The trip after the wedding

Mendocino or Palm 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.

  • Palm Springs has 3 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Mendocino. 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 Palm Springs and $800 in Mendocino — roughly $400 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in October. Mendocino also holds up in May, June, July, August, September, and Palm Springs in January, February, March, April, November, December.
