It’s almost that time again; the start of wedding season is fast approaching and newlyweds have commenced honeymoon planning. Like most, you’ve planned your dream wedding and the pocketbook is a wee bit lighter than you’d initially hoped. Have no fear—you can have that romantic getaway of your dreams on a mini ’moon, a mini honeymoon. Here are a few cities around (or very close to) the U.S. that can be just as relaxing, romantic, and secluded as those traditional honeymoon spots. These trips may even perfect for those lovebirds who haven’t yet taken the plunge.

1. Montreal
If you and your honey are on the East Coast, head across the border to Montreal, Canada, known for its European feel with Baroque architecture and French-speaking natives. It’s also a foodie paradise, so share a slice with your sugar pie at Rockaberry or sit by candlelight in a secluded booth at Chez Queux, where you’ll be served by waiters in tuxedos while a pianist tickles the ivories.

2. Savannah
It’s hard not to be romantic while sipping an ice-cold mint julep in the steamy heat under the shade of a weeping willow. The south has many options for newlyweds, and Savannah, Georgia can’t be beat for a dose of southern comfort. Basically one big historical landmark, most of downtown Savannah is nationally recognized as such. Get transported back in time to the colonial age on a tour of the Wormsloe Plantation. Wander the streets of downtown soaking in the history, then stop in at 700 Drayton to feast on sumptuous fare in a mansion completely dripping with crystal chandeliers.
