We can't wait to celebrate with you in the place where it all began! The Bride and Groom met for the first time in Santa Barbara back in 2021.
As you are deciding where to stay, there are a few helpful points to note.
On wedding day, there will be 1 location for guest pickup to transport all guests to the wedding venue. You are not able to drive or uber onto the property.
We will arrange for a pick up at The Leta Hotel located in Goleta (10 minutes north of Santa Barbara). We recommend staying at the Leta or ubering to the hotel for pick up. The buses home from the wedding at the end of the night will have drop offs back to The Leta Hotel or an option for a downtown drop off for guests who want to continue the party!
Please see below for a few hotel recommendations!
