« During the soirée, punctuality is not measured in minutes — it is measured in seconds. »
I
For the ascent of the steps, the charity galas, the state dinners, the Opera premieres, the weddings of friends and the yacht soirées, Maison Vehira conveys its guests to the soirées that make the Riviera's season.
The events service calls for a particular intensity : the punctuality is implacable, the bearing irreproachable, the knowledge of accesses indispensable. A motorcar arriving late is a missed ascent of the steps, a dinner without its guest, a toast without its speaker.
Vehira made events its specialty from the start, because that is where the true measure of a chauffeurs' house is taken.

A full season on the Riviera and beyond
III
The events service is intended for the invitees of international Festivals, the diners of charity galas, the guests of private soirées on yachts or in the villas of the Cap, the families celebrating a wedding on the Riviera, and the partners of major sporting events.
The Maison also regularly serves the production agencies that coordinate the appearances of personalities on the red carpet, and the press attachés who orchestrate the movements of accredited journalists.

How a soirée is prepared
The Maison receives in advance the list of soirées, their times, their dress codes, their exact venues — and their concealed accesses, when there are any. It plans the departures with a calibrated margin : wide for events with major traffic such as the Festival or the Grand Prix, exact for private soirées.
The chauffeur wears a black suit, a sober tie, white gloves should the soirée require them. His motorcar is washed the same day, its chrome wiped. It drops off at the right entrance — the guests' entrance, never the public's.
On the return, the motorcar is already waiting within the perimeter. The guest finds it without having to look. The Maison knows that at the moment of leaving a soirée, waiting is the worst of frictions.

VI
The conditions are established for the soirée or for the day, according to duration and to the number of motorcars mobilised. For major events — Festival, Grand Prix, Yacht Show — the Maison assembles a coordinated fleet several weeks in advance, with chauffeurs assigned to each motorcar and briefed on the codes of the evening.
Waiting is half the trade.
