Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

There are many hotels walking distance, or a short Uber ride, from the venue! For upscale, check out the Kimpton Canary, The Waterman, or The Californian! For the more budget conscious, Best Western Pepper Tree Inn, Hyatt Place Santa Barbara or the Quality Inn are good options. There are also many "big box" hotels in nearby Goleta. Check out our "Travel" page for more info.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your kids and can't wait to join you in parenthood, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us. Should you opt to bring your kiddos to Santa Barbara, we've heard great things about The Little Guest babysitting services.

Question

I'm flying in - what is the best airport?

Answer

The nearest airport is Santa Barbara Municipal (SBA) and is a short 15 minute drive from the venue and downtown Santa Barbara. SBA has direct flights from SFO and connections to most major airports. Other airports are Burbank (1.5 hours) and LAX (2 hours).

Question

What should I do before the wedding or on Sunday?

Answer

First, and most importantly, head to the beach! There's a great boardwalk with tons of people watching and oftentimes street vendors. State Street is an easy walk with fun window shopping and tons of restaurant and bar shopping. The Funk Zone on the south end of State Street is an especially concentrated area of this.

Question

We know you love food, and we also love food - where should we eat when not at the wedding??

Answer

Brophy Bros on the pier for amazing clam chowder, oysters and fish & chips. Shoreline Beach Cafe to put your toes in the sand each eat beach bar food. La Super Rica for a quick, casual lunch of the best tacos, chile relleno, and tamales ever. Via Vai is our go-to italian! Get the Cappuchina Salad. Bettina in Montecito for solid wood oven style pizza. Jeannine's Restaurant & Bakery has a great brunch, we love the Montecito location but either is great! Lucky's is a staple if you're looking for an upscale, moody steakhouse.
