FAQs

Question

I saw CA requires a mask indoors now-do I need to wear a mask?

Answer

CA now requires masks in indoor public places. Our venue is considered outside, during the wedding, you do not need to wear a mask unless you want to. All staff will be masked. You will need to wear a mask on the bus rides, at the after party (when not in our reserved area) as well in places in Santa Barbara while you are visiting, so please have one with you at all times!

Question

Do I need to be vaccinated or have a COVID test prior to the wedding?

Answer

While CA weddings are no longer required vaccinations/testing, we ask that you are either vaccinated or have a negative COVID test prior to the wedding festivities. The well being and health of our guests is our top priority so please be respectful of others!

Question

Should I bring a negative COVID test or proof of vaccine with me?

Answer

We are asking everyone gets tested or be vaccinated to attend the wedding to keep everyone as safe as possible! That being said, we have been told some establishments in Santa Barbara are asking to see vaccine or negative tests to enter--so take a photo/bring it with you!

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

If you are staying close to downtown Santa Barbara in one of the hotels recommended/blocks or are in an Airbnb walking distance into town then absolutely not! There are lots of ubers and its a very walkable city. There will be a shuttle provided to the venue as well, as they do not allow cars to park there.

Question

Will there be transportation to the wedding venue?

Answer

Yes! It will leave from Hotel Californian at 3pm. It will return leaving the venue at 10pm for a drop off at Red Piano for an after party. If you are all partied out, there will also be a shuttle back to the hotel.

Question

Whats the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire. No need for the black tie, but keep in mind there will be walking on grass/non-pavement for the ladies with heels!

Question

When are the majority of the guests arriving/leaving?

Answer

Most people will come in Thursday or Friday and leave Sunday or Monday. We will be having a welcome party Friday night as well as some beachside breakfast burritos Sunday morning. There is alot around the area of Santa Barbara, so if you can make a longer stay of it, please enjoy!!
