Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Jose & Nora

We're so excited to share a few of our favorite places in the area with you!

A beautiful stretch of sandy beach. Awesome views and a beautiful area!

Beach Walks on Butterfly Beach

Wonderful short walk along the bluffs and among the eucalyptus.

Douglas Family Preserve Walking Trail

Great breakfast spot with good vegetarian options. Nice outdoor seating. Parking may be limited. There is an alternate location located further up State St, which is another great spot!

Daily Grind

Nora's favorite restaurant! Definitely recommend the ahi burger and the cauliflower tacos! The avocado honey ale is a 10/10.

Finney's Crafthouse - Santa Barbara

A staple for Jose and Nora! Definitely a must eat and a great veggie ramen option!

Santa Barbara Craft Ramen

Our favorite get together spot! Perfect downtown spot for cheap but delicious beers by the fire pits. If you're in town early, come grab a beer with us here Friday evening before the wedding!

Institution Ale Co.

Breweries, tasting rooms, and bars! Oh my!
Such a cool spot to explore. Pop into a brewery for some beers, scope out some live music, or just enjoy your evening people watching!

The Funk Zone

Imagine Seattle's Pike Place Market on a Santa Barbara scale. All kinds of foods, desserts, and a beer garden all in one central location. Free parking located under the market or use the paid parking lot behind it.

Santa Barbara Public Market

#1 best poke bowls in town!! And yes, Jose did bring a cooler bag of poke back up north for Nora on one of his visits to SB. We are loyal!

Choppa Poke

The "Main Street" of Santa Barbara running directly up from Stearns Wharf. Take a stroll around town!

State Street Promenade

This is where we first met! Great place for ocean loving kids or kids at heart! See if you can spot our favorite little marine snails! #TeamWhiteAbalone

Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center

The partner museum to where Jose and I used to work and first met. This museum not only has great local exhibits, but the outdoor backyard space is gorgeous with Mission Creek running straight through.

Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History

Awesome zoo! Bet you'll never find another giraffe with an ocean view!

Santa Barbara Zoo

It's a climb to the top, but the 360 views are worth it! Check ahead for open hours.

Santa Barbara Courthouse and Bell Tower

Santa Barbara Mission and Rose Garden

Awesome art vendors selling their work along Cabrillo Blvd every Sunday starting at 10am.
