Traveler reviews
Nashville Night to Remember: Our Grand Ole Opry VIP Experience
WOW & AMAZING1— what an unforgettable night! We booked the VIP Experience package directly online many weeks early with the Grand Ole Opry, and it was everything we hoped for and more. We got early access to the private lounge an hour before the show all the way through intermission, plus a chance to meet one of the performers up close. Food was plentiful and drinks were unlimited, which made the 20‑minute intermission feel like a bonus party rather than a wait. The Q&A with the Mandy Barnett (member of the Grand Ole Opry and is well known for portraying Patsy Cline in Always)was fun, personal, and truly special. Then came the show itself — eight different acts, each doing about 15 minutes, with four before intermission and four after. The pacing kept things moving fast and the variety of country music was fantastic. One of the acts was Johnny Cash’s son from his marriage with June Carter Cash, He performed "Jackson" with his wife — a real highlight for any country fan. After the show, we wrapped it up with a backstage tour, including a photo stop on the famous **Ryman Circle**. The whole evening ran about four hours from start to finish, and every minute felt worth it. If you love country music, the Grand Ole Opry is a must — and the VIP Direct experience is the most intimate, fun way to soak it all in.
VIP experience was the best
Excellent show and experience. Highly recommend the VIP experience
VIP Tour of Grand Ole Oprey
Awesome Experience! We did the VIP Tour. Didn't get to meet any performers, but we were a group of 4 people. ( supposed to be 6 ) We got to stand on the Famous Circle where all the performers entertain from and had our pictures taken. David was an excellent Tour Guide and Super knowledgeable. Spend the extra money!!
Rip Off
The experience was very disappointing. The tickets for the VIP experience were in section 31 row Q which is the nosebleed section.
Awesome time!
Our first time and we thought it was fantastic! We highly recommend the Grand Ole Opry to everyone visiting Nashville!
