Things To Do
SB Biergarten
In the “Funk Zone”, walking distance from the venue, SB Biergarten puts an American spin on a German Biergarten. They offer comfort food you can enjoy with a massive array of mustards made in-house and pair it with one of their many beer, seltzer, and hard kombucha selections. Luckily, there are many other cocktail and wine bars walking distance also within the “Funk Zone”!
State Street, Downtown Santa Barbara
State Street offers the bulk of places to shop in Santa Barbara, from clothing stores to vintage/antique shops. Alongside shopping, you’ll also find a diverse selection of restaurants and bars to stop at when you get hungry. This is also the place to be for some fun night life!
Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
About 20 minutes from the venue sits the botanical gardens of Santa Barbara. There are 11 sections of the garden that are unique to specific habitats and species that are all native to the area. If you’re a nature lover this is definitely for you!
Carlitos Café y Cantina
This place seriously has some of the best fresh, light, and authentic Mexican food in Santa Barbara. Not only is their food delicious, but they have some of the best margaritas in town. Also, make sure to make a reservation in advance to ensure you get a table. Plus, you might see Oprah there since it’s one of her favorite restaurants in the area!
McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams

Inspiration Point Trailhead
This hike leads you up a mountain that gives you some of the best views of Santa Barbara. It’s a 3.5 mile intermediate hike that only takes a couple hours to complete. You’ll work up a sweat, but the view is totally worth it! Note: Street parking only and must walk to the trailhead.
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History
If you’ve got some extra time and want to learn about the history of the town, definitely stop by this museum! They constantly have a variety of exhibits that switch out every so often. Usually there's a space exhibit to see if you’d like to pay homage to the groom!
