A&A Parking Services has run valet parking in Pasadena for more than 27 years — galas and fundraisers, weddings at historic estates, corporate events around Old Town, and private celebrations on the tree-lined streets of the historic districts. Pasadena hosts some of the most formal events in the county, and they are the least forgiving of a crew that arrives one attendant short.

Pasadena is its own city, and it is unusual in one important way: it permits the valet operator and, separately, the business or host sponsoring the valet. Hosts are regularly surprised by that second permit. We tell you at the quote which of the two your event actually needs, we handle the operator side, and the site survey is free.

Proof, Not Adjectives

What you can check before
you hand us a single key

Anyone can call themselves professional. These are the four things you can actually verify about us, and we would tell you to ask the same of any company you're considering for your Pasadena event.

📜

A certificate of insurance with your name on it

Before the date we send a COI naming your venue, your HOA or your building as additional insured. If a venue's contract asks for specific limits, we match them or we tell you we can't — we don't send a generic certificate and hope nobody reads it.

🏷

Attendants you can identify

Uniformed, background-checked, and where the jurisdiction issues attendant cards, carrying them. You are welcome to ask the crew lead on arrival — they expect the question.

📋

A written quote and a staffing plan

Not a number over the phone. You get how many attendants, what hours, where the cars go and what happens if guests leave all at once — in writing, before you commit.

📄

A real client reference letter

We ran the parking at one Valley parish and banquet hall for fifteen straight years. The priest put it in writing on his own letterhead in 2012, and we publish the letter rather than paraphrase it. Read the letter.

We don't publish invented customer quotes. What's on this page is either verifiable, linked, or clearly labeled as our own description of how we work.

Local Knowledge

What parking in Pasadena
actually looks like

Pasadena's parking difficulty is mostly a function of its architecture: deep historic lots with narrow frontages, mature street trees that can't be worked around, preferential parking districts, and civic venues that fill a neighborhood in fifteen minutes. None of that is solved at the curb on the night.

Historic districts and the estate streets

Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights, Oak Knoll and the streets around Orange Grove have narrow frontages, mature parkway trees and preferential parking rules that residents actively enforce. An estate that looks like it has plenty of room usually has a driveway that holds four cars and no legal overflow. These blocks reward a staging lot and a short shuttle over a curbside stack, and that decision has to be made at the survey, not at seven o'clock on the night.

Old Town and the Playhouse District

Old Town runs on structures and metered blocks with restricted turns and heavy pedestrian traffic on any weekend evening. A curbside valet lane through the core is usually not available, so the workable plan is a structure with a controlled route and enough attendants to keep that route flowing. The Playhouse District has the same shape with tighter streets.

Rose Parade season changes the whole map

From late December through January 1, street closures, no-parking postings and event restrictions across the city make a normal valet plan unworkable on a lot of blocks. If your date falls inside that window, tell us early. The plan is different, not impossible — but it is not something to discover the week before.

Two permits, and one of them may be yours

Pasadena permits the valet operator and, separately, the host or business sponsoring the valet operation. Both go through the Department of Transportation, Parking Division. We handle the operator side and walk you through the sponsor permit when your event needs one — including telling you when it doesn't. The City Service Center at (626) 744-7311 is the front door if you want to confirm anything we tell you.

Pasadena Valet Permits

Pasadena permits the operator
and the host separately

Most hosts assume valet parking is just a service you hire. In Pasadena it is a permitted activity — and uniquely, the city permits both the company running the valet and the host sponsoring it.

Here is what actually applies to a Pasadena address, and how you can check that any company you're considering — including us — really holds it.

📜

Two permits, and one of them is yours

Pasadena is unusual: the city runs a valet permit for the operator and a separate Valet Sponsor Permit for the business or host putting on the event. Hosts are often surprised by the second one. We'll tell you at the quote which of the two your event needs.

🚃

The Department of Transportation runs parking

Valet and parking permits go through Pasadena's Department of Transportation, Parking Division. The City Service Center at (626) 744-7311 is the front door if you want to confirm anything we tell you.

🛡

Insurance before the date, not on the day

We carry general liability and garage keeper's liability and issue certificates naming your venue, club or HOA as additional insured. Pasadena venues tend to ask for these in advance, so we send them early.

Pasadena Valet FAQ

Questions Pasadena hosts actually ask

Possibly — Pasadena is unusual here. The city permits the valet operator, and it also issues a separate Valet Sponsor Permit for the business or host sponsoring the valet operation. So there are circumstances where you need a permit of your own on top of ours. We tell you which applies at the quote, we handle the operator side, and we say so plainly when your event needs neither. Both go through the Department of Transportation, Parking Division; the City Service Center is (626) 744-7311.
No. Pasadena is its own city with its own permits and its own department handling them, and an LA operator permit has no standing here. The same is true of a Burbank or Glendale permit. We confirm which jurisdiction your address is actually in before quoting a street plan, because getting that wrong is how an event ends up with a citation instead of a valet stand.
General liability and garage keeper's liability, and we can name your venue, building management or HOA as an additional insured on request. The certificate goes out before your event, not on the day of it — venues in Pasadena almost always ask for it in advance, and a company that can't produce one quickly is telling you something.
Usually yes, but the plan is built differently and it has to be built early. Street closures and no-parking postings around that window take blocks out of play entirely, so the staging area moves and the route changes. Tell us the date as soon as you have it. What we won't do is quote you a normal plan for a date we know won't support one.
That is the most common Pasadena situation, and the answer is a staging lot plus a shuttle. Guests are dropped at the door, cars go to an arranged parking area, and a shuttle brings people back at the end of the night so nobody is walking a dark street in formal shoes. We identify and arrange that lot before the date, and we tell you honestly at the survey if an address simply can't support the guest count you're planning.
It depends on the guest count, the arrival window and, above all, the distance from the drop-off point to where cars are parked. A guest list arriving over two hours needs fewer attendants than the same list arriving in twenty minutes. We size the crew from your actual arrival curve and put it in writing in the quote. Our valet staffing calculator shows how the math works.
For a weekend event in peak season, two to four weeks gives us room to run the site survey and file any permit your address requires. We do take same-day and next-day bookings when a crew is available, but a rushed booking limits the permit options, so booking earlier is genuinely cheaper and calmer.
Full-service event valet runs $600 to $3,500 for the whole event — a total event price, not a per-car and not a per-guest price. The starting package is $600 for four hours with three uniformed attendants, up to 50 guests, and every booking has a 4-hour minimum with a 3-attendant minimum crew, which makes $600 the lowest price for any event. Above that, the crew grows by one attendant per 15 cars. The formula is attendants × hours × $50 — $50 is the hourly rate per attendant, and it does not change with the city, the day of the week or the type of event. The full pricing breakdown shows every step and the overtime rate. Tell us the date, guest count and address and you’ll get a written, itemized quote — usually the same day — with no charge for the site survey.
