FAQs

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP as soon as possible. If your plans change for any reason before the wedding, we kindly ask that you let us know as soon as you can so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes. We recommend booking your stay at The Leta in Goleta, where transportation to and from the venue will be provided on Saturday. Please look into accommodations as soon as possible to secure the best available rates, as our wedding weekend overlaps with UCSB’s Alumni Weekend and rooms may fill up quickly. Staying in downtown Santa Barbara is also a lot of fun. Other hotel recommendations include the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Drift, Kimpton Canary Hotel, Palihouse, and Moxy. We’d recommend checking out Airbnbs as well.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please check your invitation for any plus ones. We are keeping our celebration intimate, and appreciate your understanding. Only those formally listed on your invite can be accommodated - if you have a plus one, it will also be noted when you RSVP.

Question

Is there parking at the wedding venue?

Answer

Unfortunately, no. Parking is strictly reserved for vendors and not permitted at the venue. Please plan to take one of our pre-arranged transportation buses. Transportation to and from the venue will be provided on Saturday from The Leta, beginning at 1:45 pm.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes. Please see the event details in the "Schedule" tab. For the ceremony and reception, we encourage guests to wear long dresses and blues, greens, and other coastal tones or tuxedos. Bridesmaids will be in yellow.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We adore your little ones, but have chosen to make this an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives everyone the opportunity to relax, unwind, and celebrate with us. Thank you for understanding!

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 3pm, but we encourage guests to please arrive at 2pm to enjoy the welcome hour with light bites, spritzes, and live music before the ceremony begins.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors. Please plan for slightly cooler temperatures after sunset.

Question

Is there arranged transportation to and from the venue?

Answer

Yes. We will be providing a shuttle service to/from the venue from The Leta starting at 1:45pm, as parking is not permitted at Tuscan Hills Estate. The buses will continue running throughout the afternoon until the ceremony begins.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Mid-October in Santa Barbara is usually beautiful, and we are hoping for sunny skies. However, please plan for a cooler coastal evening and consider layering for later in the night.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Please let the bride or groom know as soon as possible if you have strict dietary restrictions. Dinner will be served family style with lots of different options!

Question

Will there be dancing?

Absolutely. Stretch beforehand - the hora is not for the faint of heart... l’chaim :)
