Montreal VIP “FF” Offers a Whole New Way to Research The Best Montreal Establishments and Attractions

You can tell the bride and the other girls you’re leaving at home you want to come to Montreal for the culture, the fine dining, and the historic architecture. They might believe you, but we’re not buying it! We’ve gotten to know our clients pretty well over the years, and we’re well aware that most of them come for the legendary women. Truth be told, there are some places where the patrons, staff, and attendees are a little (or a lot) hotter than others. Until now, those in search of the most beautiful ladies in the city had to rely on recommendations from friends and pure luck. Montreal VIP “FF” rating has taken the guesswork out of your quest to find the best eye candy in sin cité.

What is an “FF” rating and how is it calculated?

“FF” is short for “female factor”. Our rating scale goes from 1 to 9, and we also have an unknown category for when we just don’t have the info we need to give an establishment a score. The female factor is a weighted average based on the ratio of women to men (which can enhance or decrease your odds of hooking up) and the beauty of the female staff.

What do these numbers really mean?

When you’re browsing our brand new Montreal guide for men, move your pointer over each “FF” category on the right of the page to get a description of each rating. An “FF” rating of 3 means hotties will be few and far between, while an 8 means they’ll be everywhere! Use this info any way you choose…we’ll never tell.

If you booked your bachelor party through Montreal VIP, it’s not something you have to worry about. All of our bachelor party groups have 24/7 access to a VIP host in the local area. You can call them if the penthouse was not quite what you expected, or if you want to make a last minute change to your itinerary for Saturday night.

Montreal Bachelor Party Finances: Should You “Pay as You Go”?

At Montreal VIP, we’re pleased to offer our clients the ability to build comprehensive bachelor party packages that include every aspect of the group’s trip to Montreal: bottle service at the best Montreal nightclubs, access to VIP lounges at the hottest stripclubs, exciting daytime activities, and reservations at gourmet Montreal restaurants. But what if the final price tag is a lot higher than one or perhaps even all of the group members expected? To get everyone on board, you may want to pay as you go. Here’s how it works:

#1-Figure out the budget of the group: It’s time to have an honest conversation with all attendees. Ask each member how much they can spend on the Montreal bachelor party today. You don’t want to know how much they might have by the event…you need to find out how much they can plunk down right now. Those are the numbers you should use to create a budget.

#2-Create a basic package: Work with Montreal VIP to create a package that is within budget, even if you have to forgo the presidential suite or the five-star dining for the time being. Your most important goal is to get every one of the groom’s closest friends to Montreal.

#3-Purchase extras during the actual event: Once you actually get to Montreal, you can always add on those little extras if group members have the money to do so or one of the guys is feeling generous. Remember, with Montreal VIP no bachelor party itinerary is ever set in stone.

Montreal Bachelor Party Planning: Is it Okay for Some Group Members to Contribute More Than Others?

When you were kids, you all got the same $5 every week as an allowance. Now, Mike is a brain surgeon making six figures and Robert’s been out of work for six months. If both are attending a Montreal bachelor party, is it okay for Mike to chip in a little extra? Yes, but this can be a tricky situation. Always follow these important dos and don’ts:

Do…wait for the other person to bring it up: The absolute best case scenario is that members of your group who are better off financially will offer to pay for the suite, tickets to a game, or other extras without any prompting from you. If this doesn’t happen it’s okay to drop a few subtle hints.

Don’t…take advantage of a guy’s generosity: The last thing you want is for well-off members of your group to feel used. If someone has offered to pay for a gourmet meal for the group or pick up the tab for a private adult show, that’s more than enough. Don’t expect one person to cover the vast majority of the costs.

Do…split the basic costs: Everyone should contribute towards the basic costs associated with a Montreal bachelor party. If there are one or more members who aren’t able to pay anything, you can always plan a local bachelor party later on that includes them.
Don’t…make other people feel bad: There’s no need to constantly remind everyone who picked up the tab for what. Someone in your group did a nice thing for his buds…leave it at that.

The great news is that dollar for dollar, planning a bachelor party in Montreal will get you more bang for your buck when compared to other destinations.

Montreal Bachelor Party Finances: Splitting Bills

You’ve got a killer Montreal bachelor party planned. And while everyone contributed pretty much the same amount towards the basic package, you still haven’t decided how the bills incurred during your time in Montreal are going to be divvied up. Here are a few options and some considerations for each:

Option #1: Split all of the costs equally – Every time you go out to a restaurant, Montreal nightclub, or Montreal stripclub, everyone contributes an equal amount. This is usually a pretty fair approach, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, not every establishment may be willing or able to divide up your bill. If you pull out a calculator in a Montreal stripclub to figure out what everyone owes, you’ll look like a huge dork! Second, if someone’s always racking up a bigger portion of the bill than everyone else, it could create hard feelings.

