Party and Event Bookings: How They Work

A party booking is company for a night out or an event rather than an evening in. Bars, a club, a private party, a birthday, a corporate evening. It is one of the most enjoyable bookings we take and one of the easiest to get wrong, mostly through not telling us enough beforehand.

Tell us the venue and the guest count

Both, when you book. They are not idle questions.

The venue decides how she dresses and whether the evening is even practical: some clubs are strict about arriving as a pair, some private members’ clubs will not admit a guest who is not on the list, and a house party in zone four is a different proposition from a bar in Mayfair.

The guest count decides whether she is one of two people or one of thirty. Both are fine. Being told the wrong one on arrival is not.

Length

Three hours minimum, and most run longer. An hour at a party is barely an arrival, and the shape of the evening means the good part usually starts after the first hour rather than in it.

Overnight is common for these, since a night out that ends at two in the morning with an escort sent home in a taxi is a worse evening than one that does not. Our guide on overnight bookings covers how those work.

Groups and stag nights

Perfectly ordinary bookings and we take plenty. A few things make the difference between one that goes well and one that does not:

• One person books and one person is responsible. Not a group decision made over the phone at eleven at night.
• Everybody knows the arrangement in advance. An escort arriving to a room of men who were not told she was coming is a bad start for everyone.
• She is there with the group, not for it. What she offers is on her profile and is between her and whoever booked, not a facility for the room.
• Drink. A booking with a group that is already very drunk is the most common one we decline.

For a larger group, two escorts usually works better than one. See our guide to duo bookings.

Corporate and business evenings

Dinner with colleagues or clients is a dinner date rather than a party booking, and the etiquette is different. She should be told who else is at the table and what she is being introduced as, so nobody is improvising. Our dinner date guide covers it.

Practical points

• Cover her transport if the venue is out of the way
• Have somewhere for her coat and bag that is not the floor
• Do not introduce her as an escort, to anyone, ever
• Agree when the evening ends before it starts

Booking one

Ring earlier than you would for a standard booking. Party bookings take a whole evening, so the roster available for one on a Friday is a good deal thinner than the roster available for an hour.
