Travel + Accommodations

The Wedding Website of Lizzie Eckhardt and Travis Allen
It means the world to us that you're making the trip to celebrate with us in beautiful Santa Barbara. We're so grateful to spend this special weekend surrounded by the people we love most. To help make your travel planning as easy as possible, we've reserved room blocks at three Santa Barbara hotels (Hilton, Marriott, & Best Western) —each offering a unique mix of style, location, and budget. You’ll find all the details below, including booking links and any special rates we've secured. We’ve also included a few additional hotel recommendations — while they aren’t part of our wedding room block or discounted rate, they’re great options since Santa Barbara has so many wonderful places to stay! We've also included information on the most convenient airports, so you can choose the travel option that works best for you.
