Parties

Thank you for considering FitzGerald's for your gathering. We are happy to accommodate any special requests you may have – and with more than 30 years' experience, we know how to throw a party!   Our drink packages offer a variety of options for parties of all shapes, sizes and capacities.

Our party room can easily accommodate from 20-75 guests, or a sit-down dinner for 50. With the use of our adjoining SideBar for non-sit-down gatherings, the number increases to 100.  Should you require more space, our summer garden (75 in season) and nightclub (up to 300) are also available for rental.

(In this SideBar photo, the door to the party room is at the right hand side of the picture. Party room itself is on Parties home page.  These two rooms are completely separate from the nightclub).

If you’re bringing in your own music, we have a CD player and a hookup to our sound system for your devices. We can also offer our Touchtunes Jukebox, a revolutionary touch-screen digital system which gives you access to over 300,000 songs that can be chosen individually, by theme, genre or through keywords. The more computer-savvy can even create a playlist online (mytouchtunes.com) and download it onto our jukebox! Just by the sheer volume and breath of its musical offerings, we've found that Touchtunes adds to the fun of any gathering.

Bringing in a band?  We have an onsite sound system available for rental; the fee is $150 for the system and $100 for a sound engineer.   During the cooler months we also have tents and heaters available at varying rates.

In the club, we also feature a vintage photo booth! Your guests can pay to use the photo booth themselves, or you can take advantage of a rental package. To find out how to rent the photo booth for your party or gathering, please contact the folks at photobooth.com: http://312photobooth.com/

FitzGerald’s has a list of preferred caterers, (including the newly-opened Capri Ristorante right next door!) but you are free to choose the company of your choice.

You also have the option of bringing in food; however, our policy is that all non-catered events involving food must include a FitzGerald’s staff member to handle setup, maintenance and cleanup.

The only exceptions are fundraisers and benefits, in which case you may choose to have volunteers handle those duties. For a full explanation of benefit/fundraiser rates and policies, please call our party planner at: (708)788-2118, x. 24

• CASH BAR – Your guests pay for their own drinks.
  Any of our bar packages may be combined with a cash bar; for instance, you may choose to offer your guests our basic package of beer, wine, soft drinks and juice, and all other drinks can be purchased by them.
• RUN A TAB – In this case, a running total of drinks is kept at the bar and you pay the tab at the end of the party. This is a good option if you have some guests who don't drink and some who do and you don't want to limit selection.
   

Everyone wants their wedding to be memorable, and choosing FitzGerald's will ensure an event your guests will never forget.  Whether you're looking for a fun, casual (and less expensive!) party atmosphere or a more formal, elegant occasion with all the trimmings, we'll work with you to make your dreams come true. 

Several couples choose to hold the cermony in the club or garden;  we have hosted civil unions and ceremonies for all faiths. After the vows, there is music and dancing in our legendary nightclub, plenty of tent space for guests to sit and talk and a beautifully restored SideBar and party room for smaller receptions.

Give us a call or email with your questions and ideas; we'd love to work with you to make your wedding one that your guests will remember.  We're a family business, so we know money is always a concern -- we've worked with budgets big and small and we'll do everything we can to help you get the most from yours!
