I recently had lunch with a great industry vendor at one of Atlanta’s best restaurants. When I arrived to valet, I was given a small remote control. I asked, “What is this?”. The valet attendant explained that I should press the button when I was ready for him to pull up my car. I instantly thought, how great that would be for guests at a wedding.

I’ve had many weddings where having a valet service would make the flow of parking so much easier for the wedding guests. Yet, I find that immediately after the cake cutting, or upon announcing the last dance, a large number of guests leave, and still have to wait for their car.

Providing a valet remote control service at your next wedding is a great idea. It gives the guests a chance to request their car without the wait. In Atlanta?? Give Eagle Valet and Parking a call.
