Cabrillo Pavilion

We were there for a wedding reception. It's a very nice venue and location. And we got to see fireworks on the 4th.

If you're in Santa Barbara and near cabrillo call and check out the caprio pavilion while it has no services here it is simply a pavilion that is designed to sit or stand at, unfortunately Santa Barbara has a law against sitting or laying so you probably don't want to sit here or risk a ticket. It's probably best to just stand here or walk here. Again this is the cabrillo pavilion and well designed for sitting it is against the law to sit in Santa Barbara at the Santa Barbara cabrillo pavilion

The appetizers are very good and so is the selection on cocktails. Also the view of the ocean is just fantastic and a very relaxing atmosphere.

Cabrillo pavilion has been has been reconstructed into a pleasant architectural enhancement it also is a place that you can go work out in a gym take showers and enjoy the beach front with all its visitors and fun things to do.. .juan

Since i was a little girl it was my dream to get married on the beach, but since i live in the desert when the time finally came for me to plan my wedding i had to travel and look around. when i found the Cabrillo art pavilion it was like a dream come true. the location was perfect! the people seemed very nice and helpful. during the year and a half i planned the wedding i made 3 trips down to the location to meet face to face with the planner to ensure we were on the same page with everything i wanted...... so here’s where the problems came in. during one of the meetings with the planner i was informed there would be a $300 permit fee to book the beach for me for the day. That included a staffed member holding the beach area (where ever i wanted it) and to ensure the beach was clean before the wedding. NO PROBLEM! i thought that was wonderful....skipping ahead i received an email 3 DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING informing me i still owed another $857 on top of the $300 i had already paid for the beach. after many phone calls it turns out the $300 was only a DEPOSIT and for them to hold the beach for me i would have to pay at least another $450. they had quoted me the $857 because they ASSUMED i wanted an archway, chairs, and more employees to help. all of which was never mentioned in my contract. (yes i did check twice after this email) once again skipping ahead to my wedding day it was about 45 mins before i was to say "i do" and the beach was packed full of swimmers and trash was everywhere, when i asked the employee working "my event" that day what had happened, she informed me she had no idea of the beach needing to be cleared, no one had told her anything. she then locked herself in the room for the next 30 mins leaving my GUESTS to clear the beach..... so yes, i did pay $750 extra for NOTHING!!!!! moving along to problem number two there is no air conditioner at all in this building, which would have been helpful if they had told me that so we could have provided fans. instead i ended up sweating off all my make-up and hair, yes my pictures were ruined!!!! and the cherry on the topper. as it was getting later in the night our wedding party told us that we needed to head out and enjoy our night, they would clean and take care of everything. (as is usual in weddings) my husband and i were stopped from leaving by the pavilion employee who told us we could not leave until everyone else left. if we left the whole party had to be gone. she then proceeded to rush us and tell us to hurry and clean faster so she could leave. we were out of there by 9:00pm even though i had PAID EXTRA TO HAVE THE HALL UNTIL 11PM!!! needless to say the extra money i paid for the beach (as well as the deposit) and the extra i paid to have the hall later even though the employee forced us out was NEVER REFUNDED!!!!! I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH!!! DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE! THEY ARE ONLY OUT FOR YOUR MONEY AND THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER HOWEVER THEY CAN!
