If you’re looking for a venue where your closest family members and friends are on site, if you prioritize good food, and if you don’t want to move from venue to venue during your wedding weekend… oh and you like luxury and high-class service, then this may be the venue for you! I’ve researched hundreds of venues and every time I looked at a new one, my heart would come back to The Genevieve. TG puts people at the forefront of every decision, and that was felt by us, our families, and every guest who shared our special wedding weekend with us. There are 20 gorgeous rooms on site. If you do plan your wedding here over a weekend, you will need to do a full buy-out, but honestly that was perfect for us. I didn’t want anyone not part of the wedding to be on site with us. Let’s move to food… now this was a TREAT. Our initial tasting solidified any lingering doubts. Everything was so beautiful, served piping hot, and ridiculously delicious. 75% of our guests ordered the filet and all were cooked to perfection, like how is that even possible to cook that many steaks at the same time perfectly? *Chefs kiss* to Chef Beto. So TG is a gorgeous venue, but it has multiple mini venues within it. There’s the inn where all the rooms are, the ceremony lawn, the post-ceremony happy hour lawn, an indoor bar, a grand dining room, and then even an outdoor dance floor behind there! So as the day progresses, you move from location to location which keeps things interesting and honestly was so fun! Planning for the big day with the team was a breeze. They had a list of to-do’s and due dates based on our wedding date, and everything was clear and easy to follow. I thank Pam, Kris, Chef Beto, Dana, and Esme (and everyone else!) for helping make this the best weekend of our lives! We can’t wait to come back and visit you all, just the two of us! To anyone looking for the venue of your dreams, stop looking. It’s right here on Sagunto St!

Where do we even begin?! We found Justin (DJ JAS) on TikTok and were instantly impressed by his smooth transitions, creative remixes, and upbeat style — but WOW, he completely exceeded our expectations. From day one, Justin was professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. He helped us curate custom playlists for every part of the day — from pre-ceremony to our final dance — setting the perfect tone and mood at every stage. Music was one of our top priorities, and thanks to DJ JAS, our dance floor was PACKED all night long. We’re talking sore-feet-the-next-day energy (which he promised us in one of our planning meetings — and delivered 1000%). One of our groomsmen literally skipped the bar, the photobooth, and the guestbook because “the jams were just too good.” Beyond the party, Justin handled all things audio like a pro — our ceremony mic setup was crystal clear, and he even coordinated directly with our officiant before the ceremony to make sure everything ran smoothly. He was also incredibly respectful and flexible when my dad planned a surprise — communicating ahead of time and helping pull it off flawlessly. Hiring DJ JAS was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His energy, skill, and professionalism made the entire day unforgettable. We cannot recommend him enough and are already dreaming up another event just so we can work with him again!

I'm Natalie, I am a local photographer based in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA. I mostly focus on intimate and smaller elopements, weddings, and events. The Santa Barbara Courthouse is often where you will find me, photographing civil weddings/elopements, and sometimes bigger weddings in the Mural room or Sunken Gardens.

From our first conversation, Natalie responded quickly and made us feel at ease with her friendly, professional approach. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to capture every moment, staying patient while offering creative ideas that helped us relax in front of the camera. Her talent really shines through in the final photos they're stunning and feel authentic to who we are. Natalie made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish.

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.

I had the pleasure of attending an event recently here and it is such a unique space! It has several different areas that can be used and tailored to the type of event you are planning. 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!

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I believe your wedding day deserves to be remembered as more than a collection of moments — it should feel like a rich story, with visceral emotions coursing through each scene.

Every image is composed with purpose, full of honesty and elegance, and alive with feeling. Your story is already extraordinary. My work ensures it’s remembered that way — beautifully, and forever.

Leslie and her team were a great addition to the team of amazing people who made our wedding day perfect.

