Before we dive right into all of the goodness that is Nashville…
Planning a wedding doesn’t only consist of planning for the actual wedding; lots of planning goes into hosting the ultimate bachelorette party. Most brides look forward to a weekend of crazy fun with their closest gals – dancing and partying the night away for one last hoo-rah before saying “I do”.
Majority of bachelorette parties are hosted by the maid of honor and the bridesmaids; however, some are thrown by the bride! If you’re a bride wanting to throw yourself a bachelorette party, that is a-o-k, but I recommend kindly suggesting your maid of honor and bridesmaids to host the party for you… after all, it is a party for you.
That being said, I’m writing this post and aiming it towards the sisters and best friends of the bride, tips and tricks on how to host the ultimate bachelorette party for the bride to be.
Bachelorette parties come in all different themes, sizes, and locations. It’s crucial to gather a little information from your bride before you start planning so you know what she wants and what’s totally off limits. This is when you can determine if the bride wants a low-key day of shopping and brunch, a cozy weekend at the cabin, or a wild night out complete with barhopping, pole-dancing, and bull-riding.
Find out who your bride wants at the party and get any contact information you might need for the rest of the bridesmaids and all the guests that you should be inviting.
Speaking of the guest list, consider the size of the list… Aim for at least 4 ladies, but no more than 15. Taking an uber, finding an Airbnb, and making dinner reservations will start getting really difficult if you have more than 15 ladies to include. Plus, imagine keeping track of 15 women on a wild night out downtown! Yikes, lol.
Wooo! You got some information from the bride. She wants a fun-filled party weekend with her bridesmaids but requested to go somewhere different rather than hit up the usual bars in her hometown. If it’s within everyone’s budget, go to Nashville!
I’m telling you; Nashville is the bachelorette capital of the world. Don’t believe me? Google it and you’ll be told the same exact thing. Nashville is a beautiful and fun city with so much to see and do, making it the ultimate destination for a bachelorette party with your favorite girls.
Keep reading and you’ll learn some of the best places to stay, best spots to eat, and the best bars to hit up on Broadway.
Choosing Your Bachelorette House in Nashville
When looking for the perfect place to call home for the weekend, check out Airbnb or Vrbo. Use the filters to narrow down your search and consider things like: how many beds, how many bathrooms, how close to downtown, etc.
Nashville’s Original Bachelorette House
Sleeps up to 12 guests comfortably
Only 1.4 miles from downtown Nashville

Truly not just a place to stay, but an experience…
Food Food Food!
There are so many cool places to try in such little time! Here are some of the most unique places that are definitely worth checking out.
White Limozeen
This place boasts as a one-of-a-kind, indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar, with a beautiful rooftop pool. That being said, White Limozeen can be really hard to get into. Reservations are a must, and you have to book your reservation 2 weeks ahead of time. (Literally 2 weeks ahead, they only book out 2 weeks in advance… and those spots fill up fast.)
Hampton Social
A first-floor “Rose All Day” lounge, second-floor dining, and a new rooftop terrace make the Hampton Social a stunning spot for your lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. Don’t forget to take a moment for some totally Instagram-worthy pics in front of their signature signs.
Pinewood Social
Whether you’re just wanting to chill out and eat delicious food, do a little bowling, or partake in some fun outdoor games, Pinewood Social is a sure spot to have a blast.
Hittin’ Up Broadway
If it’s a Friday or Saturday night, you’re likely to wait in line at the most popular bars on Broadway. But seriously, all of these bars are so. much. fun. Skip the long lines and check out the place next door! Though they’re all great, here are some of the bars that I loved checking out during my bachelorette party in Nashville.
- Tootsies
- Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row
- Tin Roof
- Jason Aldean’s Rooftop Bar
- Honky Tonk Central
- The Stage on Broadway
- Kid Rock’s Bar
