Summer Solstice Celebration
Since Santa Barbara hosts a large annual Summer Solstice celebration on the same weekend as our wedding (how dare they), we kindly suggest booking accommodations sooner rather than later as things book up quickly in this little city!

Accommodations
If you choose to rent an AirBnb for the weekend, we suggest finding a home in East Mesa, West Beach, Downtown, Lower State, or East Beach, as these are all relatively close to the majority of activities! If you choose to get a hotel, we suggest something on State Street. The Welcome Party, Ceremony Bus Pick-up Location, and After Party Bar Hopping will all take place near Lower State Street. This would be a great option for walkability!

Airport Choices
Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA): Closest and most convenient airport, only 15 minutes from Downtown Santa Barbara. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): Most flight options, but about 2 hours away from Downtown Santa Barbara. If you choose this option, look into taking the SB Airbus for $55 to avoid needing a rental car. Burbank Hollywood Airport (BUR): Similar to LAX, about 2 hours from Downtown Santa Barbara. You will likely need a rental car to get to Downtown Santa Barbara.

LAX to Santa Barbara AirBus
The drive from LAX to Santa Barbara is roughly 2 hours. If you do not want to rent a car, the SB Airbus has tickets for $55. Choose "Santa Barbara - La Cumbre Plaza" as the drop off location.
