No matter how much time, energy, and money you throw at an event- if the parking situation is a nightmare, it will overshadow the success of your soiree. When searching for event parking Dallas solutions, you want to make sure you partner with experts in the industry who have years of experience matched with an innovative spirit, who can turn your parking situation into an asset instead of a headache.
How much of an impact does poor parking have on an event and/or venue? Just a quick peek through Yelp and Trip Adviser reviews makes it painfully clear that parking availability and parking management is incredibly high on an event attendees’ list of success factors. Here’s a 3 star review for Shoreline Amphitheatre, “Great venue and absolutely the worst parking.” The reviewer was clear that the concert venue was in fact wonderful, but the parking inspired a subpar review. Here’s another 3 star review for a Mall in Dallas, “Great Mall worst in Valet parking.” These are not the impressions you want your guests to be left with. Additionally, you don’t want bad reviews like this to impact your potential clientele from visiting your space. If arrival and departure from your venue is a hassle, people will start looking for alternatives, period.
It’s not just about large event spaces dealing with parking complaints. This proves true for smaller events as well. Do you really want your wedding, house party or corporate event remembered for the parking hassle? Parking woes start stealing the spotlight from your special occasion; all this can, and should, be avoided.
What factors create a great parking experience?
There are two main facets to successful event parking. One issue to tackle is the actual space available (whether it’s a lot, street parking, garage, etc.) and optimizing the space to maximize available parking spots. The other aspect of successful event parking is flow- you want to ensure your guests arrival and departure is as seamless as possible. Good event parking management should be hardly noticeable- things run so smoothly that parking is an afterthought for your guests. Excellent traffic control and onsite parking operations should be planned well in advance and executed flawlessly on site. If the available parking is remote, shuttle bus services and golf carts can be procured, which helps increase the flow as well as demonstrates your commitment to the pleasure of your guests. Exceptional valet services will also help increase patron satisfaction.
