Everyone at Live Oak made it easy for us to achieve the wedding setup we envisioned. From showing us photos of the space with others' decor, to sending us links with suggestions, coming to the venue to help us plan at times that worked for us, working with us to create a checklist and timeline, and showing up early/ staying late to clean up, we felt that the people at Live Oak really wanted to help us achieve the wedding that worked for us. On the day of the wedding, it was nice to have the Cottage as a room to prep and primp, and I was able to see the arriving guests while staying unseen. We also stored flowers in the kitchen fridge, which helped keep them fresh. Overall, we were consulted as to our wishes prior to the event, then during the actual wedding, things that needed to be done "behind the scenes" were taken care of, which left us able to focus on our guests and each other.

My husband and I met Sarah in 2021 for our engagement shoot. We were blow away with the quality of photos she delivered. Sarah has a natural gift for capturing each couples true selves. In each photo Sarah took of us our personalities were able to shine because she made us feel comfortable. We had so much fun on our shoot that we flew Sarah out to FL to capture our wedding day. Once again Sarah did not disappoint! We absolutely love our wedding gallery. I was impressed that Sarah was able to acclimate to weather restrictions and a change of plans last minute. Sarah is so talented and so lovely to be around. We would highly recommended her !

Working with Effortless Events by Randy was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, Randy's friendly and timely communication put me completely at ease, and he seemed to know what we needed before we even asked. On the day of our wedding, he took care of literally everything, which allowed us to actually enjoy our celebration instead of worrying about logistics. His attentive approach kept us feeling calm throughout the entire day, and the quality of his work was simply fantastic. We absolutely loved working with Randy and honestly wish we had used him for longer than just the day-of coordination. We can't recommend him enough to other couples planning their weddings.

At Hovey Films, we specialize in luxury wedding videography rooted in emotional storytelling, fine-art visuals, and timeless craftsmanship. Based in Santa Barbara, we create cinematic wedding films that capture not just events, but the intimate essence of your celebration. With an editorial eye and a documentary-style approach, each heirloom-quality film honors your love story and legacy. Our work is guided by a commitment to quality, designed to preserve your most meaningful moments — not just for today, but for generations to come.

I have been married for over 51 years and at that time we didn't have any high quality video services available. I looked a the Hoveyfilms.com site with fresh eyes to see what is available now as my grandkids are getting married. The first thing that caught my eye on the Hovey Films web site was the Wedding Package Finder link. I enjoyed going through the questions that were well thought out and educational. They uncovered aspects of the wedding day that I would not have considered including in my video. Now, if I had it to do over again I would want to capture an exciting new look and feel that I know Jesse Hovey can produce.

We had such a beautiful wedding at Glen Annie Golf Club. From our tour over a year ago in February to our tasting this past May and our wedding this August, the venue was beautiful in every season. The location was great for access to hotels, restaurants, and stores for anything you might need on your wedding weekend. It is also located near an Amtrak stop and the local airport which was a great help for out of town guests. Kendel & Silkia along with the staff at our wedding were extremely helpful and guided us through this process. Their day of coordination was especially great. Without a wedding planner I was worried we'd be thinking too much about timeline or other details during the wedding, but it was easy to trust that the venue along with our vendors were handling the management of the event and we could just enjoy the moment.

We recently had the most magical wedding at The Genevieve in Santa Ynez, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our special day. Our ceremony took place in the enchanting garden, surrounded by lush greenery and the sweet scent of flowers. The setting was absolutely idyllic, and our guests were in awe of the beauty that surrounded us. Pam Roberts was an absolute dream to work with. Her kindness and warmth made the entire planning process seamless, and her flexibility ensured that every detail was perfect from beginning to end. Pam's genuine soul truly shines through, and we couldn't imagine anyone better to oversee our dream venue. Following the ceremony, we enjoyed a delightful happy hour on the Lawn, where our guests mingled and enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvres. The atmosphere was lively and joyful, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. For dinner, we moved to the private and intimate Coach Room, where the ambiance was cozy and romantic. The venue's character added a unique touch to our celebration, making it truly unforgettable. And let's talk about the food - it was absolutely divine! Nothing like any wedding meal we've had before. The culinary team at The Genevieve surpassed expectations. Not only is The Genevieve a fabulous and unique venue, but the entire experience was elevated by the exceptional service and attention to detail provided by the staff. From the premium beverage service to the spacious lawn with firepits, every aspect of our wedding was flawlessly executed. We also opted for a wedding experience, turning The Genevieve into our own private paradise for the weekend. The luxurious accommodations and amenities provided the perfect backdrop for pre-wedding pampering and post-reception relaxation. Overall, our wedding at The Genevieve exceeded all of our expectations.

The 1880 Union Hotel is a truly exceptional wedding venue. Their communication style is personable, tailored, and efficient - they make you feel welcomed and valued throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and the value they provide is simply exquisite. They have a unique and beautiful approach, always going above and beyond to customize the experience for each couple. For example, they accommodated our request to have the rental load-in at 8am the day before, even though it was outside their normal schedule. There were also no unexpected fees, and the chef even came in early to monitor the process. This team clearly prioritizes ease and reducing stress for the couple, which is not the case everywhere. In another case, when the linens weren't picked up from the rental company and I, as the planner, was already home from the wedding, being days later -- they handled before I even know, but they took these large linen duffel bags into UPS without hesitation. The team as a whole understands hospitality and how important it is to keep things calm, cool, and collected - they've mastered that. Additionally, the customization of the menu was fantastic. During our tasting, we had one-on-one time with the chef to discuss our preferences, dislikes, and dream wishes for the cuisine - and they made it all happen seamlessly. We highly recommend the 1880 Union Hotel for their personable service, exquisite quality, and commitment to making your wedding day truly special.

