Private Parties(Bachelor, Birthday, Farewell)
Hi Ladies,
Have any of you ever done a private party? I would like to know how much you charged per hour, if you had security if so, how much. How did you charge for dances? Did you bring your own music? Were there any special shows, girl on girl or a special dance for the guy the party was given for?? I'm pretty sure I left something out. All information is appreciated !! If you think your post is too long please send me a PM.
Also, if you are a guy and have given or attended one please leave your input as well. What kind of dances did you receive? Did the girls use full light or dimmers, how was the dances timed. Did they hang around after the time they were paid for? What kind of dances do you expect at a private party. Also, do you still tip even though you know the girl gets a set fee.
Thanks A Million

I was best man twice in the past several years, so twice had to hire strippers for the bachelor party. First time was a friend from my club, second time through an agency. West coast rates vary- usually $150-$250/hr + tips for quality dancers, albeit current climate may have reduced this a bit. Now the direct questions:
>>>What kind of dances did you receive?
Bunch of nice, "stripper-friendly" guys as many were current and ex-club employees, so just standard faire lapdances.
>>>>Did the girls use full light or dimmers
Both times, full light.
>>>>how was the dances timed
A couple minutes. No real official timing. Drunken sods wave cash, dancer comes around and hops on his lap and lapdances until he looks queesy, then moves on to the next drunken cash waver.
>>>>Did they hang around after the time they were paid for?
Both cases, much longer. We offerred food, they stuck around and ate and drank. Would you turn down a free, all-you-can eat fresh grilled seafood and filet mignon buffet? heh.
>>>>What kind of dances do you expect at a private party.
As far as bachelor parties go, the relative size, strength and temper of the bride is directly proportional to the expectations placed on the strippers.
>>>>do you still tip even though you know the girl gets a set fee.
Absolutely. The fee is basically silently understood to pay for the stripper to show up, dance in the middle of the group for a song or two then give special attention to the "groom to be" Everything else, and party attendee lapdances are for tips.
Hope this helps!

Good luck!
Re:Private Parties(Bachelor, Birthday, Farewell)
I've done one bachelor party...there were two of us, $300 for 1 hour, and we brought costumes and music, and had their drivers licenses photocopied and left at the bar.
When we got there, they had a pole set up in the living room, strobe lights, and cheesy house music playing! it was hilarious. So we each just did a couple of long shows, no contact, then chatted a bit, and went on our merry way. It was fine. But this was a small town and we checked up on the guys with bar staff etc. before agreeing to do it. I'd be wary of doing one in a larger city, as I think the guys expect more.

I'm actually just starting to do Private Parties in my area. In fact I built the website last night. I've primarily been dancing in clubs for years but I have done a couple private parties in the past. They were through an agency and I got ripped off, not to mention they were unprofessional and the guys who booked got ripped off too. Now I'm going independent. I've used what I know of the biz as well as pick the brains of plenty guy friends who have been to or had private parties to figure out what I'm charging, rules etc.
Take a look at my website at http://www.lewdhost.com/xxx/Celeste/home.html
Check out my entire Party page for info. The only thing I don't list on the site is what I pay my security. I have 3 really good guy friends (so one is always available). We agreed on $50/ hour (show time only, minimum $50 even if the show ends up shorter).
I have also seen others that offer security $25 for the hour plus 10% of the tips.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
