6 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTY:

Make a guest list. Have the bachelor and someone on the bride's side help you with this.
Pick a date that works for everyone. HINT: This date is often the same date as the bachelorette
party.

5 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTY:

Find the perfect location (click here to use our Location Finder) and secure your date there.
Book your entertainment at www.tasteofheaven.com/forms/bookingform.htm
Consider having the bachelor or guest of honor select his favorite girls from the web site.
Add the cost of the venue, food and drinks to the cost of the entertainment. Divide that number by the approximate number of expected guests. (Hint: Add an extra $5-$10 per guest above that number to help offset bar overages, unexpected charges, and guests that couldn't make it.

3 TO 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTY:

Send out invitations requesting RSVP’s by at least 2 weeks prior to the party.
Make sure all of the guests plan to arrive before the entertainer(s), especially the guest of honor. If you have entertainment coming at 8:00, make sure the invite says 7:00.
Provide your guests (and the entertainers) with a map and directions to the location, especially if it is in a new subdivision, out of the way, or otherwise difficult to find.

2 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTY:

Email and call all guests who haven't confirmed yet. This will help you determine how much
to ask each confirmed guest to pitch in.
Have your guests view the entertainer’s photos www.tasteofheaven.com It’s a great way to
boost attendance!

THE WEEK OF THE PARTY:

Confirm your entertainment at (630) 655-0400.
Make sure your venue has the deposit, the contract is finalized, and all last minute details are taken care of.
Finalize all catering orders and drop off/pick up arrangements (if applicable).
Speak with the bachelor beforehand about what he does and does not want during his own party. A little embarrassment is okay, but you want him to have fond memories of his last single night, not memories of shame and humiliation.

A Word about Your Bachelor:  Keep the bachelor drinking, but not drunk. You want him to remember hot
chicks, not the bottom of a toilet bowl.

THE DAY OF THE PARTY:

*Provide plenty of change for your guests. Buy singles, fives and tens from your bank to exchange for your guest’s larger bills throughout the night.
* Pack extra clothes and a travel bag for the bachelor.
*Make a last minute liquor run, if needed. Handle last minute details (full tank of gas, fully charged cell phones, etc.)
*Make sure the bachelor is clean. If you've been at the batting cages or golfing all day, have the bachelor stop off for a quick shower. In any case, bring clean pants, shirt and skivvies, just in case (wink, wink).
*Make sure your bachelor has his favorite drink on hand, but don't let him get too drunk. He must be able maintain his balance and sit upright in a chair on his own. If he is near vomiting or otherwise physically sick, tired or unstable, the entertainers will choose you or someone else as a stand in. So try to stay fairly sober.
*Collect money from your guests as they arrive, and cross off those who have paid from your guest list.
Please be ready for the entertainer(s) by having their payment ready. Remember that you will be dealing with lots of other people’s money. Keep it in a safe place. If you plan on drinking and good old dependable Bob, whom you've known since the third grade, won't be, then entrust him with the finances, and give him the list of whom to pay.
*Provide a clean and separate bathroom or room for the entertainer(s) to get ready in, one that the guys are not allowed to use. 
*Communicate the bachelor's wishes, requests and any physical limitations he may have to the entertainers at this time.

Your entertainers may arrive early or have spare time between shows. They would love to sit down with your party, so make them feel welcome. Offer entertainers food and beverages, including some non-alcoholic selections. Take no offense when they refuse offers of liquor or drugs. Please understand that bottled water is usually preferred over hard liquor when they're wearing six-inch heels and dodging your crazy Uncle Ned. Remember, it is their job to work and your job to party.
   Now...Party!

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PARTY:

Don't let guest’s drink and drive. Offer to drive inebriated guests home, get them a cab, or insist they stay over.
Tuck your boy in. Nighty Night.

THE DAY AFTER THE PARTY:

Reward yourself for a job well done! (You could always book more strippers...)
Send Us Your Review.
Recover.
Help the Bachelor Recover.
Try to figure out whose thong is hanging from the ceiling fan.
Issue apologies in mass quantities (probably to the bride's side).

Are Photos Allowed?

