Final Counts, payments or deposits are due 8 days prior to your event by noon. If you are paying by credit card, you are responsible for calling in 8 days before your party. Payment by check and money orders also must arrive 8 days prior to the event.

If you are planning a last minute party, you must call in by noon and pay for the final count with one credit card. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE FAXED IN.

VIP Offers 2 payment options.

A- VIP accepts payment by check, money order or by credit card, we accept Visa, Master Card, and American Express. You will be responsible for collecting payments from your guests and making the payment. You have an option to pay for all your guests on one credit card, or each of your guests can pay on their own. There is a $2.00 fee per guest for those paying separately. Payment must be made by the person listed on the contract. Simply discuss these options with your planner.

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 email you a credit card form which you will forward out to all guests attending your party. This will allow your guests to pay so that you do not need to collect payments. All Guests must pay by 8 days before the event date and will be bound by the same contract.

VIP never charges a planning fee for organizing your event. You pay for the package you choose.  That's it!

Final Counts, payments or deposits are due 8 days prior to your event by noon. If you are paying by credit card, you are responsible for calling in 8 days before your party. Payment by check and money orders also must arrive 8 days prior to the event.

If you are planning a last minute party, you must call in by noon and pay for the final count with one credit card. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE FAXED IN.

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 pre-pay 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, unless you have a limo or tickets to a show as these cannot be changed. 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 $100.00 for party buses, 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.

VIP is proud to say that we can provide all varieties of transportation to fit both budget and style! Below are VIP's modes of transportation.

If you plan on taking transportation to your event outside the Chicago land area, VIP must take into consideration gas charges, as well as driving time.
Additional pricing is as follows and is subject to change without notice.

Party Buses- 25-50 miles outside Chicago 100.00 to pickup and 100.00 drop off.

Limousines- 25-50 miles outside Chicago 150.00 to pickup and 150.00 to drop off.

If you choose pick up and drop off service, your transportation does not stay with you throughout your event. You will board at a pick up location (i.e. home or hotel) and be dropped off at your first destination (i.e. 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 (i.e. home, hotel, etc). For rates on pick up and drop off services, please contact an event planner at our office.

Dress codes at clubs and bars vary and must be followed. A good idea is to look at the nightclub information 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 hats, caps, flannels, gym shoes, boots (or anything that looks like boots, with the exception of women’s leather 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 or contact your party host.

The door staff at each club or bar has final word on dress code and can refuse entrance to anyone.

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. A list of venues we work with will be sent out to you along with pricing and perks at each venue when you request packages from our website.

VIP will send your itinerary via email 2 days before your event and this will include your package details, your contact information, addresses, and confirmation numbers. All you need to get you through the night will be on your itinerary. When arriving at each destination, the name of the party will be under the Bride's name, not the person hosting the event. It is also good to mention that you are with VIP Bachelorette. Some venues may ask to see your itinerary for confirmation. In addition, VIP also will provide you with 1 or more VIP Party Hosts (refer to section below for more information about party hosts).

Most clubs will allow parties to keep tables ONLY when purchasing bottle service. Fortunately, VIP maintains a great relationship with all clubs and bars, therefore if 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 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!

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. Bottle 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.

Alcohol is permitted on the party buses and limousines, however no glassware is allowed. VIP offers different packages in which some venues or activies will allow guests to BYOB. These venues and activites will be noted inside of the packages and pricing you can request from our website.

It is not recommended that that person try to go to another venue as they are likely not to be allowed entrance at the club's discretion. If your party booked a limo or bus, try to situate the guest in the limo/bus and wait for the rest of the party to end their night, or get them a cab to a hotel (if staying at one). We advise you use good judgment to take care of your guest, and please refer to our Survival Guide that will be attached to the e-mail along with your itinerary.

Most of our packages do NOT require a minimum in order to book an event. However, if you choose a package with transportation, there is a minimum of 9 guests for a limousine package and a 10 guest minimum for a party bus package. If you are working on a custom package with transportation, minimums may vary. If you choose a Dinner package, there are also minimums depending on the restaurant package you choose. Other packages that require minimums are spa packages, dance lessons, open bar packages, and more. All minimums are listed on our package pricing that must be requested in order to view. Once they are requested you will receive pricing for all of our packages via email.

If your group does not meet the minimum for the package you are interested in, it is still possible to book! Please call one of our event planners and they will assist you with custom pricing and details!

A VIP Party Host is responsible for making sure that everything runs smoothly during your event. He/She will contact you once, before your event and be available until midnight or 2am, depending on staff and availability. Tonight is YOUR NIGHT, and VIP does not want to intrude on your memory making! Your VIP Party Host will have a cell phone handy for any last minute add-ons, questions, or concerns. You can find your party host's telephone number located at the top of your final itinerary.

TIP- Store your host's number as soon as you receive your itinerary, you may call or text for confirmation or questions, please state your brides name for reference.

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 include no cover, no wait in line, VIP seating, reserved tables, free drinks, a bottle of champagne, etc. Each club/bar varies. What each club/bar includes in their package is explained under the club/bar name on the VIP clubbing page. Typically taxes and gratuity is included for transportation in most packages, and VIP always encourages tipping your bartenders and servers for good service (gratuity for bartenders and servers are not included in package price).

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 and be sure to mention VIP Bachelorette at the door. 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 (refer to section above for more information about party hosts) to work things out. Please do not call the office as it will be closed.
