Bachin' on the Beach: Get to know Bach Haus
Planning the perfect bachelorette party just got a whole lot easier thanks to Bach Haus 30A—a one-stop shop for all things fun, fabulous, and totally Instagram-worthy on Florida’s Emerald Coast. In this exclusive interview, we sit down with owner Nicole, the visionary behind Bach Haus, to hear how she turned her love for celebration and beach vibes into a thriving business that helps brides-to-be and their besties have the ultimate "bachin’ on the beach" experience. From themed party setups to personalized concierge services, Nicole shares her journey, inspiration, and what sets Bach Haus apart in the heart of 30A.
What inspired you to start?
N: My own bachelorette trip! I was a 2020 bride and quickly realized the pitfalls of the bachelorette/bridal industry. We went to Vegas for my bachelorette, and ended up having to check 3 bags just for decor and gift bags! Those bags came back empty with us which I thought was unneccessary. My wheels kept spinning that year. I also worked at a high volume restuarant in 30A where bachelorettes were swarming everywhere. I would ask them what they wished they could have hired for services to be done for their parties, and to my surprise about ninety percent of the parties said everything! I knew then and there that I wanted to help Brides and Maid of Honors relieve this stressor.
What is one thing that sets you apart from your competition?
N: We are unlike any other company. We’re innovative, we stay in front of the trends, and we work hard to make our parties stand out above the crowd! Once you are signed on as our client, you are truly our new best friends! We treat all of our clients like family. We strive to be the big sister and relief you are searching for throughout this whole process. We are also local! We have lived here for over 25 years! But don’t get me wrong, we LOVE to collaborate and support similar companies in our industry!
What is your favorite wedding trend this year?
N: BRIGHT COLORS AND PATTERNS. I am living for the scallops, gingham, bright florals, and personalization. If there is one thing we LOVE, its personalized touches.
What made you choose this business?
N: I always say this business chose me. I am that type A friend who plans the trips, creates the five page moodboard, outfit inspiration, and makes sure everthing runs smoothly. I truly feel like this was my calling. I have been a MOH more times than I can count on one hand, and thrown numerous soirees. The joy this brings me is truly indescribable.
What are some of the biggest trends in bachelorette parties right now?
N: Over the top gift bags and customizations! Girls are listening to what their bridesmaids are saying, and they are delivering! Gift items that will be used again and again and truly spoiling their guests! Custom napkins and branding logos are really trending this year!
How do you incorporate local experiences or hidden gems into your party packages?
N: Itinerary planning! We have different tiers of this package to help our girls out. We offer our expertise when booking to help guide parties in the right direction. If they book our full itinerary package, we tailor a weekend that is custom to them - because no party is one size fits all! We also have discounts and freebies with local restuarants that makes it even more fun to experience.
What are the biggest mistakes bridal parties make when planning their trip?
N: Overbooking the itinerary. I say this to all my parties - leave time to explore and enjoy your rental. The houses in 30A are stunning, you will want to spend some time there! Also, exploring shops, Cafe’s and finding their own hidden gems makes the trip even that more special. There is so much to do here. When we work with our clients booking itineraries for them, we really get to know their group and overall goals to avoid overbooking and creating an itinerary that they will talk about for years to come!
Are there any upcoming trends or exciting plans for your company in the near future?
N: Oh, yes! We are slowly pivoting our packages to becoming more custom, curated, and upscale. We love ALL bach everything, trust me! But, our brand identity aligns with the upscale beach experience. And this is what we want each of our clients to feel when working with us. Also, you will be seeing more of us! Not just on the Emerald Coast...
How far in advance should brides book your services?
N: At least 6 months! This allows us time to custom tailor your event and work with any changes along the way!
What’s the average cost of a bachelorette party package, and what does it include?
N: Most of our parties book our signature package which is $975 along with our stock the fridge add on which is $125.. It includes the bride room decorated, a grand balloon garland with fun foils, table decor, signs, confetti, completely custom cups, fun balloon letter phrases, fiance’ sticks, and more!
