Things to Do
Santa Barbara has a bunch of great areas to explore and things to do if you're traveling for the weekend! We are including some of our favorite places to eat & drink below, but if you are looking for a particular cuisine or activity you don't see listed, please reach out to the bride & groom directly at hannahkoper@gmail.com.
On Friday night, the Welcome Reception will be in the Funk Zone, which is home to an array of walkable breweries, wine tasting rooms, and restaurants. If you continue up State Street, you will come across the other main area of downtown with shopping and more great eating/drinking spots.
