It means that we want you to be comfortable and casual - it is Santa Barbara after all! No cocktail attire or formalwear (no suits, no ties). Please look up "resort casual" on Google Images for inspiration, if needed.
Which airport should I fly into?
The closest airport is the Santa Barbara Airport (~15 minute drive to the Santa Barbara Courthouse). That being said, the Santa Barbara Airport is small, so you may find more suitable flight options if you fly into the Burbank Airport (~1.5 hour drive) or the Los Angeles International Airport (~1.75 hour drive).
Will there be a hotel block for the wedding?
No. We suggest staying at one of the many inns or hotels in (or around) downtown Santa Barbara to be close to the festivities.
Will transportation be provided to/from the festivities?
No.
Where should I park my car?
There are several paid parking lots throughout downtown Santa Barbara that are within walking distance from the festivities: https://santabarbaraca.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/DTParking%20Map_July%202023.pdf. The first 75 minutes are free, and then each additional hours costs $3.
If you do not park in one of the lots, then you will need to find street parking nearby.
How far is La Paloma Cafe from the Courthouse?
According to Google Maps, it is a 9 minute walk or a 2 minute drive. We plan to walk from the Courthouse to La Paloma Cafe.
Should I bring gifts? Do you have a gift registry?
No. We recognize that you are making a significant effort to celebrate our big day with us, and that is the best gift we could ever ask for.
Is this for adults only?
Yes. We are asking that you please leave your children at home unless we have indicated otherwise. We want this to be an adults-only celebration and hope that you can respect our wishes.
Can I bring a plus one?
No, unless we have expressly invited your plus one.
