Planning Your Nashville Bachelorette Party
Planning your Nashville, TN, bachelorette party is all about hitting that sweet spot between great weather and fantastic vibes. Late spring, summer, or early fall? Those are the perfect times to explore the city–sunny days with temps starting in the low 70s, peaking at the 90s in July, then cooling down to those comfortable 70s by October.
Now, let’s talk cash. On average, you’ll want about $516 per person for a three-day adventure. This covers your stay, eats, sights, and getting around. And getting there’s pretty easy, too. Just jet into BNA, located a quick eight miles east of downtown Nashville.
Themes? Think about a Honky Tonk hoedown, a rooftop brunch bash, or even a Dolly Parton-themed extravaganza.
Here’s the scoop from our expert, Adriel: “Why is Nashville a great place to have a bachelorette party? Why not Nashville?! It’s THE place to be for all Bachelorette parties! You can let loose on Broadway at a Honky Tonk or soak up the sun at brunch on a rooftop. Nashville has amazing restaurants, spas, and the cutest AirBnB’s made just for Bachelorette parties (including a few Dolly Parton-themed homes!).”
Where to Stay for a Nashville Bachelorette Party
When it comes to catching those Zs in Nashville, our experts have the inside scoop on the coziest spots in town. Emily recommends the Thompson Hotel for those seeking a luxe sleepover experience or wanting to capitalize on their Hyatt loyalty points. Its chic vibe and stunning city views make it a top pick. We also recommend the Graduate. It’s undeniably Nashville and we know you’ll love it!
But if a house rental is more your style, she recommends the 12th South or East Nashville area. Picture charming homes and a neighborhood vibe that’s hard to beat. Adriel’s not skipping a beat, suggesting The Mint House at the Reserve for an exclusive stay. It’s a slice of luxury with a personal touch, perfect for making your bachelorette party in Nashville feel extra special.

Start your day with a bang at Milk and Honey, where brunch is an art form and the morning’s first meal takes a deliciously decadent turn.
When lunch rolls around, enjoy gourmet burgers with your besties at Burger Up or soak in the vibes and views from The Hampton Social’s new rooftop terrace. For a taste of Nashville’s fiery spirit, Slow Burn Hot Chicken and Scoreboard Bar & Grill serve up the heat in a way that’s not to be missed.
