Where should I book a hotel?
We have listed several hotel options in and around the downtown Santa Barbara area here. For more affordable options, consider neighboring areas such as:
Solvang (40 minutes from SB)
Buellton (40 minutes from SB)
Goleta (15 minutes from SB)
Carpinteria (15 minutes from SB)
We will be having an open bar so the only cash you'll need is if you'd like to tip our lovely bartenders.
Do I need to bring cash for drinks?
October in Santa Barbara is typical coastal temperate weather. You can expect highs of 75º and lows of 60º at night; however, our venue for the reception is outdoor so bring layers so you can be comfortable.
