How many people can do Private Chef?

Custom group sizing — we size it to your group and handle the booking.

Can you add Private Chef to a bachelor party weekend?

Yes. Private Chef is one of the Austin add-ons Connected Austin books and runs as part of a full weekend, with timing and logistics handled so it fits the rest of the itinerary.

Is Austin good for a bachelor party?

Austin is one of the strongest bachelor party destinations in the country — live music on every block, Lake Travis boat days, world-class BBQ, and two full nightlife districts (Sixth Street and Rainey) within walking distance of each other. Add F1 at Circuit of the Americas, SXSW, and ACL, and the city scales from a chill guys' weekend to a full takeover. Browse our weekend packages, activities, and group stays.

Why Austin instead of Vegas or Nashville?

Vegas is a theme park and Nashville is a karaoke bar at airport prices. Austin is a real city — lake days, ranches, and BBQ by day, live music and two nightlife districts by night. It hits the sweet spot between "actual trip" and "party weekend" without the cover-charge arms race. See our guides for the full breakdowns.

When is the best time of year to come?

March - May, September - November are peak — mild weather, patio season, and full lake days. Summer runs hot but Lake Travis is at its best. Event weekends (F1 in October, SXSW in March, ACL in October) are a different gear entirely and book up fast. See what's on in our activities catalog.

How much does an Austin bachelor party weekend cost?

Most groups land between $500 and $1,000 per person for the core weekend; full turnkey builds with housing run $1,500+ all-in. Every number we quote includes tax, tips, and entry — no surprises after the trip. See the package tiers or start an inquiry for a custom quote.

How do groups typically split the costs?

Each guest pays their share directly through a secure group portal — no chasing Venmos, no fronting the whole cost as the organizer. Your group gets its own live portal once the itinerary is locked. Start the inquiry and we'll walk you through it.

What is included in a weekend package?

Everything bachelor-party related: housing, boat charters on Lake Travis, clay shooting and gun ranges, BBQ catering and private chefs, steakhouse reservations, nightclub table service, gentlemen's clubs, party buses and airport transfers, plus a dedicated concierge through the weekend. Browse packages, activities, and stays — then tell us what to add.

How far in advance should we book?

Four to eight weeks is the safe window for premium housing, large dinner reservations, and boat availability. F1, SXSW, and ACL weekends go much faster — for those, think months, not weeks. We also rescue last-minute groups all the time; reach out and we'll tell you what's still open.

How many guests can you host?

From a tight crew of 6 to large-format groups of 20+. Two things to know: we can run the planning side with or without housing — stay wherever you want and we'll build the weekend around you — and our stays portfolio covers houses sized for real group takeovers.

What kind of housing do you offer?

Group-tested houses and multi-unit properties picked for bachelor parties — walkable to downtown or set up for a compound weekend, with the bed count, common space, and parking a real group needs. Browse the stays portfolio or read our where to stay guide.

Do you handle restaurant and nightlife reservations?

Yes — steakhouse private rooms, hibachi chefs at the house, nightclub tables with bottle service, and gentlemen's club access. Large groups of guys get turned away at doors routinely; ours don't, because entry is coordinated before you land. See the activities catalog for what we book.

What is the drinking age, and when do bars close?

The drinking age in Texas is 21, and bars close at 2:00 AM. Sixth Street and Rainey Street both run right up to last call, and the after-party moves back to the house — which is why our houses are picked for exactly that.

What if our group size or dates change?

Group sizes shift constantly — guys drop, dates flex around weddings. As long as you give us a heads-up, most changes are no problem, and pricing updates automatically as the group changes. We handle every update a best man would otherwise deal with himself. Start the inquiry and we'll build the flexibility in from day one.

EXPERIENCE

PRIVATE CHEF

A private chef takes over your house kitchen for the night — multi-course dinner, plated and served, zero reservations required and nobody splitting seventeen ways at a restaurant. The groom's dinner without the restaurant's time limit.
