Young Couples Party (YCP)

Young Couples Party describes itself as “a lifestyle club built for you,” an event organizer in the Chicago suburbs that limits its parties to ages 21 to 42. Attending requires a membership, and the club says it holds live events every month, plus virtual events most nights, including yoga, HIIT classes, trivia and quarterly education seminars. The club's western-suburbs venue is a private country estate with 16 beds in 8 bedrooms, an indoor heated pool, an indoor hot tub, a dance floor and free parking, hosting night parties twice a month. Summer adds outdoor parties with two swimming pools, sand volleyball and clothing-optional sunbathing, and the club runs a hotel takeover each year. Each event includes speed dating, with three-minute conversations at numbered stations. Couples and single women are admitted; single men are not. Applicants sign an NDA and complete ID verification before choosing a membership level, and only paid members get event dates, with the address released to ticketed members. New guests bring ID showing they are 21 to 42, watch a seven-minute video on the party rules, get videos on consent and a private tour. Some events are BYOB and others have a paid bar. Dress is business casual or better unless matching the theme; illegal drugs are banned and smoking is outdoors only.
