Flight
For guests traveling from out of state and comfortable flying, Santa Barbara has a small airport you can book flights into. From there, it's about a 30-40 minute drive into the hills of Santa Ynez. Thus, a rental car would be needed. https://www.flysba.santabarbaraca.gov
Hotel
We have arranged a small wedding block at The Landsby (in Solvang), where Sean and I will be staying. The shuttle to/from Kestrel park will be picking up/dropping off from here. If there is availability and it fits your budget, we highly recommend staying here for ease of transportation to/from the venue (and it's the nicest hotel in Solvang). If not, no worries, there are many other options within walking/driving distance to The Landsby. Since available rooms are limited, booking early will give you a wider variety of price/room options. Our block will be held until Aug 6th before the hotel releases remaining rooms to the public. If you still want to book after 8/6, our discount will be available. But, room availability is not guaranteed. To book, please call 805.688.3121 and mention LIU-WAINWRIGHT wedding. 2-night minimum is required for Fri 10/1 & Sat 10/2. Free cancellation up to 72 hours before check-in. Additional nights (Thurs-Sun) are available at a discounted rate, as well.
