The trip after the wedding

Sedona or Sonoma?

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 Sonoma. 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 $500 in Sonoma — roughly $150 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in March, April, May, September, October, November. Sonoma in June.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Sedona (16 things) than in Sonoma (10), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Sedona is in AZ, Sonoma in CA.
