From oceanfront weddings at Shutters on the Beach to nightly restaurant programs on Main Street and the Third Street Promenade β A&A Parking delivers white-glove valet service with every coastal permit handled.
Santa Monica is one of Los Angeles County's most active event cities β and one of its most permit-intensive. From the oceanfront hotels along Ocean Avenue to the dense restaurant corridors on Main Street and the Third Street Promenade, parking in Santa Monica requires expertise that only comes from years of navigating City of Santa Monica parking regulations, SMPD coordination, and coastal zone requirements.
A&A Parking Services has been providing professional valet parking in Santa Monica since 1999. We understand the specific challenges of parking in a city where street parking is scarce, residential neighborhoods adjoin commercial zones, and major events compete with everyday foot traffic from the beach and pier.
Santa Monica's iconic oceanfront properties β Shutters on the Beach, Casa del Mar, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, and the Fairmont Miramar β attract wedding couples from across Southern California. We've staffed hundreds of weddings at these venues and throughout the surrounding residential neighborhoods of Ocean Park and Sunset Park.
Our wedding valet teams handle guest arrival coordination, luxury vehicle care, and late-night departure logistics β all while keeping your event running on schedule. We obtain all necessary City of Santa Monica valet permits and coordinate with hotel security and venue staff in advance so there are no surprises on your wedding day.
For Santa Monica restaurants, consistent valet service is a competitive differentiator. Guests arriving for dinner at high-end establishments expect a premium arrival experience β and street parking in Santa Monica's busiest commercial corridors makes self-parking frustrating and time-consuming.
We offer nightly restaurant valet programs on Main Street, Montana Avenue, Wilshire Boulevard, and the Third Street Promenade. Our teams arrive before service, set up signage per city permit requirements, and manage vehicle flow throughout the evening. Programs can be structured as complimentary, validation-based, or guest-pay.
Santa Monica is home to the tech corridor along Wilshire Boulevard β often called "Silicon Beach" β and hosts major corporate events throughout the year. Whether your event is at a rooftop venue overlooking the ocean, a Santa Monica conference center, or a private office building, A&A Parking provides scalable valet teams sized to your guest count.
Corporate clients receive event-specific staffing plans, pre-event site visits, and post-event reporting. We coordinate with building management, parking structure operators, and city permit offices to ensure seamless logistics.
Residential entertaining in Santa Monica β especially in the Wilshire Corridor and ocean-adjacent neighborhoods β presents unique parking challenges. Limited street parking, residential permit zones, and narrow driveways require a valet team experienced with tight urban logistics.
Our private party valet teams specialize in residential events of all sizes. We handle neighbor notification, temporary no-parking sign procurement, and remote parking lot coordination when needed. From intimate dinner parties of 20 to large estate celebrations of 200+, we scale to fit your event.