DJ Jas is an amazinggggg DJ. Not only is the skill and talent present, Justin is also extremely good at communicating, accommodation and making sure the client is getting what they hope for. His mixes are amazing and he knows exactly which song flows into the next. My wedding was full of musician guests and the amount of people (musicians and not) that came up to me saying this was the best DJ really tells you something. My sister has an upcoming wedding next year and I already recommended him as she loved the music and good times at mine. He really got the crowd excited and followed cue lines to introduce different events happening that night. He was extremely professional and on top of it. Any event that is in need of DJ/music I would recommend DJ Jas 100%

We had a great experience working with DJ Joe and cannot recommend his services enough! From the very beginning we got great vibes from Joe and did not feel embarrassed to tell him about some of our silly music choices. Joe kept the dance floor alive all night and was professional and quick when it came to answering any questions we had throughout the process. He was able to help my husband set up and sound check for a surprise live music performance he gave for the reception and was able to keep it a surprise for me as well. Joe also was very prepared for working with our videographers and offered to set up a tripod for my maid of honor who ended up not being able to make it so we could FaceTime her. Thanks so much for everything Joe!

If I had one piece of advice for every bride getting married at the Madonna Inn, it would be to hire Krissy. Her and her team were able to expertly execute my day and we’re outstanding partners throughout the entire planning process. They helped me get tire grease out of my dress, they made sure that my fiancé showed up to the ceremony on time, and they expertly handled multiple family members in our processional. They are able to make outstanding recommendations for any and all vendors that you’re looking for, and they even do their own floral arranging if that’s something you’re interested in.

She’s so down-to-earth and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. During our engagement shoot, she guided us effortlessly, showing us how to pose in a way that felt natural and comfortable. We're both not usually in front of the camera so I worried that it would be hard but with Leslie, we felt so confident, had an amazing time and the pictures she captured were absolutely stunning! Everything about working with her, from her easy-to-use portal to her beautifully designed website, was seamless. She is not only an amazing photographer but also such a kind and loving person.

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

It’s always a pleasure to officiate weddings at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara. I love this venue because it is a gem architecturally and spiritually. As a historical landmark, it offers a timeless and elegant setting that feels both sacred and welcoming to all. Working with Joanie, the Wedding and Events Manager, is an absolute joy. She’s incredibly organized, kind, and ensures everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Whether it's a micro or a large formal wedding, this space accommodates it beautifully. One of the standout features is the 100-year-old organ, which can be included in the ceremony for a truly grand and memorable touch.

Incredibly professional, talented, and diligent, Lerina perfectly captured our special day. She worked with us ahead of time to develop our shot list, but nothing felt forced or like we had to spend oodles of time away from our guests. Loved that the package we got also came with an engagement session. I will look back on these photos for the rest of my life with joy.

Our experience with Sacred & Unique Wedding Ceremonies (Dani) was excellent. The officiant had a peaceful, succinct and clear communication style that put us at ease throughout the planning process. Dani provided exceptional value, were highly supportive and extremely organized. On the day of our wedding, they arrived early and were even available to take a few calls after the ceremony to ensure everything went smoothly. We are so grateful for their professionalism and dedication in making our special day truly memorable. She even went out of her way to share a custom Star Trek reading that was just “us”!

From special occasions to productions; private photo shoots to editorials; everyday people to celebrities, it means the world to me when you choose my services. I have become a passionate artist who is not just continuously inspired by new techniques and trends but also my clients. I am humbled and grateful to provide hair and makeup services for weddings, special occasions, and productions over the years. It's now your turn to show your own beauty.

I cannot recommend Belle enough! I reached out on very short notice, and she was incredibly accommodating. From the start, she really listened to my concerns and offered expert advice that made a huge difference. The final look was exactly what I wanted—it lasted all day/night and made me feel so confident. If you want someone who truly cares about the details, book her!

My goal is to make you feel confident and beautiful on your most unforgettable days.

Velo Beauty exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Diana listens carefully to what her clients want and has an incredible gift for enhancing natural beauty rather than masking it. Her consultation process is thorough and intentional, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the details—she even prepared a touch-up kit for us to keep throughout the day so we felt confident and looked stunning from ceremony to reception. Communication with Diana was swift and informative every step of the way, and her makeup held up flawlessly despite all the emotions and dancing. If you're looking for a makeup artist who combines professionalism with a sweet demeanor, Velo Beauty is absolutely worth booking.

Leah helped make our wedding the best day of our life. From the beginning, Leah was easy to work with, she listened closely to what we envisioned for our wedding and was able to provide us with creative ideas when we needed some help or felt overwhelmed. Leah's photography skills were superb and she provided us with so many beautiful pictures of us, our friends, venues, and so much more. Her turnaround time on getting us the photos was so quick too! Not only did she provide great photos, but she assisted as our "day-of-coordinator." Leah eased our fears so many times leading up to the wedding, she was easy to get a hold of or would reach out to us to make sure our wedding was coming together, and helped us communicate with some our other vendors when we needed an extra hand. Leah was the MVP of our wedding! You NEED her to be your photographer and she is worth every penny to be your day-of-coordinator too. We will be using Leah again for family photos!
