Welcome to Cosmo Bachelorettes, a column that peeks inside some of the coolest bachelorette parties around the world, hosted by some of the chicest people on the planet. We get up close and personal by going deep with the bride-to-be, revealing behind-the-scenes secrets and all the candid photos you won’t see on Instagram.
In two months, Hannah Wright and Marco Donatelli will become the first Love Island USA couple to tie the knot—but Hannah couldn’t let that happen without throwing a three-day rager in Scottsdale first. The theme: brand trip, which makes sense for a reality star turned influencer!
According to Hannah, it was everyone’s first time meeting, but the vibes were anything but awkward. “There were seven of us total, literally from all different walks of life, and it was crazy how everyone everyone just bonded,” she says. “Like, I had my college friends there with people who I’ve literally just met in the last couple of weeks, and so it was really beautiful, just celebrating girlhood together.”
She adds, “Even planning this, it’s made me realize that girls need a girls’ trip. Girls need to be able to take a break, unwind, be crazy, party, and not think. We were like teenagers again, just letting loose.”
Day 1 of the trip began with a pool party at LastHoeDown@OldTown, a desert cowgirl–themed bachelorette pad that Hannah found with the help of the party-planning experts at Scottsdale Bachelorette. Then the ladies hit the town for a night at CAKE Nightclub.
“My friends came from all over, and I knew they were taking off time from their lives, from their work, so I was like, ‘You know what? Let’s make a little brand trip experience for everyone.’”
“I gave Scottsdale Bachelorette my vision, and they made it come to life.”
“I feel like I planned the perfect bachelorette trip for an introverted extrovert. That’s what I describe myself as. And a Taurus. I’m very much a Taurus.”
For Day 2, Hannah’s crew enjoyed a Y2K-themed boat day on Lake Pleasant with Pink Boat Tours (which ended in them choreographing a full music video), and they followed that up with at-home hibachi courtesy of Rock Star Hibachi.
“The boat day was definitely my favorite part of the weekend. I just love how down my friends were for the content. Like, this is obviously what I do for work now. But every single girl was so locked in.”
“My friend Trin is a dancer, and she just went into director mode and choreographed that whole music video on the boat.”
“I filled up our itinerary with a lot of stuff, but I definitely made sure that everyone felt valued. People were traveling from all over, so I just wanted to give back some of that love that I got.”
Finally, Day 3 was all about relaxation, including a group Pilates session with AJOY Studio, custom massages courtesy of Kneading Paradise Massage, and a sunset send-off dinner at Maple & Ash. A dream, truly!
“I feel like this trip was so good because I was able to just unwind and really get excited for the wedding.”
“This group of girls is gonna be at the wedding, and I can’t wait to shut down the dance floor with them.”
“I feel like the hard times are past, the stress is past, and this bachelorette trip just solidified how blessed I feel to have these people in my life right now.”
