Private Event Booking Policies
Start Here!
Begin your journey to a memorable event at Whispers by reviewing our Event Packages.
When you are ready to book, select your requested date & time on our Event Booking Page. If your date/time is not available, it means that we are booked up.
Once your date/time is selected, you will be routed to our Catering Form where you will select your catering items and see a dynamic estimate for your booking.Your date will be held for 48 hours to complete the catering form, after which it will be released.
Once you have submitted the catering form a member of our team will reach out to answer any questions and send you an invoice.
Deposit & Invoicing
Our event planner will provide you with an invoice, a credit card authorization form, and an event contract detailing the total amount calculated based on your head count, party duration, and selected catering packages.
A 50% deposit is required to secure your date.
Post-event, we will provide a final invoice to your point of contact reflecting the remaining amount and the credit card on file will be charged for the outstanding balance.
Cancellation
Full refunds are offered for cancellations made at least 14 days prior to the event. However, cancellations within 3 days of the event will result in loss of the 50% deposit.
We understand that weather is often a concern when celebrating on the beach in Chicago. So, we try to be flexible. If inclement weather is predicted 7 days prior to your event date, we will coordinate with you to discuss a game plan.
We allow cancellation with a full refund only if rain is predicted 3 days prior to your event for your selected date & time. Alternatively, if only a slight chance of rain is predicted or you still want to rage on during the rain, we are happy to accommodate your party as best as we can.
Service Charges
Please note that a Catering Service Charge of 15% will be added to the invoiced amount to ensure the seamless execution of your event. Additional tips are welcome!
