Why you Should Take a “Minimoon” to Beaufort, SC

Mini Moon in Beaufort SC

Planning a long honeymoon while also organizing a large wedding weekend can be overwhelming for many couples. Newlyweds will sometimes find themselves exhausted and stressed after so many months of event coordination. Adding an expensive vacation on top of that can feel more like a chore than a fun adventure to be enjoyed.

A recent trend we are seeing here at the Cuthbert House Inn is the emergence of a “minimoon” which foregoes the typical long two-week honeymoon abroad, in favor of a short getaway close to home or the wedding venue. Mini-moons are a great,  affordable way to unwind and spend quality time with your new spouse before returning to your daily life. 

If you’re looking for a peaceful and romantic getaway after the hustle and bustle of your wedding day, a minimoon in Beaufort, SC is the perfect choice. Here are five reasons why:

Stay Local: Beaufort is an incredibly beautiful and charming town, located right in the heart of the Lowcountry. From the picturesque waters of the Atlantic to the historic area of downtown Beaufort, you can enjoy all the beauty of a beach getaway without having to travel far from home! Whether you are a full-time resident or just in town for the big day, staying nearby will save you time. Start your honeymoon immediately after the wedding at The Cuthbert House Inn and skip the stress of travel.

Save Money: You can still have an amazing honeymoon experience without breaking the bank. A shorter minimoon means fewer meals out, nights at a hotel, excursions, travel fees… you get the idea! Whether you choose to put these savings towards a longer honeymoon down the road or a life goal like a new home, your budget will thank you.

You will also save vacation days. Most people take a few days off work leading up to their wedding, and they don’t always have more to spare. A minimoon allows you the chance to unwind and spend time together while also saving vacation days should you want to take a longer trip in the future.
