Find a weekend for your group trip

A weekend away needs an answer about the full stay. In PickaWhen, you can make each Saturday-to-Sunday period one option. Your group can compare possible weekends without choosing separate appointment slots for each day.

How to get started

  1. Choose your weekend options

    Start a group poll. Use full date ranges or continuous timed periods, depending on whether the arrival and departure times are fixed.

  2. Create the poll and invite the group

    Check the summary and select Create poll. Share the participant link and ask everyone to answer for the full stay on each proposed weekend.

  3. Confirm before arranging the trip

    Review the votes and any required attendees. Confirm the chosen weekend and share the final travel details with your group.

Example: choose a weekend together

Invitation you can adapt

Which weekend works for our trip? Open the poll link and mark every weekend you can join. Choose Yes, If needed or No. Please reply by Friday so we can confirm the dates.
Example responses
ParticipantWeekend AWeekend BWeekend C
AlexYesYesNo
SamIf neededYesNo
RobinNoYesIf needed

All three people can attend weekend B. The organizer can confirm that option. Weekend A would require Sam to make an adjustment, and Robin cannot attend.

These names and votes are fictional. This example has shared results enabled. In a real poll, the organizer can keep results private before people respond.

Whole days when the times can wait

Choose a group poll with dates without fixed times. Add a date range for each possible weekend. For example, 9 to 10 January 2027 is one option, and 16 to 17 January is another. A Yes response means that the person can attend that whole period.

Date-only options retain the same calendar dates across time zones. Explain in the event description whether the stay includes Friday evening or only Saturday and Sunday. You can agree on travel times after choosing the weekend.

One continuous event with exact times

If arrival and departure times matter, use timed options. Enter a start date and time and an end date and time, such as Saturday at 09:00 until Sunday at 15:00. This is one continuous option for the overnight stay.

Individual appointment booking divides availability into separate bookable times. For a group choosing which weekend to attend together, use a group vote and review each complete weekend before creating the poll.

Create several possible weekends

You can enter the ranges yourself or use the optional homepage chat. For example: “Suggest every Saturday-to-Sunday weekend from January through June 2027, without fixed times.” Check that the preview contains one option per weekend and that both endpoint dates are correct.

The chat sends your text to an external AI provider. Keep it to scheduling requirements and add personal details later. Remove holiday weekends or dates you already know will not work. These are alternative dates for one trip. Enable a recurring meeting only when you intend to hold several separate events.

Create a schedule from text

Try one of these requests in the AI scheduling chat. These previews are illustrations. The chat creates a fresh plan for your dates, which you can check and edit before creating your poll or booking page.

Common questions

Can I include Friday through Sunday?

Yes. Use a date range from Friday to Sunday, or enter exact start and end times when they are relevant. Each complete period is one voting option.

What if everyone is available on a different weekend?

You can collect suggestions or add another voting round. Earlier responses remain available while your group considers the new options.
