VIP Social Events

I have been to more than a handful of these parties! I love the friendly staff, singles & games they play. I often grab about 5 girlfriends and get my party on! I love how VIP SOCIAL EVENTS always change venues to keep things fresh.
If you are new to the area, are singles or just looking for a change of pace I highly recommend attending a party… or 6;).

I love love love VIP! I’ve been to many events and I always have a blast. I’ve made tons of new friends and people are always winning cool prizes ;) l highly recommend coming out to an event if you’re looking to meet new people (friends or something more!)

Singles events can be awkward or totally fun, depending on the night and the turnout I guess. The Los Angeles events draw a huge crowd, especially when they are at cool Westside venues. I’ve been enjoying the OC ones, too. The places that these are held are usually very nice venues, sometimes the venues give the guests free shots for the first half hour. yay :) These events are fine to go alone, in fact, you will end up meeting more people if you aren’t latched on to the coat tails of your best friend. I’m a fan of these Unlock the night events and recommend anyone who’s not tried a lock or a key party to come out. Thumbs up! Keep up the great work guys. You’re doing a great thing for singles out there.

i have been to a few VIP Social Events! it is a great
way to meet a lot of people at once! i have a great
time at these parties meeting 60 – 75 at once. i would reccomend
all singles to give it a try! (:

Love these events!!! There’s always so many people there to meet. The music is great, the venues are awesome. Always have the best time!!! :) Thank you VIP for having these events!

They throw GREAT parties… and this one was no exception.
Great people. Great networking event… and some of the most beautiful women you’ll ever see in Los Angeles.
Oh, and the venue, Boulevard 3… HOT PLACE!!!

VIP Social Events hosts mixers for singles throughout SoCal. One of their reoccurring themes is «Unlock the Night,» where the ladies have locks and the guys have keys, making a «natural» ice breaker. Or so that’s what they advertise.
My girlfriend AK and I decided to give this a try as we are both newly single. We thought, why not? We only live once, might as well give it a try for the experience. I bought discounted tickets through Goldstar for $ 17 pp with servicing fee. I would never pay full price for this event directly through VIP Social Events’ website or even a higher cover at the door of the venue.
Upon arrival to the venue, it became very apparent that there were way more dudes than chicks. Ok, as a chick, I should have been intrigued. Rather, it was obvious that VIP does not follow its own age policy of 24 – 44. There were several rather older men and a couple of older women. sorry guys, but if you are old enough to be my father or if you have a toupee, I have to draw the line. After being forced to give contact info, a lock, and a briefing, my friend and I started working the room.
Ladies and gents beware! You will have the opportunity to meet many singles and have conversations, but there are quite a few super creepy people without manners at these things. Some people go around trying to find their match to get a raffle ticket and not to talk to people. They will jab their key or lock in your face, interrupt your conversations you are having with nice people, and will bug you multiple times during the night. The website advertised that participants are guaranteed to have at least 3 matches, and yet my lock never unlocked! Wait. maybe that’s a metaphor I’m supposed to listen to! Nonetheless, I brought this to the attention of the organizer and he blew me off and gave me a raffle ticket. I didn’t care for a ticket. It’s principle of what they advertise!
I did have a few interesting conversations, but I do not think they were because of the lock and key ice breaker. There are still plenty of people who are too shy to approach the opposite sex even with this ice breaker, and there are still way too many cocky and confident people who interrupt interesting conversations.
It was ok as an event. It was organized and it was nice to meet new people. That was the goal for the night and that was accomplished. However, I don’t know if I would go to one of these events again. I met several men who had been to multiple events… hmm… hmm…
