Can I bring a plus one?

As much as we'd love to celebrate with everyone, our space is very limited. Your invitation will indicate the name of everyone in your household that is invited, but please reach out to us if it feels unclear! Thank you for understanding!

What should I do in Santa Barbara?

Thank you for traveling all the way to Santa Barbara! Although we hope you enjoy the wedding, we also hope you enjoy Santa Barbara. To help you make the most of your time here, we put together a document with recommendations for food, drink, and activities.

How do I get to Santa Barbara?

There are a few options to get to Santa Barbara ranging in price and convenience.

Fly into Santa Barbara (SBA). This is the most convenient, but often the most expensive option. From SBA we recommend taking a taxi to your accommodations.
Fly into Los Angeles (LAX). After you fly into LAX you can get to Santa Barbara via the Airbus or rent a car for the weekend.
We love to travel via the Amtrak from Oakland and sit in the observation deck for the long (but cheap) ride. We highly recommend this option for people coming from throughout California!

How do I get to the wedding?

The ceremony is located in downtown Santa Barbara. To get to the ceremony we recommend walking, taking a Lyft/Uber, or driving and parking in Lot #9. We will provide transportation from the wedding ceremony to the reception location (~4 minute drive). Who knows where the night will end, but you'll be able to either walk or get a Lyft home!

What is the dress code?

We would love our guests to wear something formal and funky. "What is that?" you think to yourself, angry at another vague wedding dress code. See here for a few ideas, or text Colette (805-452-2329) if you need some help! We highly recommend wearing something you already own that makes you feel fabulous.

Is the wedding inside or outside?

The ceremony will be indoors and then we will take an open-air trolly ~5 minutes to the reception venue. If it's not raining, we'll have a mix of indoor and outdoor seating at dinner, so please bring layers. If it is raining we will have all events inside, but still recommend a coat for walking to the trolly.

What weather should I expect?

February in Santa Barbara can be sunny with bright blue skies, or raining with a cozy atmosphere. The average temperatures are 65°F during the day, but drop to 45°F at night. We recommend bringing layers.

Can I see a photo of Otis?
