Music City: Your Nashville Bachelorette Party Guide

Nashville has become a preferred bachelorette party destination for many reasons, such as the city’s southern charm, great eateries, and vibrant live music scene.

Country music may have put Nashville on the map, but today, the city boasts many daytime and nightlife activities to fill your bachelorette party agenda.

With so many things to do and see, one night in Nashville won’t be enough, so my suggestion is to make your bestie’s single life send off a weekend getaway.

Here are some party tips to enjoy your Nashville bachelorette party to the fullest.

Secure the Ideal Bachelorette Party Accommodation

In addition to the local resorts and boutique hotels, you’ll find many accommodation options for bachelorette party groups on TripAdvisor, Vrbo, and Airbnb.

A pro tip from the local party planners is to create your bachelorette party agenda first, then look for accommodation near the restaurants, bars, and local attractions you wish to visit. Most groups choose to stay in hotels in Downtown Nashville.

Another great option is to look for places to rent in a neighborhood called Gulch. This neighborhood is close to Downtown but not quite in the middle of all the hustle and bustle.

Vacation rentals with a pool or BBQ area (preferably both) are always the best choice for a volatile and fun bash. You can fill the pool with floaties, hire some private party entertainers, and get delicious cocktails ready, and you’ve got yourself a relaxing and fun atmosphere to celebrate your bestie’s single send-off. If your budget permits, always look for a party rental with a pool and a backyard.

Get Around in Style with a Party Bus

What better way to visit the city’s attractions and party hot spots than on board a party bus equipped with everything you need for a party on four wheels? Most tourists use Uber or Lyft to get around Nashville, but traveling in separate cars is no fun for a bachelorette party group.

There are many local party vehicles that can drive your group around the city, such as the Nashville Party Tractor, and there’s always the option (if you want to travel in style and complete privacy) to book a bachelorette party bus.

Imagine all your favorite gals inside a luxury vehicle, laughing, chatting, and dancing while enjoying the top-notch amenities: disco lights, sound system, comfy seating, and a fully stocked bar.

Just make sure you choose the perfect bus. This means you must look closely at the vehicle’s type, size, and features to book the one that best suits your group’s preferences. If you add a handsome local male host to the mix, you can have an epic 2-hour scenic tour of Music City.

Your bachelorette party itinerary won’t be complete without visiting the famous Grand Ole Opry, where the biggest names in country music perform, so I suggest starting there and then looking for a brunch spot for a delicious treat.

Indulge in a Southern Culinary Experience

It’s no secret that Nashville has a thriving food scene. Whether you are looking for a place for boozy brunch or an upscale restaurant, the city has it all.

• Favorite Brunch Spots: The Mockingbird, Biscuit Love, Cafe Roze
• Popular Restaurants for Dinner: Rolf and Daughters, Josephine, Butcher & Bee, Sunda, Loveless Café

For an easy after-lunch activity, schedule some shopping stops for your tour. Head to Savas to purchase a chic leather jacket, to Planet Cowboy for those sexy cowboy boots, or visit Keep Shop at the Noelle, where you’ll find lots of clothes and jewelry created by local designers.

Wine Tasting at Arrington Vineyards

If the weather is warm during your stay, consider going on a wine-tasting tour at Arrington Vineyards, about 45 minutes from Downtown. The tour is super casual, and guests are welcome to bring their own food, blanket, or chair for picnicking.

After the wine tasting, purchase a few bottles of your favorite wines from the vineyard’s shop. Since this is a mainly outdoors tasting, don’t forget to check the weather before booking your tour.

Nashville has many other fun vineyards and wineries to tour for your bachelorette party. If you want the full wine-tasting experience, hop on that party bus with your wine-aficionado gals and get ready to visit hot spots such as the Belle Meade Winery or Grinder’s Switch Winery at Marathon Village.

Unwind with a Bachelorette Yoga Class

A zen-infused yoga session is an excellent way to kickstart the celebration and set a positive vibe for your bestie’s party.

