Travel Note
Santa Barbara is a small town and can get expensive during peak (summer) season. We recommend booking early! While we reserved a few hotel rooms as blocks, we highly recommend the many more affordable options through AirBnB and VRBO. There are also several smaller hotels that do not offer room blocks, but that you can book individually. We've linked some of our favorite AirBnBs below:
Hotel
We reserved a small room block at the Belmond El Encanto, which is also our wedding venue. The 5 star resort offers sweeping views and charming bungalow-style rooms. Rooms start at $525/night. Please call 805 845 5800 to book and refer to the Lich-Packer wedding.
Hotel
The Santa Barbara Inn is a newly renovated 4 star hotel right across the street from East Beach. Rooms start at $249/night on Sunday and $359/night on Fri/Sat. To reserve, call (805) 966 2285 and let them know you are part of the Lich-Packer wedding. Group rate expires May 15th.
