With a dynamic live music scene, photo-ready murals, and plenty of opportunities to wear a pair of cowboy boots, Cheyenne, Wyoming, is an under-the-radar destination for a bachelorette party or group trip.
There’s a reason Nashville, Tennessee, is a mecca for bachelor and bachelorette parties. At a high level, it’s a place that caters to the theatricality associated with country music — cowboy boots, sequins, and raucous nights in the honky-tonks on Broadway. Visitors can put on their denim, don a cowboy hat, and embrace a light-hearted side of Music City, if only for a weekend.
The city also has a diverse culture centered around art, fashion, and the food and beverage world, catering to groups of travelers with a variety of interests. Your itinerary can include everything from music festivals, barbecue dinners, and customized denim appointments to brewery hopping, history museums, and tours of the different neighborhoods’ most photographed murals.
While Nashville remains one of the top cities for pre-wedding celebrations and travel in general — even grabbing a spot on Travel + Leisure’s list of best U.S. cities in the 2024 World’s Best Awards — affordability is a factor for visitors to consider. Depending on the season, most travelers should expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $500 per night for a three-star hotel in downtown Nashville. According to Brides, a bachelorette party could easily cost individuals up to $600 for a three-day celebration; though Nashville Luxury Stay estimates even higher after breaking down the price of accommodations, meals, and activities. Luckily, there’s a more wallet-friendly, less populated alternative to consider. Cheyenne, Wyoming is an approximately 65,000-person city that, in many ways, has a similar appeal to Nashville.
