The trip after the wedding

Columbia or Fort Lauderdale?

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.

  • Fort Lauderdale has 3 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Columbia. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $200 a night in Columbia and $350 in Fort Lauderdale — roughly $150 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in April, May, October. Columbia also holds up in June, September, and Fort Lauderdale in January, February, March, November, December.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Fort Lauderdale (17 things) than in Columbia (6), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Columbia is in SC, Fort Lauderdale in FL.
