FAQs
Question
When do I need to RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP no later than May 15!
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Black tie! And let the Fiesta spirit inspire you—lots of color is welcome!
Question
When should I book my hotel?
Answer
As soon as possible! Fiesta makes hotels pretty expensive if you wait too long, but if you get your room (or Airbnb) far in advance the price is normal!
Question
What is Fiesta?
Answer
Fiesta is an annual week-long party celebrating Santa Barbara’s Spanish (and Mexican!) roots. There will be flamenco and folklorico shows, rodeos and parades, vaqueros on horseback, margaritas flowing, mariachi bands roaming the streets and lots and lots of confetti eggs. It’s the perfect time to visit!
Question
Where should I fly into?
Answer
You can fly into Santa Barbara directly or into LAX. Los Angeles is about 1.5 hours from Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara is slightly more expensive to fly into so if you choose to fly into LAX, you can either rent a car or take the Airbus which takes you from the airport right into Santa Barbara - it’s super easy.
Question
How should I get to the venue?
Answer
There is parking at the venue so if you want to drive yourself and park, you’re welcome to - you’re also able to leave your car overnight so you can really enjoy yourself! Otherwise Uber/Lyft is the easiest. The venue is also pretty central in Santa Barbara so depending on where you’re staying you could walk!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
If your invite is addressed to you “and guest” then absolutely! If your invite doesn’t say “and guest” then no, unfortunately! We have limited space, and we want you all to ourselves.
Question
Is the wedding going to be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony, cocktails, and dinner will be outdoors. Dancing will be indoors. It’s Santa Barbara in the summer and we should be inside by the time it gets a little chilly but you may want to bring a little something warm just in case!
