FAQs
Question
What if COVID-19 is still a major problem in August?
Answer
We totally get it and your health and safety are our number one priority. We'd never want you to do anything you're not comfortable with! Traveling to California is a destination for many of you and you should do what you are comfortable with, we mean it! We do recommend that you book refundable accommodation as soon as possible as hotels aren't yet operating at full capacity and the price point increases weekly. The same goes for airfare. Book early to get a great deal and just be sure your ticket is cancelable. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates.

Question
What happens if I miss the shuttle to the wedding venue?
Answer
Please don't! We will do everything possible to be sure you are on the shuttle, including having multiple departure times. There is no parking at the venue and travel by Uber, cabs, and/or personal cars is not permitted on the property.
Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
Uber is abundant in Santa Barbara and most beaches are within walking distance from Downtown and State Street. However, if you plan to day trip to the San Ynez Valley or Los Olivos wine country, hike near Lake Cachuma or explore nearby surf beaches and towns, we definitely recommend having a car. Downtown Santa Barbara is a totally walkable city and biking is also highly recommended and safe!
Question

Answer
Yes! You can find the wedding registry under the registry tab.