Cameras, cell-phone cameras and/or video recording devices are NOT to be used at any during any show. When you book a show, you guarantee that no unauthorized photography will take place. Understand that any and all recording devices can and will be confiscated and that your entertainer retains the right to leave. No refunds are provided in the case of unauthorized photography – and no exceptions will be made to this rule. If an entertainer or her driver asks to hold a camera or other suspected recording device for the duration of the show to ensure it isn't being used, let them. If a guest repeatedly or covertly tries to take photos or video of a show, take the camera from them yourself and hand it to the entertainer or her driver. Taste of Heaven entertainers have created a solution by offering Polaroid pictures. This way, they have some control over the content of the photo and your bachelor and other guests can still bring home souvenirs. Entertainers without Polaroid cameras are usually happy to pose for a few pre-show photos if asked ahead of time.

Rules, what rules?

Yes, even entertainers have rules. These rules are intended for the safety and security of the entertainers, the bachelor and your guests. The #1 rule to remember is treat the entertainers with respect. As the host, it is your responsibility to keep your guests under control. It‘s a good idea to ask a couple of friends to help maintain good behavior to ensure your party goes smoothly. Be sure that the bachelor and ALL of your guests are not physically abusive, careless or verbally disruptive to the entertainers. Don’t allow one rude guest to ruin the show for everyone. If a guest is rude, disrespectful or behaves in a threatening manner, the entertainers have the right to end the show and leave - no refunds. Of course, our entertainers never want to leave, so they will usually issue one warning to the offender. Remember, it's better to provide a disruptive guest a back seat during the show or ask him to leave than to have the entertainers leave. Our entertainers want to have fun, make money, and see you again at future shows. They have done hundreds of shows and really know how to make your party a success. So if the entertainer makes a request or issues a warning, please be kind enough to respect her wishes.

Do we have to tip to get a good show?

Tipping throughout any entertainer's performance leads to a better and longer show. A good rule of thumb:
Entertainment Industry workers normally receive 20-30% of their walk-in fee in the form of a tip (R.S. Guide
to Tipping, November 2006). If your entertainer honors a special request, stays over her allotted time, or
deals with an especially rowdy crowd, consider tipping more. You may tip your entertainers before they
begin their show, or at the end. In either case, make sure you provide plenty of bills for change in the form
of fives and tens for your guests to tip throughout the show.

More on Tipping:

Entertainers love the Best Men
who call out for tips on their behalf, and who also encourage the other guests to tip throughout the show. 
Even tipping an entertainer’s driver $10-$20 up front can go a long way, especially if you have one friend
who is prone to acting like a complete ass anytime beer and estrogen are in the same room. If you’re renting
a restaurant, hall, or a bar’s private party room, don't forget to tip the bartenders and waitresses that work
for the establishment before and throughout the show. This also goes for doormen, Valet’s, and even bus boys.
Anyone who is in the position of helping your show run smoothly should be tipped. This might help you
later if you run over your room time, if someone makes a mess, or if guys start fighting and break something.
Booking through a licensed and bonded agency, such as Taste of Heaven, will provide coverage for the cost
of damage inadvertently caused by an entertainer, but not that of any damage caused by you or your guests.

What is the difference between a “Basic” Strip and one with "Packages" or "Upgrades?”

  Basic shows are priced from $150-$175 and last 35-45 minutes. Most entertainers, regardless of which agency they work for, ask if you'd like to purchase a “package” or “extras” before they begin their show. Taste of Heaven entertainers come loaded with bags of supplies, goodies and gadgets. All of the wonderful objects and activities within those bags are optional. You and your guests will still get a very nice show without them. By making an extra pre-show donation to your entertainers, they will know just how many gadgets they should pull out of their bags during the show. So listen when the entertainer(s) explain what additional activities they offer, and see how your budget looks. Consider collecting an extra $5-$10 per guest (over and above your actual expenses) so you will be ready to purchase the stripper’s extras and tip them to stay longer as well!

Do you NEED these extras?

No. You and your guests will still get a very nice show without them. Nobody NEEDS a sports car, either,
but damn if they aren't fun to drive! So listen when the entertainer(s) explain what additional activities
they offer, and see how your budget looks. HINT: Think about collecting an extra $5 or $10 per guest
over and above your actual expenses so you will be ready to purchase stripper’s extras and tip them to
stay longer as well!

What about agencies who offer 3-stripper deals for as low as $255 - $355?

