Another SB landmark and popular wedding ceremony location is the SB Courthouse. Nestled downtown, the beautiful example of Spanish architecture greets everyone with a sense of calm. It has taken me 7 years of living in SB to visit this gem, and now I understand why couples love to get married here. On a relatively busy palm tree lined street, the Courthouse stands. Bell tower, fountain, and arch face the street. People walk back and forth conducting business and tourists take photos. Then you walk through the archway and into the lush lawns and Sunken Gardens. It is like a retreat away from all of the hustle and bustle. There are people around but the grounds are so expansive that you can find your own peace.
The Sunken Gardens are through the front archway.
Ceremonies can take place in the Sunken Gardens, mural room, and even the bell tower. The Sunken Gardens being possible the most popular due to the outdoors, greenery and sublime feel.
The lawns extend so far and are so soft to walk on and green. I like the various levels.
Courthouses usually aren't so pretty. 
There is no main contact person for the Courthouse, but here are some sites with information.Courthouse Official Site

I really like this place and will consider it as a possible location.
