The trip after the wedding

Bozeman or Carmel-by-the-Sea?

Both work for a group after the wedding. Here is what actually separates them, from our own rows rather than from a template.

The trip you take with your friends right after the wedding — instead of the honeymoon, or before it.

  • Bozeman has 2 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Carmel-by-the-Sea. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $250 a night in Bozeman and $590 in Carmel-by-the-Sea — roughly $340 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in June, September. Bozeman also holds up in January, February, March, July, August, December, and Carmel-by-the-Sea in April, May, October, November.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Bozeman (19 things) than in Carmel-by-the-Sea (10), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Bozeman is in MT, Carmel-by-the-Sea in CA.

One of the world's great coastal drives — stop at Bixby Creek Bridge, McWay Falls, and Pfeiffer Beach for the purple-sand moment the group will talk about for years.