If you've been price shopping for the best deal be aware that, in this business, you get what you pay for. If you're on a budget, you may be tempted to order a cheap package such as the all too common "2 fashion shows and a stripper." Be aware there are many unscrupulous agencies in the Chicago area relying on consumers just like you. These agencies have the lowest prices for a reason: they employ girls that are far less attractive and less talented. Most of their entertainers aren’t even pictured on their web site. In our opinion, if the girls aren't good-looking enough to have recent photos of themselves on-line, they should not be entertaining at any party.
Beautiful and talented entertainers don't work for low wages. The entertainers at Taste of Heaven are beautiful, in excellent physical shape, and come prepared with new costumes, and fresh, creative skits and choreography. Our dancers utilize professional photographers, make-up artists, trainers, and other health and lifestyle related professionals in order to keep themselves in high demand. We pay our entertainers very well so they will continue to invest in themselves and make their shows top-notch. Many of our entertainers have performed as headliners in gentlemen's clubs across the country, and are currently featured in adult magazines and films. Taste of Heaven is fully licensed and bonded by the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois, and will continue to uphold high standards for our entertainers.

How do I know if the photos are real?

Taste of Heaven is a reputable agency that maintains a web site accurately showcasing all of our entertainers, and we continually update and expand our site with new features and content. All of the pictures on www.TasteofHeaven.com  and on our entertainer’s business cards are 100% authentic. Our entertainers model regularly to ensure that we have enough high quality images to please our clients. We feel it is especially important to re-shoot our entertainers whenever they have made a major change (such as hair color, breast augmentation, meeting a fitness goal, etc). Our goal at Taste of Heaven is to make sure your viewing experiences are fresh and enjoyable (both on screen and off) and we want your decision to be informed and effortless when selecting from the entertainers on our site.

If an agency assures you that they have the hottest entertainers, they should have many pictures of every girl to back up their claims. Be wary of companies that post only ONE photo of each girl. Usually, this means that a stock photo was stolen from a random content site on the Internet or - worse – scanned from a magazine. These tactics are illegal and in violation of copyright laws. At least three agencies currently advertising on web sites in the Chicago area are currently employing these deceptive practices.  Sadly, when a customer orders from one of those agencies, the girls pictured will NOT arrive at his party.

Our Advice: Be discerning when site surfing. If in doubt, ask to see several additional photos of each girl. If an agency can't provide more than one photo of an entertainer, shop elsewhere - fast!

Will the girl(s) I order really show up?

If you've been "bait-and-switched" by a disreputable company in the past, you're probably a little gun shy, and we understand that. We're not going to tell you that an emergency situation can’t arise with an entertainer you may have selected. No agency can promise that, after all, we're all human. But we do promise to try our absolute hardest to get you your first choice entertainer, every time. In the rare event this is not possible, we will contact you immediately to let you know your second choice entertainer is on her way. There will be no surprises, since you had already pre-approved a second choice. You are always guaranteed your first, second or third choice of entertainers when you reserve entertainment with Taste of Heaven. If a girl walks through your door that isn't on our web site, she doesn't work for us, plain and simple. In addition, if an entertainer is not up to par, you have the right to turn her away without paying a dime, regardless of the agency. If you feel you have been "bait-and-switched," either in the past or recently, don't hesitate to use the rights guaranteed to you as a consumer by calling the Better Business Bureau and the State of Illinois licensing department. When we come down on agencies that use fraudulent and illegal "bait-and-switch" practices, we can create better experiences for all the party-givers and partygoers that come after us.

Does Heaven work for any other company?

Heaven works only for Taste of Heaven and for her Feature Dancer booking agency of choice. Heaven may be contracted for any Chicago Metropolitan area booking through the Taste of Heaven web site or by calling (630) 985-8500. Heaven took the time and effort to trademark her name to secure her growing reputation and ensure further repeat business from her name recognition. Trade and service marks for Taste of Heaven, HYPERLINK "http://www.tasteofheaven.com/" www.tasteofheaven.com and tasteofheaven.com are also in place to assure our clients of the authenticity of the "Heaven" they were reserving. We say this only as a courtesy to Heaven's clients: If another agency claims to have a Heaven working for them, this is not Heaven of Taste of Heaven. If you book a Heaven through any agency other than Taste of Heaven you will NOT be getting the Heaven featured on this site. If you have any doubts, or if one of your friends claims that Heaven will be featured at an upcoming event, don't hesitate to call us at (630) 985-8500 or email Heaven directly through this site. If, in your web travels or elsewhere, you happen upon material, agencies or web sites claiming to employ Heaven, picturing Heaven, posting photos of another girl using Heaven's name, or otherwise using or infringing upon any of the above mentioned trade and service marks, please contact us immediately. All information provided to us in regard to this serious matter will be treated anonymously and held in the strictest of confidence.

