Wedding Room Blocks in Santa Barbara

A wedding room block at Kimpton Canary Hotel reserves a set of guest rooms for your wedding guests in advance. Guests book within the block using your group link or code, receive your negotiated rate, and stay together in Santa Barbara throughout the celebration. Our group sales team sets up the block and manages the details for you.

A room block keeps friends and family together under one roof, simplifies travel planning, and gives guests access to a preferred group rate. It also puts everyone steps from State Street shopping, dining and the Santa Barbara waterfront — and just an elevator ride from your wedding events at Kimpton Canary.

It depends on your guest count, how many are traveling from out of town, and your wedding dates. Most couples start with rooms for roughly a third of their invited guests. There is minimum number of rooms required which can vary. Our Santa Barbara group sales team can help you right-size the block based on your guest list and season.
