Travel and Hotels

Santa Barbara is about 90 mins north of Los Angeles. Out of town guests can find tips for travel options and hotel accommodations below. Hotel blocks are a rarity in Santa Barbara, but we do have a couple listed as well as recommendations for other hotels. Feel free to find your own accommodations as well — Santa Barbara is full of little bed and breakfasts, boutique hotels, and airbnb/vrbos. For your reference, all of our events will be near Alameda Park or in Downtown Santa Barbara (near State Street). Lastly, Santa Barbara is Josh and Emma's favorite weekend LA-getaway. It's a fun, beautiful little beach town with a ton of things to do. While the wedding weekend will be full of hosted events, we encourage our guests to take full advantage of the trip!

Flight

LAX

LAX is the biggest hub and probably most affordable and convenient. Burbank Airport is smaller but slightly closer to Santa Barbara, if that's more your vibe. Any of the LA-area airports should work as well. Lastly, Santa Barbara does have it's own, small airport if you prefer. Times to Santa Barbara (by car) from: LAX — 100 min Burbank — 90 min

Train

Pacific Surfer

The Pacific Surfer is a convenient travel option for getting to Santa Barbara from the LA-area and/or airports for those who don't want to drive/rent a car — and it goes along the coast the whole way providing beautiful views! The train line stops at each LA-area airport.

Travel Note

Santa Barbara Air Bus

Coach bus that takes travelers directly from LAX airport to Santa Barbara. Super convenient option for guests who don't want to drive/rent a car.
