From ceremony to reception (and parking)
In general, the reception is two blocks west and four blocks south of the ceremony. Parking is a bit of a problem at the reception site, you will have two options, street parking along Anapamu St in front of the Cafe or in the lot at the corner of Anacapa St. and Anapamu St. However, it gets more complicated. There is no entry to the lot from Anapamu St., the only entrance is from Anacapa st, which is one way to the south. Parking is free on the street all day, in the lot it is 90 minutes free, $1.00 per hour after that.

If parked along Garden:

Four blocks straight ahead to Anapamu St.
Make a right on Anapamu two blocks.
Park along either side of the street or make a circle around via State St and enter the parking lot along Anacapa St.

If parked along Arrellaga:

Two blocks west to Anacapa, make a left.
Four blocks and make a right on Anacapa
OR, park in the lot on the left hand side

Hotels Information

Hotels are a bit of a problem for Saturday night, there is a soccer tournament in town and SB hoteliers charge exorbitant rates! This is only a problem for Saturday night, Sunday there are a lot of rooms available and at rates less than Half of the Friday/Saturday rates. Your best bet for an inexpensive Saturday night stay would be to lodge in one of the outlying communities such as Ventura or Oxnard to the south, or Buellton or Santa Maria to the north. It would also be worth trying carpenteria which is close by and often has rooms at much cheaper rates than Goleta or Santa Barbara.

IF you are having trouble finding a place to stay, we have had reports of available rooms at the Sandpiper Inn. Also try calling HotSpots USA at 800.793.7666 and ask about reservations in Santa Barbara, CA. Hours are 10-10 weekdays, closed Sunday and short hours Sat night.
