Santa Barbara & the Central Coast, California

Transportation

In Santa Barbara & the Central Coast: This category does more work here than it does in a compact market. Guests are staying in one town and marrying in another, roads inland and along the coast are narrow and unlit after dark, and a generous bar at a rural site becomes a driving problem unless you have solved it in advance. A shuttle from the hotel block is the usual answer and it earns the line. Expect $700 to $3,500. Ask whether you are billed from the operator yard or from your first pickup, because over these distances that difference is substantial rather than notional. Confirm headcount, route, staging area, waiting time and gratuity in writing, and ask what happens if the ceremony runs long, since a driver's hours are not infinitely elastic.
