Gaviota Location: Arroyo Hondo

Called the “Jewel of the Gaviota Coast,” Arroyo Hondo is a beautiful nature preserve, with limited events held each year. There are several locations to choose from for the reception and ceremony site, from the rustic barn area to the sweeping meadow which is a short car ride away.

The verdant meadow is on a slight incline and has a breath taking view of the mountains.

Overall, the location is absolutely stunning and shows the visitor what Santa Barbara must have looked like 100 years ago. For the adventurous, out-doorsy couple who loves nature this location would be a great choice.

Some notes:

  • Holds less than 8 weddings a year.
  • Music can go until 12am.
  • Candles can be used if they are in glass containers & are not placed on the ground.
  • Everything would need to be brought in, including a kitchen, lights, tables, chairs, linens, etc.
  • Shuttles would need to brought in for transport throughout the location.
  • Renting bathrooms is recommended; a few porta potties are available.
  • A generator is recommended as electricity is limited.
  • Bridal dressing area is available in a historic cabin built in the late 19th century.
