Elings Park features two scenic and peaceful event spaces to host wedding celebrations. Both Godric Grove and Singleton Pavilion have stunning sunsets, mountain views, and the ocean within sight. Godric Grove is a large and estate-like area overlooking the rest of the park, with amazing views of the mountains and city, as well as a glimpse of the ocean. A stone amphitheater makes a marvelous setting for an outdoor wedding, with an adjacent shaded wood deck and lush grass, gardens, and Liquidamber trees. In the Spring and Summer, gorgeous Matilija poppies bloom, adding even more beauty to this space. A sizeable serving area, room for a canopy, and a private parking lot make planning more convenient. Alternatively, Singleton Pavilion is a large and scenic grass area. A welcoming gazebo stands on a flagstone patio with a tree-dotted stone terrace and a built-in bench. Both of these event spaces can host events for up to 200 people.

Elings Park was the PERFECT place for our wedding

We got married at Godric Grove mid October and it was absolutely perfect.

Staff: Denise and the Elings Park crew were phenomenal. They were quick to respond to our many many questions and helped us work through several random challenges in the days leading up to our big day! They were overwhelmingly nice as we worked with them to dream up what our wedding would look like. They also provided us with a list of recommended vendors - which we ended up using for our lighting and DJ (shoutout to the AMS team). The Elings park crew cleaned up the entire space before our vendors arrived and we could tell that they really cared about us having an excellent day and that everything was set up nicely.

Venue: It is a magical place. We got so many compliments from our wedding guests asking us how we found this hidden gem in Santa Barbara (from locals nonetheless!). We used the amphitheater for our ceremony, the grass field for happy hour & dancing (we rented a dance floor & cocktail tables), and the deck for our dinner & speeches. We loved that this was a one stop shop for our whole wedding. The views of the ocean, the santa barbara hillside and the ambiance of the oak trees are highlights of this place.

Things you should know: As is the case in all of SB, the noise ordinance requires parties to be over by 10pm! It should be obvious, but it's worth mentioning that you will have to pay vendors to bring in everything for the wedding (tables, chairs, dance floor, lighting, speakers, etc etc). We had 150 guests at our wedding, so we opted to rent an restroom trailer from marborg as an additional option for our guests beyond the available restrooms. Also, a hot tip for folks planning an event here, we used Bill's Bus to get all our guests downtown at the end of our wedding and it really kept the momentum of our party alive (and minimized the chaos of everybody ubering at once).

All this to say, 10/10 we would 100% get married here again in a heartbeat. Elings Park is stunning. The staff are amazing. We are so thankful to have it forever be a part of our story.

We chose Godric Grove at Elings Park after visiting seven or eight popular Santa Barbara/Montecito wedding venues and it was by far our favorite venue. Elings is such a naturally beautiful park. It is really set up for events and if you’re imagining an outdoor wedding – this is the place for you. For one thing, Santa Barbra generally has phenomenal weather, which Elings really allows you to take advantage of, and for another Elings has the best views of Santa Barbara’s natural beauty that you could ever imagine. On one side you have the ocean and the city and on the other the mountains. In all the venues we visited we did not find a single other one that so classically captured what makes Santa Barbara such an idyllic place to get married. Working with the Elings staff was also very simple. You pay the balance in full to secure your wedding day and then you’re largely done. There is an amphitheater that many couples use for their ceremony and the actual grove is great for cocktail hour, while we used the deck for dinner. It’s really a great venue that maximizes space and allows you to have your guests flow around while staying centralized. The park also has great restroom facilities which means you don’t have to deal with porta-potties like some outdoor venues. One of the great things about Elings is that you also get the venue for the whole day once you rent it so you really can get your money’s worth by having your whole wedding at this one beautiful location. Overall I would say having an outdoor wedding here was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, it really made the day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
