The trip after the wedding

Chicago or Traverse City?

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.

  • Traverse City has 2 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Chicago. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $400 a night in Chicago and $465 in Traverse City — roughly $65 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in June, July, August, September, October. Chicago also holds up in May.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Chicago (20 things) than in Traverse City (12), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Chicago is in IL, Traverse City in MI.
