The trip after the wedding

Jacksonville or Kiawah Island?

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.

  • Kiawah Island has 2 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Jacksonville. 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 Jacksonville and $350 in Kiawah Island — roughly $100 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in May, October. Jacksonville also holds up in March, April, November, and Kiawah Island in June, July, August, September.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Jacksonville (13 things) than in Kiawah Island (8), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Jacksonville is in FL, Kiawah Island in SC.
