Balancing beautiful architecture from the 1920s with modern interiors, Drift Santa Barbara offers a variety of rooms and spaces ideal for hosting wedding guests and events. The Drift Galeria, with its locally designed, flexible indoor-outdoor spaces, embraces Santa Barbara’s 300 days of sunshine, accommodating parties up to 200 people. For more intimate gatherings, Dawn and Dusk, a dual coffee and craft cocktail bar, hosts up to 67 guests, perfect for rehearsal dinners or celebratory drinks. After the main event, couples can enjoy an early honeymoon in the Drift Penthouse, featuring a king-sized bed, living room, private balcony, and lounge area with a fire pit to take in the stunning city views and experience effortless luxury. To unwind during the wedding weekend, couples and guests can participate in the 60-minute Soulful Saturday Yoga at the Galeria or attend a monthly Dusk101 class, tasting a variety of specialty tequilas and bites. Additionally, guests can explore nearby State Street, where they’ll find numerous restaurants, farmer’s markets, and the Granada Theatre, all without the hassle of car traffic.
