Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outside?
The ceremony will take place outdoors in the gardens of the courthouse. The reception will take place on La Paloma's patio, which is outside, but is covered and heated.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will take place at 4:15 pm. Please arrive by 4:00 to ensure everyone is seated on time.
What kind of weather should I expect?
We can't promise anything, but November is right at the end of Santa Barbara's peak season, so the weather SHOULD be nice and mildly cool. The average temperature in Santa Barbara in November ranges from a high of 69 to a low of 52. There is a slight chance of rain.
What should I expect after the ceremony?
After the ceremony, the couple will be taking pictures at the courthouse for about an hour. Guests can walk down the street to La Paloma Cafe, where the restaurant's bar will be open prior to the reception starting at 6:00. Guests can also walk to Dune Coffee for a pick me up before the reception begins. La Paloma Cafe is a nice 10 minute walk from the courthouse. Guests can also call an Uber or Lyft if they prefer not to walk.
