Flight
Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) is the closest airport. Los Angeles (LAX) would be the next best. If flying into LAX, we'd recommend taking the Santa Barbara Airbus to Carpinteria or Santa Barbara.
Hotel
We recommend guests stay here. It's a five-minute drive from the wedding venue and a short ten-minute walk to the main street (Linden Ave) in Carpinteria. The hotel has ample free parking. Note, they do not offer hotel blocks in the summer, so we recommend booking now before rates rise and there's limited availability.
House Or Rental
There are various AirBnB & Vrbo options in Carpinteria. Summerland (5 minutes north of Carpinteria) is another good option.
