Travel & Where to Stay

Flight

Santa Barbara Airport

Santa Barbara does have an airport (SBA) and it is the closest option to the venue. However, flight options may be limited directly to this small airport.

Train

Amtrak Coastal Starlight

If you're coming from northern or southern California, we highly recommend taking the Amtrak Coastal Starlight. We've done the trek and highly recommend it!

House Or Rental

Airbnb or Vrbo

If you're traveling with a group or looking for more affordable options for a weekend or extended stay, Airbnb or Vrbo are a great option.
