Tips for planning the trip
Ideas to make the weekend memorable without overspending.
Start from the guest list
Map where everyone lives and look for cities within a few hours' drive.
Set what to spend
Share the per head cost from this page before anyone books.
Visit in the right season
Northern beaches in summer, southern cities in spring or fall.
Book the house and one activity first
Then add restaurants and clubs closer to the date.
Plan around the wedding
One to three months before the wedding leaves time for everyone to recover and save.
5
Hours, the driving limit
Past about five hours people start flying anyway, and the saving disappears.
A drive of a few hours means everybody arrives together, with no flights to book. Past about five hours, a group may fly anyway and the saving shrinks. That five hour mark is Revelwick's rule of thumb, not a measured limit.
09
Planning a getaway on the Atlantic side
Distance, the season and the kind of trip.
The Atlantic coast offers every kind of celebration: beaches and islands, big city nightlife, historic towns and wine country. Start with where the guests live, because a destination the group can drive to removes flights from the budget, then choose the kind of trip the bride wants.
Choose the kind of trip first
Decide between a beach, a city or a laid-back town before comparing cities. It narrows the list quickly and keeps the group focused on what the bride will love.
Think about the season
Beach towns in New England and the Mid-Atlantic suit summer, and cities further south can suit spring or fall. Check the weather and the busy season for your dates before booking the house.
Is Nashville on the east coast?
No. Nashville is in Tennessee, inland, though it appears on some east coast lists. It is priced on its own page.
Drivable, the right season, and the trip the bride wants.
