When I think about the most romantic getaways, it’s not always the big cities or far-off tropical resorts that stand out. Honestly, it’s the quiet charm of small towns that stays with me. I’ve made some of my favorite memories strolling quiet streets, sipping wine at local cafés, and just soaking in the slower pace. If you’re dreaming of a peaceful, heartfelt escape after your big day, these small-town honeymoon destinations across the U.S. are the ones I always recommend—you’ll find beauty, intimacy, and a little magic in each one.
