F1 Weekend Review

Uptown Valet and Transportation had our busiest weekend ever with the Formula One races in Austin back in November. We had a host of parties to valet at, our chauffeurs working round the clock and official Circuit of the Americas shuttles to drive and manage.

We started back in August, with the Circuit of the Americas Shift into Style Austin Fashion Week kick-off. A busy event at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, it was an exciting night and an excellent combination of events, as Circuit of the Americans and Austin Fashion Week both know how to put on a show.

The weekend of the races, we had valet attendants at multiple parties Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. We parked more cars in that time than probably any three day period, with venues ranging from southeast Austin near the track, to downtown, to out closer to Johnson City where we parked cars for a party sponsored by Ferrari. Read our write-up of it here.

We also had shuttles wrapped with Circuit of the Americas branding in service throughout the weekend in addition to our chauffeurs working in all our cars as well as some that we made use of just for the weekend.  We closed out the weekend by returning to the Bob Bullock Museum, managing parking for the Circuit of the Americas Official After Party.

It was a busy weekend that we were happy to have gotten through well. Our staff and the people we worked with all weekend long were fantastic, and we look forward to working on Circuit of the Americas F1 events in Austin in 2013.

Bevo is Ready...are you?

With the first UT home game coming up this Saturday at 7 PM at Darrell K. Royal Stadium, how are you going to get to and from the game?  As a lot of Austinites (and Longhorn Nation) already know; traffic, parking, and just logistically getting close to drop off can be very frustrating.  Why not let Uptown Valet & Transportation take the load off?  Any of our transportation options (sedan, SUV, limousine, buses, etc.), can easily get you as close as possible to your entry gate.

Advantages of using our transportation:

- our limos come stocked with ice, water, sodas, and champagne buckets - you can tailgate before you get to the tailgate!

-  easy pick up and drop off - our chauffeurs are able to get you amazingly close

- don't have to deal with parking - enough said.

- all of our limos come with cd/dvd players and tv's  - play "The Eyes of Texas" all the way until kick-off!

So, if you are in need of transportation this weekend or any of the upcoming UT home games, please give us a call and let us get you to the game in style!

Venue Highlight - Laguna Gloria

We have had a good amount of work at Laguna Gloria throughout the years and have decided to highlight it on our blog so readers can get some more insight into what we do. Laguna Gloria is a lovely waterside venue, art school and museum that has been an Austin event mainstay for years and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Driscoll Villa is the centerpiece of the venue but the ample gardens and amphitheater are where any wedding ceremonies, receptions, or larger gatherings will take place.

On our side of things, there are many parking places located but a short run away on the museum grounds as well as street parking and a grass lot below the venue. The lots on the grounds themselves can get a bit tight but we are able to keep cars within the property for the majority of our events. Most of our events at Laguna Gloria are weddings - since it's a versatile venue we might work with around 50 guests one weekend and then 200+ the next.

In addition to valet work, we've also managed shuttles, driven guests in golf carts, and picked up the bride and groom in limos at Laguna Gloria. Laguna Gloria is one of Austin's most popular wedding venues, and it's one we have years of experience and enjoyment working at. If you're planning a wedding at Laguna Gloria or any other event we hope you will contact us so we may help your event run smoothly.
