Travel & Accommodations
Let's get ya there!
We arranged shuttle transportation for the Big Day so you don't have to worry about getting tipsy:
3:05pm pick up from both the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott and the Skyview Los Alamos.
Return shuttles will start at 10PM and run through 1:30AM. The drivers can take you back to these hotels, or anywhere else within 20 minutes from the Fess Parker Inn.
New Years is one of the busiest times to travel, so we encourage our guests to book early!
The Fess Parker Wine Country Inn
This is where the wedding ceremony and reception will be held. The Fess is a beautiful 19-room Inn that will be fully dedicated to us! It's located in the center of charming Los Olivos and each room has its own cozy fireplace.
How to book: Call the Inn at (805) 688 7788, ask for Austyn or Jim and reference the Spellacy / Derwin wedding block. Our special rates will be available until October 1, 2019.
The Skyview Los Alamos
The Skyview is a boutique "motel" located approx. 10 minutes away from the wedding venue in the old western town of Los Alamos. We will host our welcome party here Monday night.
We hope that the majority of our guests who do not choose to stay at the Fess book the Skyview because we LOVE IT so much! Seriously, this place is what midcentury modern dreams are made of.
How to book: You may book online at the website below with reservation code JOLIEWILLSAYIDO, make sure to select "group attendee" from the dropdown menu as it defaults to "discount code". Or call the hotel at (805) 344 0104 and reference the Spellacy / Derwin wedding block. Our special rates will be available until October 1, 2019.
Santa Ynez Valley Marriott
The Santa Ynez Valley Marriott is located in Buellton about 10 minutes from the Fess. It was recently upgraded and has everything you need to be comfortable!
How to book: You may book online using this Wedding Reservation Block link. Our special rates will be available until November 15, 2019.
Los Angeles Airport (LAX)
You will likely be able to fly into LAX directly. Los Olivos is located 130 miles north of LAX, which is a 2.5 - 4.5 hour drive depending on traffic.
Santa Barbara Airport (SBA)
There is a smaller airport near Santa Barbara with limited flight options. The Santa Ynez Valley is about 45 min northeast of Santa Barbara Airport.
How to get here by car
The drive up to Los Olivos from LA is approx. 3 hours and is a gorgeous ride. The most direct route to the Santa Ynez Valley is the 405 North to the 101 North to Santa Barbara, and then over the mountains to the wine country.
If you aren't in a hurry, you might consider taking PCH through Malibu as a more scenic alternative to the 405. Taking the coastline route will add 45-90 minutes to the drive.
