The ceremony will start promptly at 4:30pm PST. We ask that you arrive 20-25 minutes before!
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
We love all our friend's and family's children! However, due to space restrictions we cannot accommodate guests under the age of 21 on our wedding day, with the exception of children in the immediate family. We encourage you to use this evening to have a fun date night!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to the limited capacity of our venue, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless specifically indicated on your envelope. For example, if you have a plus one, your address will be listed as "Mr./Miss XYZ and guest". We want everyone to share in the celebration and this will ensure that we are surrounded by our close friends and family. We hope you understand!
Question
Everyone's favorite question, what's the bar situation?
Answer
We will provide a full open bar with spirits, beer, cocktails, and a selection of red & white wines.
Question
Where do I park?
Answer
The Ritz-Carlton Bacara offers valet at $20/car for events. Our #1 priority is ensuring our guests avoid unsafe situations. If you are planning on drinking, Santa Barbara has plenty of ride share options like Uber and Lyft.
Question
Is the venue handicap accessible?
Answer
Yes! The venue offers transportation around the resort at request. The ceremony and reception venues are easily accessible for handicap guests.
