The trip after the wedding

Kiawah Island or Memphis?

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 Memphis. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $300 a night in Memphis and $350 in Kiawah Island — roughly $50 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in May, September, October. Kiawah Island also holds up in June, July, August, and Memphis in March, April, November.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Memphis (12 things) than in Kiawah Island (8), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Kiawah Island is in SC, Memphis in TN.
