Flight
Santa Barbara Airport is a small, easy-to-navigate airport with just five gates, making arrivals and departures a breeze. It is conveniently located only 10–15 minutes from our venue and recommended hotels. While flight options are more limited due to its size, SBA is served by major airlines including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines
Flight
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) often offers a wider selection of flights at more competitive prices. However, traveling from LAX to Santa Barbara can require some planning. For a convenient and reliable transfer, we recommend the Santa Barbara Airbus, which provides frequent shuttle service directly between LAX and Santa Barbara.

Travel Note
We also recommend looking for accommodations on Airbnb, as it can offer a more affordable alternative to hotels. Both Goleta and Santa Barbara are within 10-minute drives of the ceremony site.
