Question

Where should I park?Where should I park?

Answer

Santa Barbara Courthouse (ceremony): Directly across the street from the Anacapa Street entrance is a four-level parking garage. The first 75 minutes are free and then the rate becomes $1.50 an hour after that. There is also free street parking around the courthouse. Please be mindful of the street signs. Cabrillo Pavilion (reception): There is a parking lot on either side of the pavilion for $3.50 per hour with a $20 maximum. There is also free timed street parking on Cabrillo Blvd. We highly recommend using Uber or Lyft to the reception so everyone can relax and enjoy (open bar wink wink) Pro Tip: If you do decide to drive, we really recommend parking on the street if you can...this is a very Southern California thing....and it's one of the greatest feelings in the world when you find a great spot...a free one at that...but please pay attention to street signs...

With our wedding being an adult-only event, this question has come up so we figured we would add this here. Yes. There are several babysitting services offered in Santa Barbara.
