Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Caterina Scordato and Marc McKittrick

Santa Barbara is our favorite place in the world and will soon be yours. Influenced by the city's rich history and Spanish heritage, the architecture features red-tiled roofs, white stucco walls, and intricate details. Walking through the streets of Santa Barbara feels like stepping into a Mediterranean paradise, with beautiful buildings that showcase the city's unique charm and character. The entire town is a 30 mile radius, and has everything from beach experiences, luxury resorts and activities, wine country, local cuisine, and so much more...

Downtown Santa Barbara & The Funk Zone

Downtown Santa Barbara has two neighborhoods to experience. State Street which is miles long filled with restaurants, bars, coffee shops and boutiques. The Funk Zone is a newer development with breweries, tasting rooms, restaurants and art. Favorite Restaurants: Loquita - Embrace Authentic Spanish cuisine in the heart of Downtown Santa Barbara Oku - Sushi and Asian Cuisine with rooftop experiences and amazing cocktails. Toma - Authentic Italian cuisine across from the beach. A place that feels like we're back in Chicago!

Santa Ynez Valley

35 minutes north of Downtown; Santa Barbara County’s wine country boasting over 150 wineries, tasting rooms, and vineyards. I compare Santa Ynez to the way Napa was 25 years ago – boutique and organic, with a booming food & beverage scene. Santa Ynez is surrounded by other adorable “sophisticated cowboy towns” like Los Alamos, Los Olivos, and Solvang (a Danish-American town with amazing restaurants and European charm). Favorite Vineyards (besides Vega of Course): Sunstone Brick Barn Demetria Gainey Vineyards Restaurants: SY Kitchen Bell's in Los Alamos Leonardo's
