What you want to know

When and where is the ceremony and reception?

Please click the "Home" tab to find the address and schedule details

Where should I park?

The ceremony is at Alice Keck Park. The ceremony will start at 1:30 PM.


You should be able to find parking next to the park, or in the neighborhood, but if there is no parking, you can park at the reception location, The Narrative Loft because they have a large parking lot. It is 1.8 miles from each other (6 min drive). If you park at the reception location, please do not park directly in front of the entrance because that is where some of the vendors will be located.


If you choose to park at the Narrative Loft, please arrive around 1:00 PM. You may carpool with friends and family/lyft/uber from The Narrative Loft to Alice Keck Park. We will provide some light food and beverage at the park after the ceremony.


Driving in Santa Barbara in general:

There are some construction roads that turn into 1 lane. Near the park, there are some 4 way streets that only have 2 way stop signs so be careful when driving.

Bathroom Info

Alice Keck Park (Ceremony) - Please do not use the park bathrooms. We have rented out a clean 2 stall portable restroom at the entrance to the venue parked on the street.


The Narrative Loft (Reception) - The same 2 stall portable restroom will follow to the reception site and will be located in the parking lot near the entrance. The reception venue also has 2 restrooms, so in total there will be 4 restrooms.

Is there a dress code?

The theme is "Garden Party" 🌻

(no you don't need to show up in all floral)

Both Formal and Semi-Formal attire are acceptable.


If you want my recommendation, I always say, "The bolder, bigger, shinier, fluffier, colorful, the better!" But if you don't like color, you can be super chic and wear black or neutrals too. You don't need to bother worrying about "upstaging the bride."

So, it is entirely up to you on what will make you feel great.

A comfy guest is a happy guest! If you want to match outfit colors with other guests for the ✨ aesthetic, please coordinate amongst yourselves.


Some setting details to keep in mind:

The ceremony will be in an outdoor park with grass and some dirt.

The reception is indoors, but there is a lengthy stairway (no elevator) leading up to the main area, so please be prepared and safe! Dresses with trains are not recommended due to safety reasons.

Can I bring extra people? (+1)

No +1's sorry!

Although we would love to accommodate more people, our venue is on the smaller side so we are limiting the amount of people. But, if you are unsure you can ask us! :)

Alcohol

We will not be serving any alcohol at the park, so you would need to bring your own alcohol if you want to drink earlier, or do your own tailgate as you please.

But drink responsibly if you are driving!


We will have a full open bar during the reception.
