The Carousel House is one of Santa Barbara’s newest rental facilities with an amazing beachfront view. The gorgeous white structure is located on the western end of scenic Chase Palm Park and was formerly the home of a carousel for 20 years. It has now been converted into an open space with both indoor and outdoor venue options for events of all kinds—including weddings.

Inside the Carousel House itself gives off a greenhouse-like industrial feel. Tall windows span each side and are able to be raised allowing for plenty of fresh air and natural light. On the outside, tall palm trees surround the building. Plus, the Plaza lawn is included with the house’s rental and features an eye-catching planted fountain perfect for a ceremony backdrop. The venue is perfect for an intimate affair with a capacity in the Carousel House of 150-180 seated and 240 cocktail-style.
