Santa Barbara, California - The American Riveria
Our family welcomes all of you to a beautiful city amidst a coastline rich in history, art and culture.
When planning your trip to SB, keep in mind it is our summertime, the busiest time of year. That said, it is imperative that you book your accommodation ASAP even if you are not sure you will be attending the wedding. SB will fill up well before the summer hits and I wouldn't want anyone to have to stay out of town. Please use the information below to plan your weekend or WEEK in beautiful Southern California! |

- ACCOMMODATION & FLIGHTS - As you will see below, hotels are rather expensive during the summer months and many hotels require a 2 night minimum. I hope you can stay Friday and Saturday night if not longer!!
Start planning your vacation TODAY!
**FYI: Hotels in SB fill up sometimes a year in advance.
If you think you are coming, reserve ASAP** |

Attire- In dress, as in most other respects, Santa Barbara style is comfortable and casual, though evening wear may be dressier in some places. Throughout the county, you’ll be most comfortable if you layer your clothing. Early mornings, evenings, and nights may be cool enough for a sweater, but daytime temperatures in the seaside areas and the drier, hotter wine country and valley regions are comfortable enough for short sleeves.
