The Wedding Website of Matthew Bush and Launa Gilbert
Don't forget your swim suits everyone cause you're gonna need them!!!! I added a couple of budget motels in convenient locations with beach access and on site parking. Anything near lower State Street, funk zone, and the East and West Beach area are all good locations. Farther up State Street can be convenient as well but not as beach accessible. Hotels in the surrounding towns of Monticito, Carpinteria, and Goleta are only 2 or 3 miles away from Santa Barbara and transportation pick up points, however the main access to these surrounding areas is the Ca Hwy 101 which can get very backed up and time consuming with traffic build up. YUK! And parking downtown can be taxing for those with little patience (aka Gilbert Family) lol . We have provided transportation to and from wedding location at designated pick up and drop off points.
