NASHVILLE

Officially the bachelorette capital of the world. This city has it all – amazing music, great food, endless bars, and clubs, there is a reason this city has been taken over by bachelorette parties. And while the rowdier set may be found on Broadway, driving past the honky-tonks in “party barges,” there’s a more, well, sophisticated way to celebrate if the bride chooses.
