The trip after the wedding

Santa Fe or Sedona?

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.

  • Sedona has 2 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Santa Fe. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $350 a night in Sedona and $400 in Santa Fe — roughly $50 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in April, May, September, October. Santa Fe also holds up in June, and Sedona in March, November.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Sedona (16 things) than in Santa Fe (10), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Santa Fe is in NM, Sedona in AZ.
