The trip after the wedding

New York or Portland?

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.

  • New York has 2 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Portland. 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 Portland and $600 in New York — roughly $200 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in May, June, July, August, September, October. New York also holds up in April.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in New York (20 things) than in Portland (12), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • New York is in NY, Portland in ME.

Private charter through Casco Bay past the Calendar Islands with chilled Maine sparkling wine and a sunset that turns the harbor pink and gold without effort.
