FAQs

Question

Can we bring our kids?

Answer

As politely as possible, we’re having a kid-free ceremony* & reception. While we dearly love all your little ones, we prefer you are fully present and celebrating with us for this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. We’re also hoping you’ll take our destination wedding as an opportunity to escape your responsibilities and enjoy a little piece of paradise. That said, we completely understand if you’ll need to depart on the earlier side of Sunday to return home in time to get your children ready for school on Tuesday. *(with exception to possibly our nieces & nephews)

Question

Should we spend the whole weekend with you in Santa Barbara?

Answer

Absolutely! We recommend you fly in on Friday and out on Monday. Spend as much time as possible in beautiful Santa Barbara with us!

Question

What’s the best way to get to Santa Barbara?

Answer

If you are flying, we recommend you either: 1) Fly into Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) 2) Fly into Los Angeles Airport (LAX), rent a car and drive or take the Amtrak train

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

If you fly into LAX, it certainly helps; you’ll enjoy a nice scenic 2 hour drive up the California coast on PCH. If you take the train or fly into Santa Barbara, there are plenty of Ubers in the area, so not necessary.
