Nope! When you arrive, you'll check in at the gate to the right of the main entrance and be directed to the Hilltop Lawn, where our wedding festivities will take place.

Our guests can enter the zoo any time after 4:00pm. Our ceremony will start promptly at 5:00pm, and we encourage you to arrive early to enjoy the beautiful, 360-degree view of Santa Barbara and find a seat.

Yes, all events will be held outdoors! September in Santa Barbara is pretty ideal: warm, sunny days and cooler nights. Bring a light jacket if you think you will get chilly!

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time so you can celebrate with us. If you're looking for local childcare, Beach Baby Nannies (beachbabynannies.com) and Wedding Sitter (weddingsitter.com) offer professional babysitting services.

Cocktail attire. We suggest that men wear a suit or dress shirt with tie and women a cocktail dress. Ladies, please note that all events will take place on grass so we encourage wearing block heels or flats.
