The trip after the wedding

Palm Springs 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.

  • Palm Springs has 3 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 $250 a night in Portland and $400 in Palm Springs — roughly $150 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in October. Palm Springs also holds up in January, February, March, April, November, December, and Portland in May, June, July, August, September.
  • Palm Springs is in CA, Portland in OR.
