The Wedding Website of Judy Lao and Stephen Lou
Below are helpful tips to make your journey as smooth as possible, including a room block at Hampton Inn (link and discount code below). Our venue is in a rural area, so we recommend having a car for the weekend. While rideshares are available, service can be limited. If you're local, driving is easiest. Otherwise, we suggest flying into Santa Barbara (SBA), renting a car, and staying in Solvang, which offers a variety of accommodations, restaurants, and shops.

Flight

Santa Barbara Airport

Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) offers the best balance of flight availability and proximity to Solvang (~45 min away). Most guests will find this to be the easiest and most convenient option.

Flight

San Luis Obispo Airport

San Luis Obispo Airport (SBP) is a great alternative, though it is slightly farther from Solvang (~1 hour away).

Flight

Santa Maria Airport

Santa Maria Airport (SMX) is the closest airport to the area (~40 minutes away), but has very limited flight options - primarily from Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Train

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner

If you're feeling really adventurous and time permits, take a scenic trip on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner. You can stop in Santa Barbara or Goleta to explore, grab a rental car, and be on your way.
