The trip after the wedding

Portland or Santa Barbara?

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.

  • Santa Barbara 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 $250 a night in Portland and $400 in Santa Barbara — roughly $150 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in May, June, July, August, September, October. Santa Barbara in March, April, November.
  • Portland is in OR, Santa Barbara in CA.
