Please no cell phones for photos or videos during the ceremony or speeches. We want you to be fully present in the moment. We have professional photography and videography to capture the event end-to-end. Please let them take care of it during the talking parts. We will be happy to share photos and videos with you!
The ceremony will be outside on the wooden dock, so heels are discouraged. Flats and wedges are tested and approved!
To minimize disruption and maintain sanctity, the ceremony is intended for guests over the age of 8. We're happy to help you find childcare during the event.
We encourage you to take the Amtrak from Union Station to Santa Barbara, or drive. Please give yourself 4 hours to make the drive to buffer for unpredictable California traffic.
We will have a shuttle picking up guests at the Best Western Beachside Inn starting at 5PM to take you directly to the venue. There is no parking for event guests on the pier, so please take the shuttle or a ride share service. The shuttle will take people back to the Best Western Beachside Inn as the night winds down.
Assuming it's like it was the year before, expect about 70 degrees around 7PM.
