The breathtaking scenery and comfortable Mediterranean climate make the City of Santa Barbara an ideal place to celebrate your wedding. If you are a picnic lover, share your love for picnics with your guests with a romantic wedding ceremony in Santa Barbara’s best picnic spot – La Mesa Park. The park is a hidden gem tucked away just above Shoreline Drive. La Mesa provides your ceremony with a dreamy park setting complete with an expansive green lawn, an abundance of shade, a magnificent ocean view and a gentle ocean breeze to match. Have guests sit in a semi-circle as you make public declarations of love amidst towering trees, and with blue ocean views as the backdrop. After your ceremony, pose for your formal wedding portraits on the park’s pedestrian bridge; the stunning views from the bridge are sure to enhance the memories of your special day.