Where should I hold my party?

HOUSES are private and have no time limits, and parties at houses are usually cheaper, so you can spend more money on the entertainers. However, if you have neighbors who are likely to be nosy or complain about noise, or wives and girlfriends that are prone to stop by, opt for a different location.
BARS are great because they clean up the mess for you, there is usually a bar and food package, decent parking, and the rooms can be quite spacious. Bars can get costly and some have a minimum number of guests that you must guarantee, so shop around. Bars also have room time limits (8-12 being the most common).  If you decide to use a bar, visit the party room first to ensure that it is what you, your guests, and the entertainment will be comfortable in for several hours.
VFW HALLS tend to be VERY roomy, easily accommodating groups of 60 or more. VFW's are also inexpensive, but there's not much ambiance in the green tile floors and florescent lighting. Plus, you'll have to bring in your own food and (possibly) drinks. There may also be a room time limit; check with the VFW Hall in your area.
GOLF COURSES and BANQUET HALLS tend to be very spacious, and they pride themselves in providing "one-stop shopping." The food is usually great, they have comprehensive bar packages, clean surroundings and the opportunity to golf all day, too. Check with each facility to make sure that having adult entertainment is OK. Make sure the location is convenient to your guests and remember, although these places can make for a great party, they can also get costly. Even if your guests aren't golfers, these facilities often rent out their empty spaces for evening parties - with or without a sit-down dinner package.
HOTELS are clean and quiet. And, unfortunately for your bachelor party, most of them like to stay that way. Be honest and up front with the hotel staff by telling them that you will be having a bachelor party. Oftentimes, hotels have a secluded, end-unit suite or downstairs conference rooms set aside just for parties. Don’t try to sneak entertainers, guests and kegs into a hotel. It never works for very long, and security will always bust up your party right before your stripper does that thing with her...ummm, well, you know. There's nothing worse than having to break up a party just as the action is getting good. If you and your guests plan on drinking heavily, have traveled a long way or if many guests are from out of town, reserve a block of rooms for a discounted rate. Best men: Consider an overnight suite for the bachelor with an adjoining room for yourself. You'll have him tucked in safe and sound for his SRS (Stripper Recovery Sleep).

How can I ensure the best availability?

Consider having your show early, even in the afternoon. Most bars offer room rentals from 8 pm –12am. That really limits how may shows our entertainers can perform in one night if all of their parties fall within that time frame. This means that you may not get your first choice entertainer if she is too busy, unless you book her far in advance. Ask the bar if they would consider renting you the room from 6-10 or 9-1. If you rent a party room in the afternoon, (for example from 2-6) some places will waive the room rental fee and you will also have the best chance of getting your favorite entertainer. All entertainers are less busy in the afternoons and more likely to stay longer at your show. Saturday nights are always the most popular night for parties, followed by Fridays. Consider having your party on a weeknight, instead.

Can I book shows from more than one agency?

Most agencies discourage clients from ordering entertainers from another agency. We think that is unrealistic. Taste of Heaven entertainers are fun and friendly and can easily work alongside entertainers from other agencies. So, if the bachelor really likes a particular dancer who works for another company, by all means go ahead and book her. Something to Keep in Mind: Booking with multiple agencies can create the problem of an entertainer from one agency running late, standing around waiting for the other show to finish, and then leaving your party before performing to get to her next show on-time instead. To eliminate this headache, let us know if you plan on hiring additional entertainment, and we will work with you to make sure things go smoothly for everyone involved.

Last but not Least...

Tell your friends and associates about us. When you enjoy a great show, the highest compliment you can give us is that of your repeat business and your word of mouth referrals to others. We truly appreciate all of our clients and will always strive to treat you, your friends and associates to excellent entertainment, no matter the venue.
If none of your friends are getting married, or if all of you have already tied the knot, don't despair!
