Question

Should I bring a gift?

Answer

We appreciate the journey our guests are making to get to Santa Barbara for our wedding. Truly, the best gift we can ask for is our friends and family showing up for us. As such, gifts are completely optional. If you still feel inclined, we have a small registry on our website. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We’re keeping our celebration small and intimate, so we’re only able to invite the guests listed on the invitation. We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your little ones, but we’re keeping this an adults-only celebration. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy a fun night out!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

We won’t have shuttles or transportation, but the ceremony and reception are within easy walking distance of each other, so you won’t need to travel far between venues. To get to the courthouse, we recommend taking an Uber or Lyft. If you would prefer to drive, there are 2 nearby parking structures that allow for overnight parking: Lot 6, 1221 Anacapa St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Lot 7, 1115 Anacapa St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Yes! We are hosting a beach barbecue on Sunday, May 31st, 2026 at 12:30 PM at Leadbetter Beach. When you enter the parking lot, go right, all the way to the end. There is a picnic area at the end of the parking lot reserved for our party. Come enjoy some hotdogs and beer before the big day! We may plan less organized activities throughout the weekend, so keep in touch when you arrive to Santa Barbara.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress Code: Formal Garden Party For Women: Midi or maxi-length dresses are recommended. Suggested colors can be found in the gallery. The ceremony will be on grass, so shoes suitable for the lawn are a good idea. For Men: Button-up shirts with coats are suggested. Ties are optional.
