The trip after the wedding

Gatlinburg or Hot Springs?

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.

  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $150 a night in Gatlinburg and $500 in Hot Springs — roughly $350 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in April, May, September, October. Gatlinburg also holds up in June, July, and Hot Springs in March, November.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Gatlinburg (13 things) than in Hot Springs (6), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Gatlinburg is in TN, Hot Springs in AR.
