SXSW Transportation

It's not yet February, but we're already gearing up for the week of SXSW. If you're coming into town for South by Southwest or planning events throughout the week and need transportation services let us know. We are a local, full-service transportation company able to provide for any of your transportation needs - both for South by Southwest or any other time through the year. We recently provided a host of services centered around the Formula 1 weekend back in November. Valet parking, chauffeur services, shuttle management and transportation, pick and drop-off from Austin's airport and more - our wide range of services were all used throughout the weekend. Check out our recap of that week.

If you're looking for any transportation services centered around South by Southwest, we'll be able to help. We can manage car service, airport transportation, shuttles, provide chauffeur services either in our fleet of available vehicles or in vehicles you request, provide valet services for your parties, concerts or events, and many other options. No service is too small or large and we rarely encounter a request related to transportation which we're not able to assist with.

We had a host of SXSW-related services in use last year and we're already getting our calendar filled out for this year's show. Contact Us for more info or use the contact form below - we hope to hear from you soon.

Uptown Valet at the LBJ Presidential Library and Musuem

Uptown Valet and Transportation was honored to provide our valet services for the recent State Dinner Gala at the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum, held on December 1st. Check out the write-up on it from the official site here. We parked 120+ cars that night and were busy throughout the evening, thus starting out December with one of our largest events of the month. The Library was celebrating their grand reopening complete with a newly renovated main exhibit which was on display for attendees and opened to the public on December 22nd. The LBj Library is Located on the University of Texas campus, and is definitely something everyone here in Austin as well as visitors from out-of-town should make a trip to in 2013.

If you'd like to use our valet services at your upcoming event, please contact us today or fill out a request form below.

Upcoming events at Uptown Valet & Transportation

It's starting to feel like autumn in Austin and that means the fall wedding and event season is upon us. October is probably only behind May as the busiest wedding month in Austin, and we'll be working every weekend providing valet services, getaway limos for the bride and grooom, shuttle coordination and more at some of the nicest wedding venues in Austin. We worked this past weekend at Laguna Gloria and the evening weather was lovely, and there's only going to be more of that on the way.

The Austin City Limits Music Festival will occur from October 12-14 and will feature a lineup of some of the best artists in the country. While some of our employees will no doubt be enjoying the music, we will be able to handle most any request that comes our way. If you're coming into town and need a ride from the airport, we can help you out. If you've got a party going on that weekend (ACL-related and otherwise) and need valets to manage your guest cars, let us know.

Circuit of the Americas will bring Formula One racing to Austin and we are going to see all of our services booked up for that weekend.  We've been renting out our limousines and luxury cars for months now and getting some valet and shuttle work as well. If you're looking for anything transportation related around the Circuit of the Americas, let us know quickly so we can allocate everything we can to meet your needs.

There are a slew of other, smaller events going on as well. If you're coming into town for the Austin Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Texas Book Festival or any other event this season, let us know - chauffeur, airport transportation, shuttle services - whatever it is you need we'd be happy to help. Contact us or make a reservation today.

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.

Uptown Valet's Free Honeymoon Getaway

We are pleased to announce a new special from Uptown Valet - the Free Honeymoon Getaway. If you use any two of Uptown Valet’s services for your wedding we’ll give you a free sedan or SUV ride to the airport the next morning. Simply use Uptown Valet for any two of: valet, shuttle services, or limo rental, and the free ride to Austin Bergstrom International Airport is yours - no special code or coupon required. This offer is transferable, so if the bride and groom are staying in town but have had a set of parents visit that they want to send home then it can be used on them. Or if you aren’t leaving on a honeymoon for a couple months and would like to redeem it then, let us know - it’s good anytime.

This is our way of saying ‘thanks’ to our clients who have trusted us with so much on their wedding day and allows us to ensure that they get to leave town in comfort and style.

If you want to use Uptown Valet’s valet services, shuttle management or limo rental for your wedding day, or if you have any questions, please contact us. Also, check out this post to see how Uptown Valet manages multiple transportation services at a wedding.  We hope to hear from you and hope to be giving you a free ride to the airport soon.

Example Of Full Service Transportation For A Wedding in Round Rock!

On May 19th,2012 Uptown Valet & Transportation had the distinct honor of providing wedding transportation, valet parking, the "getaway" car, and then airport transportation for the bride and groom the next day!

We first picked up the wedding party from private residences and took them to the beautiful Riverbend Church in Westlake.  After the ceremony all 230 guests (yes, 230!) drove to the reception (at a private home in Round Rock) where they were greeted by our friendly valet parking team.  The private home was tented by Marquee Tents and Events and transformed into a beautiful reception area.

As the reception concluded guests were provided with sparklers to send off the beautiful bride and groom in our '61 Cadillac.  It was such a fantastic night!

The next day we whisked the bride and groom away from the beautiful Intercontinental Stephen F. Austin and took them to the airport in our Cadillac Sedan, where they got on a plane to fly off for their honeymoon!

If you would like similar services or are interested in what Uptown Valet and Transportation can do for you, please contact us today!  We'd love the opportunity to be a part of your "big day!"

Thank you to all of our staff, vendors, and especially the families that made this wedding such a spectacular event!
