I have had a hard couple of years and this church has been a haven of safety and refreshment for me. My truest gratitude! Another thing I like about this church is it focus on the main thing, and doesn't get distracted with issues not central to faith that tend to divide people! Nobody will judge you if you're a Democrat or a Republican or not political. I think this church is an extremely healthy and safe place. It is also fairly lighthearted and very joyful.

Pass security and bam, best Mercado every Fiestas!…read more The go-to items include elote (roasted corn), tamales (chicken or pork), Agra frescas (pineapple or strawberry are my fav), and pasole (awesome soup). With games and entertainment, plus alcohol for those who wish to partake, this Mercado is by far the best food and atmosphere. Plus, it benefits a local organization immensely and isn't full of just visitors. After a nice meal, head to the Courthouse for an evening of dancing under the stars!

Guadalupe church is way off the beaten path but it's no longer a secret location during Fiesta's…read more This is the place you want to come to for good authentic Mexican food. It opens the week of Fiesta's on Friday at noon, and it lasts through Sunday. They have the most authentic food and the most popular choices among customers are the tamales and posole. I've tried the taquitos, flautas, roasted corn, and tri-tip sandwiches. They are all delicious!! They don't allow you to bring in confetti eggs so leave those in your car or you will be asked to dispose of them. C'mon now is it that serious? They are just eggs! Parking is kind of hectic to find since you have to park in the neighborhoods surrounding the church so come with patience.

Metaphysical spirituality for healers. Gorgeous historical church in the heart of Santa Barbara. If…read moreyou don't know who Mary Baker Eddy is, and you're a healer check this out. This Science is not to be confused with Scientology. Much New Age thought, Science of Mind, even Yogic Science were created in the 1900s borrowing parts of Eddy's 1800s Biblical teachings but downplaying the Christ Consciousness. The church is a quiet place and has a consistent totally positive spiritual approach based on a Truth that is ageless.

The event staff were incredibly helpful and attentive to our needs from start to finish. The kitchen facility exceeded our expectations--beautifully maintained, well-stocked, and spotlessly clean. Creating our Whimsical Spring forward grazing table in such a well-designed space was a true pleasure. If you're planning a wedding or social celebration, we highly recommend Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church. The venue, facilities, and warm, supportive team make it an ideal choice for your special event.

The larger indoor area would work well for a reception, and even a wedding, although one of my absolute favorite parts of this venue is the gorgeous little zen garden, which would be my ideal spot for a ceremony. It's just a short walk down the hill and you're rewarded with a peaceful little oasis. Such a cool venue, had no idea it was there and hope to be able to be back to enjoy the venue again one day!
