Travel Note
We have arranged for trolleys to help transport guests to and from the venue. Before the ceremony, the trolley will pick up from the Montecito Inn and bring guests to the Rosewood Miramar Beach. The trolley pick up times are 2pm and 2:20pm at the Montecito Inn. The shuttles will also help bring guests back at the end of the night with continuous service between the Montecito Inn and the Rosewood Miramar Beach from 10pm to midnight. At the very end of the night, the trolly will also make one drop off at the Kimpton Canary hotel in downtown Santa Barbara.

For most guests located in California, the best way to access Santa Barbara is to drive. Typically, Santa Barbara is a 4-6 hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area, a 2-3 hour drive from Los Angeles, and a 3-4 hour drive from San Diego. If you are driving from Northern California, we recommend arriving in Santa Barbara the day before the wedding on Thursday, 11/2.
