FAQs

Question

What is parking like at the venues?

Answer

Our Lady of Mount Carmel has a designated parking lot as well as parking along East Valley road. Our reception venue doesn’t have on-site parking, but there’s a public lot right across the street at 720 Santa Barbara Street. If you’d prefer to skip the parking, we recommend using Uber or Lyft so you can fully enjoy the cocktails!

Question

What weather can we expect?

Answer

Early October in Santa Barbara is typically lovely! Expect average highs around 74°F (23°C) and cooler evenings with lows around 55°F (13°C). Rain is pretty rare this time of year (fingers crossed!), so you can likely count on clear skies and perfect dancing weather.

Question

Is the reception inside or outside?

Answer

The reception will be outdoors, so plan accordingly for sunshine during the day and cooler temps in the evening.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code is cocktail attire. Ladies, the reception venue has gravel grounds, so we recommend opting for block heels, wedges, or flats to avoid any tricky terrain. And of course, bring your dancing shoes because we expect to see you on the dance floor!

Question

Can I bring my kids, my dog or a plus one?

Answer

We love your little ones, your poodles and your favorite plus ones, but due to the intimacy of our celebration, we’re keeping it to invited guests only. Thank you for understanding—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
