SBA
Santa Barbara Airport is about a 15 minute drive from the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. Flights have become more reasonable into and out of this airport. Southwest has a few nonstops from the bay area!
There is a free shuttle from the airport to the Hilton but you have to reserve on this website and need at least 24 hrs notice
Santa Barbara is a 4-5 hour drive from the Bay Area and a 1.5-3 hr drive from LA/OC. This may be the best option for some guests. Parking at the Hilton for the wedding is complimentary, however there is an overnight parking fee if you plan on parking your car in their lot overnight.
If you are bringing your children to SB for the weekend and need recommendations for childcare during the wedding, these are some companies recommended by the Hilton and our wedding planner.
