There are a lot of ways to start your weekend on the Gulf Coast, but few come close to the laid-back luxury of a private sushi dinner right at your beach house. Whether you’re celebrating a bachelorette party, birthday, or just a well-earned girls’ trip, Bama Sushi offers the perfect mix of coastal vibes, creative fun, and unforgettable food to kick things off in style.

The Experience: Chill, Classy, and Totally Custom

Picture this: You and your crew have just arrived in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, or 30A. The drinks are cold, the playlist is on point, and your private chef is setting up a fresh sushi spread in your Airbnb kitchen. No waiting for a table. No Ubers. No stress. Just you, your besties, and some of the most flavorful rolls you’ve ever tasted.

‍

What makes this experience even better? It’s totally hands-on. With expert guidance from your chef, you’ll learn how to roll your own sushi masterpieces. Want to kick back and leave it to the pros? That’s fine too. Bama Sushi adapts to your group’s vibe, whether you’re into DIY fun or just here for the rosé and sashimi.

From Side Hustle to Sushi Sensation

The magic behind Bama Sushi starts with founder Kelly Jo, who’s been working as a sushi chef for 15 years and professionally cooking for 25. Back in 2011, she started getting the same request over and over: “Can you come to our house and show us how to make sushi?”

‍

She said yes, and what started as a fun favor quickly became a full-blown business. By 2013, private classes were booming. By 2016, Kelly Jo left her job behind the sushi bar to focus on Bama Sushi full-time, hitting breweries, colleges, and homes all over the Southeast with her interactive sushi experiences.

‍

Today, she’s taught over 16,000 students across 18 states, from sorority houses at Bama and UGA to private beach houses along the Gulf Coast. Her goal? Make sushi approachable, fun, and totally party-worthy.

Why It Works for Group Trips

Let’s be honest…planning a group weekend can be chaos. Restaurants get booked, group chats get messy, and by the time you’ve made a reservation, half the group is hangry. A private sushi party with Bama Sushi solves all of that.

‍

It’s a no-stress, fully customizable event that comes to you. Want an elevated welcome dinner that still feels relaxed? Done. Looking for an interactive activity before a night out? Even better. Want to surprise the bride-to-be or birthday girl with something they’ve never done before? This checks every box.

‍

And the vibe? Immaculate. We’re talking beachy cocktails, beautiful boards of hand-rolled sushi, and memories you’ll still be laughing about long after the tan fades.

‍

While they’re best known for their Gulf Coast parties, they also roll into Nashville, Atlanta, and even mountain towns like Gatlinburg. Whether you’re coastal or landlocked, they bring the beach vibes to you.

Final Thoughts: Roll Into the Weekend Right

There’s no better way to kick off a celebration than with something fresh, fun, and totally unexpected. A private sushi dinner with Bama Sushi brings people together, sets the tone for the weekend, and turns any beach house into a pop-up restaurant with front-row sunset views.

‍

If you’re heading to the Gulf Coast for a bachelorette bash, birthday trip, or beachy girls’ weekend, roll into your weekend with Bama Sushi. It’s hands-on, high-vibe, and effortlessly cool, just like your crew.
