Airport: Santa Barbara Airport (SBA)
SBA is the nearest and most convenient option for all guests. It’s a small, easy airport located just 10 minutes from Goleta and 15–20 minutes from Santa Barbara.
If you prefer a larger airport, LAX is ~2 hours south, but we recommend SBA whenever possible.
Our venue, Tuscan Hills, is located in Goleta, just north of Santa Barbara. Guests can comfortably stay in either area:
Santa Barbara (More lively and what we would recommend)
Beautiful, walkable, and full of restaurants, wine bars, and beaches. Only a short drive to Goleta.
Santa Barbara Hotels:
Santa Barbara Inn (no air conditioning)
The Boardwalk Beach House (Airbnb)
Goleta (Closest to Venue)
A calm, relaxed part of town. Closest to the venue and the airport. Great for convenience.
Goleta Hotels:
The Hilton Garden Inn (this is where the shuttle will pick up guests)
There is no parking available at Tuscan Hills, and all guests are required to take the wedding shuttle.
Shuttle Pick-Up Begins: 2:45 PM
Pick-Up Location: The Hilton Garden Inn 6878 Hollister Ave, Goleta, CA 93117
Return shuttles will run throughout the evening.
Please plan your travel accordingly so you don’t miss the shuttle window.
Santa Barbara is at its absolute best in late August: warm days, cool evenings, and perfect beach weather.
Downtown SB offers great restaurants, wine tasting rooms, and shops if you’re looking to explore before or after the wedding.
