation options
Signage — clear markers at hotel pickup points and venue drop-off zones
Backup plan — contingency transportation for stragglers and late guests
End-of-night coordination — staggered shuttles while valet processes departures
