You’ve finalized the seating chart, paid your vendors, and maybe even said yes to two dresses. Now comes one of the most exciting parts of the pre-wedding journey: planning your bachelorette party. While destinations like Las Vegas and Nashville often steal the spotlight, the East Coast is home to an array of equally unforgettable getaways, perfect for a spring or summer celebration with your closest friends.

An East Coast bachelorette trip offers something for every kind of bride: sun-soaked beaches, charming historic towns, vibrant cities, and boutique stays that are just as Instagrammable as they are luxurious. Brides today are seeking a balance of relaxation and celebration, says Adrianne Smith, a travel advisor and the founder of Standby With Adrie. She notes that many are less focused on packing the itinerary and more interested in creating moments that feel intentional, beautiful, and truly memorable. According to Avery Singer and Jolie Lauren, the co-founders of BachBoss, personalization and a true vacation experience are top priorities for brides and their friends. "Our groups are increasingly seeking weekends that seamlessly blend wellness, fun, and elevated group experiences, from boat days to private chef dinners," they say.

Key West, Florida

For a bachelorette weekend with a little extra island spirit, head to Key West. This spot is perfect for a group that wants a laid-back, let’s-just-have-fun kind of vibe, says Smith. Stay at Lunara Bay, a collection of 26 individually designed waterfront estates, each featuring private pools, gourmet kitchens, and private docks, or check into Casa Marina for a historic beachfront resort feel. Spend your days snorkeling, bar crawling down colorful Duval Street, and toasting the sunset on a private cruise. For memorable dinners, book a table at Latitudes, which is on its own private island, or Hot Tin Roof for Caribbean-influenced seafood and cocktails.