Option #2: Have each group member pay for his own bills – Each guy pays his own way. This includes drinks, meals, activities, etc. This is a good approach if certain members might not participate in every aspect of the Montreal bachelor party. On the downside, it may prevent less well-off group members from taking part in some of the fun.

Option #3: Take turns picking up the tab – One guy pays for dinner, another pays for drinks, and another group member pays for jet boating. This is best for tight buds who aren’t going to get all worked up over a couple of bucks. Just make sure one group member isn’t consistently buying filet mignon while the others spring for Big Macs.

While Las Vegas did edge out Montreal for the top spot, we’re thrilled to say that the sin city of the north placed second, beating Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Manhattan, New Orleans, and several other hot bachelor party destinations.

So, just what was it about Montreal that convinced our friends at Ask Men to give us the prestigious number two spot?

We’re the authority on the Montreal bachelor party, and we ensure all of our clients get VIP treatment at the best Montreal nightlife hotspots. We’re also the only company that can hook bachelor party groups up with options that could get you thrown in jail in other parts of the world. Yeah, they’re that racy.

Montreal Bachelor Party: Classy vs. Crude

Classy: elegant; of good taste; the opposite of low class
Crude: unrefined; lacking in sophistication or taste; vulgar

People (well, women) tend to think that all bachelor parties fall under the crude category, but we know that’s simply not the case. Bachelor parties organized by Montreal VIP are rowdy and wild, but they’re also classy events that are always in good taste. Here are some examples that illustrate the difference between these two very different types of bachelor parties:

Category: Entertainment

Classy: Two French girls arrive at your Montreal hotel room and enjoy each other’s company while the groom and his friends sit back and take in the private show.

Crude: Somebody rents an adult movie from the convenience store down the street. He doesn’t recognize the name of any of the actresses and it was made in the mid-80s, but it came highly recommended by the owner.

Category: The bachelor party meal

Classy: Montreal VIP gets your group reservations at the most exclusive Italian restaurant in Montreal. You get first-class VIP treatment from the waiter, the best table in the house, fine red wine, and food that’s to die for.

Crude: You buy a few frozen pizzas to pop in the oven after the bar.

Category: A girl for the groom

Classy: The bachelor gets a private stage show from a very talented entertainer in the VIP lounge of a hot Montreal strip club.

Crude: The groom is presented with a doll named Candy and informed that he must bring her everywhere for the entire night.

Playboy Magazine Recommends Montreal for a Bachelor Party and Montreal VIP

Playboy is a name that is known and loved by men the world over. Many of us have fond memories of finding our father’s stash and sneaking peaks at the photos of the scantily-clad women between the covers. These days, Playboy has its own television channel, and continues to release magazines filled with articles and sexy photos. They’re a company that has built an empire by catering to men, and they’ve recommended Montreal and Montreal VIP to couples and groups planning bachelor parties. Here are the highlights:

Playboy Magazine classified Montreal as an “excellent choice” for bachelor parties: When a loyal reader wrote in to ask whether his group should return to Las Vegas for a bachelor party or give Montreal a try, Playboy didn’t hesitate to recommend the Canadian city, and made a point of mentioning the restaurants, the Montreal Casino, and the many all-nude strip clubs.

Playboy Magazine specifically recommended Montreal VIP: After suggesting Montreal to the curious reader, Playboy also advised that hiring Montreal VIP was a “wise” move since the company could help make arrangements and offer recommendations based on a great track record, professional expertise and a renowned VIP service to help make this bachelor party epic.

Playboy TV featured a VIP weekend in Montreal on the reality series 69 Sexy Things 2 Do Before You Die: Geared towards adventurous, free-spirited couples, this show profiled the best sex-related activities in the world.

Most people won’t be able to take an unlimited number of vacation days just to attend a bachelor party, so these events often have to be squeezed into two or three days. If this is the case, the proximity of a destination should be a consideration. After all, every extra hour you spend on the plane is one you could have spent chilling in the hotel pool, taking in the sights at a strip club, or just kicking back in the hotel and enjoying a beer. Whether you’re a Canuck or a proud American, Montreal is a destination that is easy and quick to reach. Let’s look at just a few examples and excuses to host a montreal bachelor party:

If you’re from Toronto, you may be stuck trying to decide between Montreal and Las Vegas. Consider this: a non-stop flight from Toronto to Montreal is just 1 hour and 13 minutes. A continuous flight from Toronto to Las Vegas, on the other hand, is roughly four and a half hours – that’s half a day wasted! There is another advantage to staying in Canada: you won’t have to worry about applying for passports.

If you’re from the U.S., the idea of a European bachelor party might appeal to you. Amsterdam, with its red light district and lax drug and alcohol laws, probably seems like a great potential bachelor party location. But did you know that a flight from New York City to Amsterdam is a very long seven hours? And it could be a lot longer if you can’t find a direct flight. Why not consider a European-style vacation in Montreal? You can get to sin cité from The Big Apple in just under two hours!
