Why did you pick this location?

The location within Chicago, and the perfect bachelorette vibes that screamed through the photos of the listing made it impossible to forget. Had to book it! 🙌🏻

What resources did you use to make the stay just right for the event?

My best friend and my sister planned the most perfect weekend. They used every resource they could to make a large group's trip to Chicago epic and easy: Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Forms, Uber, Pizza delivery, etc.

Any tips for future Bachelorettes on how to throw the best Bach party?

Have the best friend and sister in the world? But seriously, I think the best way to plan an epic bach is to be organized-- they were able to plan it together in different cities it seems by checking in with each other but by having shared documents indicating what got booked and when and by whom. Made payments and housing and everything so easy!

Any weekend bloopers?

I mean, Wicker Park might not have any more alcohol left after I was there... so lots of fun times. Pretty sure I ended up in the fabulous pink bathtub once or twice. 🛁 😜
