or money order,
it must be

and money
orders, as long
as they arrive

VIP TIP- If you
are the person
hosting the
event, you
should collect
payments from
each guest
attending the
party before the
due date.
B-
VIP will create
an online paypal
account for your
party. This will
allow your
guests to pay so
that you do not
need to
collect. All
Guests must pay
by 8 days before
the event date
and will be
bound by the
same contract.
When paying by
paypal; if
someone does not
have a paypal
account they
would simply
choose the
option “pay with
my credit card”
Paypal will
allow them to
pay by credit
card. VIP will
also create a
personalized
online
invitation which
gives all the
party details.
Invite will be
emailed to the
person hosting
the event once
the contract is
received so that
you may send it
to your guests.
Please send us a
picture of the
bride so that we
may include that
in the invite.
Does VIP charge a party
planning fee?
VIP never charges a
planning fee for
organizing your event.
You pay for the package
you choose. That's it!
There are deposits
required for party
services such as psychic
readings, belly dance
lessons, pole lessons,
etc. Your deposit is due
8 days before your
event. There is no
deposit required for VIP
Clubbing or the Dinner
and Dancing packages.
There is a $50.00
cancellation fee ONLY IF
your contract is
returned and you cancel
8 days before your
event. Additional
cancellation fees may
apply if you have
transportation.
Once payments are made,
VIP cannot issue
refunds. We prepay for
all your services and
once payments are made,
we cannot retrieve the
money once it’s paid.
It’s best to collect the
money from all your
party guests and only
pay for those who have
paid you.
You can add additional
people up to the day
before the event. VIP
will then notify your
Clubs/bars/pubs,
Transportation provider
instructors, and/or
talents. We also need to
charge the card on file
(if paid by credit
card). If guests show
up without confirmation
from the office, they
will not be allowed in
the clubs and you may
incur extra charges for
transportation, door
fees, drinks, etc. For
these reasons, it is
important that you call
in all "add ons".
VIP usually recommends
transportation for 7
hours, However we can
offer transportation to
meet any request. This
means that our
transportation will stay
with you throughout your
night for as many stops
as you wish. If you
chose to go over 7
hours, or your night out
extends over the time,
we will charge your card
$75.00 for party busses,
and $150.00 for limos
for each additional
hour. If you paid by
check or money order,
you will need to pay the
driver directly for the
additional hours.

What is the pick up and
drop off transportation
service?
If you choose pick up
and drop off service,
your transportation does
not stay with you
throughout your venue.
You will board at pick
up location (ie:home or
hotel), and dropped off
at your first
destination (ie: Dinner,
Clubs etc). After your
entire night is
complete, you will then
be picked up at your
last location (usually a
nightclub or bar), to be
dropped off at your
final destination (ie:
home, hotel, etc).
Dress codes at clubs
and bars vary, but
must be followed. A
good idea is to look
at the nightclub
info included in our
packages.
Good rules for clubs
to follow are:
No excessive ripped
jeans
(trendy/fashion rips
that are small and
included within the
jean are ok). No
shorts, hats, caps,
flannels, gym shoes,
flip flops, boots,
baggy clothes,
jerseys, t-shirts or
sporting apparel.
If you have a
question whether
something might not
pass as dress code,
bring something
extra. The door
staff at each club
or bar has final
word on dress code.
VIP
always
offers No Cover &
Express Entry at
every club or bar.
In addition, VIP
also offers
different "perks" at
each club or bar you
choose. A Perk could
be a bottle of
champagne, a round
of drinks, a round
of shots, or all 3.
Depending on the
venue you choose.
VIP will
send your itinerary via
email 3 days before your
event,
and will include your
package details, your
contact information,
addresses and
confirmation
numbers. All You need to
get you through the
night is your itinerary.
When arriving at each
destination, you may
show the name on the
lists at the door will
be under the Bride's
name, not the person
hosting the event. In
addition, VIP also will
provide you with 1 or
more VIP Party Hosts
(What's a VIP Party
Host? Click

).
Most clubs will only
allow parties to keep
tables ONLY when
purchasing bottle
service. Fortunately,
VIP maintains a great
relationship with all
clubs and bars. When
your package includes
seating, most of the
time you will be able to
keep your tables
throughout the night.
Keep in mind that if
your party is not
utilizing your table, or
you have been seated for
a prolonged period of
time, clubs have the
right to ask groups to
relinquish tables. Many
clubs prefer to reserve
tables for customers
purchasing bottle
service. If a club
employee asks you to
give up your table, VIP
suggests that your group
all pitch in and buy a
bottle. It will ensure
that you can remain at
the tables and will be
an extra special gift
for your Guest of Honor!
What is bottle service?
Bottle service is a
great option especially
if the Guest of Honor
wants to be treated as a
celebrity. Bottle
Service usually
includes, VIP seating,
private servers, and in
some cases you may
receive private
bouncers, VIP dance
areas, and restroom
escorts. Bottles
prices often start at
$150 and can vary in
range. VIP Chicago
Parties offers
discounted Bottle
Service at many Clubs in
Chicago. Please contact
your Party Planner for
more questions.

What does "all
inclusive" mean?
Most of our packages are
all inclusive. This
means that when you book
a club or bar, you
receive everything that
is included with that
club/bar. This can
included no cover, no
wait, VIP seating,
reserved tables, free
drinks, bottle of
champagne, etc. Each
club/bar varies. What
each club/bar includes
in their package is
explained under their
name in each package.
Back to Top
What
should we do if we're
not on a list at a
club/bar?
Firstly, don't panic!
Stay calm and make sure
you're at the club
you're supposed to be
at, at the appropriate
time. The name on the
list will be under the
Bride's name, not
the person hosting the
event. If this does not
work, and your itinerary
lists that club (this
does not happen often),
or you have other
problems at the door,
contact your VIP Party
Host immediately
to work things out.
