Frequently asked questions

Q: How do you determine the expected vehicle count?

A: In our 10+ years of service, we’ve kept thorough records of vehicle turnout. We’ve landed on the ratio of 35% for social events (wedding, mitzvah’s, etc) and 60% for corporate events. These percentages include a slight padding as we prefer to err on the side of caution.

Q: My RSVP’s are yet to go out, so my guest count and car count may change. Is that ok?

A: Yes! After confirming your booking, you can make any changes you’d like and we’ll always provide you with a revision. We simply ask that the final revision be locked in 15 days prior to the event date.

Q: Is there a minimum?

A: Technically, no. However, there are cost efficiencies and inefficiencies as vehicle counts increase or decrease. For example, a lot attendant is staffed at the rented lot. The cost for this attendant is the same be it for 1 vehicle or 50.

Q: What happens if we receive more or less cars than expected?

A: We staff and reserve parking according to the number of vehicles expected. Anywhere from 1-5 additional vehicles can be accommodated, but if we run out of parking spaces or manpower to accommodate the additional vehicles, those exceeding our abilities will be directed to self parking (either street or public lot).

Conversely, if fewer vehicles than expected show up, we are sometimes able to let go a runner or two early. In which case, we will refund you for the difference in hours not worked. 

Either scenario, the on site valet manager will be the one to make the call. It’s always great to have a slight cushion!

Q: Why is this more expensive than the typical valet costs?

A: Event valet is very different from restaurant valet. While a restaurant’s valet team sells the same parking spot, over and over throughout the course of the night - event valet does not. While a restaurant might receive 150 guests throughout the night, event valet receives 150 guests all at once! This means that we operate with much more staff and do not turnaround parking spaces - all of which results in a higher price point. Which is why we take pride in our tight operation and dedication to logistics and service.

Q: How long has WLV existed?

A: Our company was founded in 2015 from within the specific needs of the Marvimon Production’s clientele. Over the years we’ve honed in on all the precise elements that make for a friendly and efficient service. We’re here to share our wealth of event knowledge, as we’ve been around the block a time or two! (…4,068 events and counting!)