You can attend a yoga studio or, better, hire an instructor for a private yoga class in a serene corner of the backyard of your vacation rental.

Having a private yoga instructor come to your party location with yoga mats, lavender towels, speakers, and delicious mimosas will save you the trouble of planning every detail yourself and offer you the chance to relax and have fun in the comfort of your own rental.

Cool Down with an Epic Splash

After all the stretching and breathing, the gals will surely enjoy cooling down with a splash or hanging around the pool, sipping cocktails, laying in the sun, or floating on pool floats.

Snag a day pass at one of the top pool party spots to enjoy the heated rooftop pool, VIP poolside daybeds, poolside cabana service, drinks, and snacks.

Popular pool party spots are Joseph’s, W Nashville’s WET Deck, Virgin Hotels, Sound Waves at Gaylord Opryland, and Grand Hyatt Nashville.

If you prefer to keep the last splash party on the private side, throw a private bachelorette pool party at your vacation rental that’s equipped with a pool area.

You can easily spice it up and add a dash of luxury and indulgence to the package by hiring eye candy cabana boys, bartenders, or butlers to keep your gals pampered and entertained.

Line Dancing Classes

Pull on your newly purchased boots and go out for a line-dancing class to your itinerary. This is another quintessential Nashville bachelorette experience, and the classes can be personalized to your group’s experience and requests.

Once you learn the basic steps, you can keep up with the locals on your night out at the honky-tonks. Check out the classes at Stompin’ Grounds, Urban Cowboy, New Boots, or at Bootlegger’s Inn.

Rejuvenate with the Gals at a Local Spa

Every bachelorette party agenda needs some downtime to relax and prepare for another night out.

The local spas are designed to pamper and rejuvenate, offering a range of deluxe treatments, including body treatments, specialty massages, facials, salt caves, steam rooms, and pedi-mani services.

A private luxury day spa afternoon is also ideal for your gals to enjoy delicious cocktails, catch up, and bond. The best spas include La Bella e Famosa Spa, Spa by JW Marriott, and the Rhapsody Spa.

Tap Into Your Artistic Side

There are tons of quirky art murals throughout the city. Besides these being perfect backgrounds for your group Insta photos, these artworks may inspire you to create your piece of art by booking a private drawing class where you can try to draw a shirtless male model under the expert guidance of a professionally trained instructor.

Don’t worry about skills; anyone can enjoy this fun bachelorette party activity in Nashville while sipping on a glass of wine, regardless of their artistic skills.

And again, just like with booking a private yoga instructor, a bachelorette drawing class package includes a private tutor, art supplies, an eye candy model, and even a Cabana Boy who’ll get the guest in the mood before the class starts.

You don’t have to worry about complicated party planning details.

Explore Music City’s Unparalleled Nightlife

Nashville’s nightlife is ramping up at night, and if you’re in town for a bachelorette party, visiting a honky-tonk or two is a must. There are live shows every night at the bars.

Look for the best honky-tonks in Downtown on Broadway for a quintessential Music City experience. Head to Honky Tonk Central, a three stories party hot spot, each with a different style of music and live shows, or head to a local classic, The Stage, for fun line dancing.

Other recommended party spots include the Tootsies, FGL House, Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa, and Whiskey Row.

For another genuine Music City experience, try to reserve a spot at the famous Bluebird Café to hear the best songwriters in town.

If you want to explore other nightlife options besides the country scene, Broadway boasts trendy rooftop bars and clubs for a fun night out: Flamingo Cocktail Club, Rosemary & Beauty Queen, and Pinewood Social.

Your Nashville Bachelorette Party Guide

One thing is for sure: your bachelorette party in Nashville will be filled with music and dancing. However, remember that the key to a successful single-life send-off is creating a unique experience tailored to your bachelorette party style, budget, and preferences.

One more party tip: during country music festivals and major award ceremonies, such as the annual Country Music Awards festival, hotels, restaurants, and bars become jammed, and the traffic is insane.

If you prefer a less crowded experience, schedule your bachelorette party on a weekend without any significant music events.
