Santa Barbara has its own airport (SBA), although it is quite small, it is very convenient. It has a few options of flights a day, so look into using this airport. Another good option would be to fly into the Hollywood Burbank - Bob Hope Airport (BUR). This airport is about an hour away from Santa Barbara, and Amtrack has a stop that will take you directly to Santa Barbara on the train. It is quite comfortable and affordable and the train station is less than a mile from our wedding venue. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is located about an hour and a half to two hours away from Santa Barbara. This is the biggest airport, with the most flight options, but might not be the most convenient due to the LA area traffic, and distance to the hotel.
Do I need to rent a car?
Renting a car can be a great option for guests who want to explore the LA/Ventura area while in town. Although it may be nice to drive around the area, it is not necessary for you to rent one while here. Uber/Lyft is everywhere in this area. Please feel free to use the ride share apps, as it is another way to get around town!
How walkable is everything to the hotel?
The Kimpton Canary Hotel is located right off of State Street. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and bars. It is also a beautiful walk down to the Santa Barbara pier (Stearns Wharf).
Where will the wedding be located?
The wedding will solely take place at the Kimpton Canary Hotel and will be entirely outdoors. Even though we are in California, when the sun goes down, it may get chilly. There will be many heaters around the venue, but please dress accordingly.