I could not recommend Grace Kathryn enough!! She was truly a godsend on our big day. I know deciding on a photographer can be one of the more stressful parts of wedding planning but when we happened upon Grace Kathyrn’s work on Zola we knew she was perfect! She fit our budget and all her work was so worth it. She was extremely communicative and thorough, making sure we covered bases that we hadn't even thought about. We had the necessary meetings prior, the photo lists organized ahead of time, and all the information we needed when deciding on location and our desired aesthetic. On the day of she worked nonstop, helped with poses, made us feel comfortable, and honestly felt like family. She was so personable and put us at ease. She was dependable, even for things outside her role. She even lent us a dog leash and dog treats for our engagement photos when we foolishly forgot to bring our own. She checked on us often leading closer to the big day as well as during, and even though we had a day of wedding coordinator, she felt like one as well. We were so happy to have had Grace Kathyrn work with us and absolutely LOVE all the photos she delivered! She also put lots of work on all the edits that we requested and everything came out perfect!! We felt bad for asking for multiple edits but she was more than happy to do it for us and made sure we didn't feel guilty about asking. She truly made our day and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you Grace Kathyrn for everything!!! You deserve all the praise for your amazing work and work ethic!! We're so happy to have these wedding photos to cherish for the rest of our lives.

10/10 recommend Sarah. She has a heart of gold and it shines the moment you meet her. I found Sarah on Instagram and knew I had to book with her. Her style of shooting was exactly what we were looking for. Not only is she a talented creative but she brings kindness and warmth to every interaction. We also appreciated how organized Sarah was and all of the advice and direction she offered. I was especially grateful and so comforted having her by my side on the wedding day. We feel so lucky to have met her and are so, so happy with our engagement and wedding photos. We love you Sarah and can’t wait for another reason to shoot with you.

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.

USSB was seriously amazing for our November 2025 wedding. Joanie and her team were so great to work with, super responsive, organized, and just genuinely helpful the entire time. Communication was easy from the beginning and I honestly have zero complaints. We had both our ceremony and reception there with about 100 people, and it was the perfect size. It felt intimate but still had plenty of room for everyone to celebrate comfortably. They also recommended some incredible vendors, which made planning so much easier. We booked our caterer through their recommendation, DJs Catering, and I’m so glad we did, highly recommend! Our wedding planner was also a recommendation, Melena with Sage and Slate. she was the best and has worked weddings there before. The venue also recommended our DJ... DJ Darla Bea. Overall, it was such a great experience and I would 100% recommend USSB to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It truly felt perfect for our day! Thank you so much USSB!!!!!!

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was so easy to work with from the start! She quickly responded to our inquiry, and in our call, it was easy to decide that she was the wedding photographer we wanted to work with. We already knew that we loved her aesthetic. So when communication and logistics were easy, we were confident about working with her. Our wedding was scheduled for June 2020. We were really bummed about significantly downsizing to a small wedding in the last minute, but vendors like Lerina made the day so incredibly special. Lerina flew across the country to South Carolina to capture our small wedding. One year later, she and her assistant, Danny, flew out again to shoot our larger one-year anniversary renewal of vows. Throughout all the uncertainty, Lerina was easy to communicate with and incredibly reasonable with adapting the contract and rescheduling amidst the unprecedented circumstances. In retrospect, we were so blessed to get to know Lerina and Danny as well as we did because of the extended time of working together. They hold special places in our hearts and working with them was like working with dear, fun friends. They even accepted our invitation to our Low Country Boil rehearsal dinner and were wonderful with engaging our 2-year-old niece during photographing. We had such a blast together. Lerina helped us to feel natural in our photos and her images captured the love, joy, and beauty that filled our celebrations.

Our main goal was for our wedding day to be relaxing and stress-free, and Randy made sure of that.

We loved that he listed to our vision but also gave great suggestions based on his past experience. There were many moving parts and multiple vendors involved, and Randy handled this with precision and extreme organization. Especially working in corporate events professionally myself, I knew exactly what I was looking for in a day-of coordinator and that was Randy.

Note that this is a review for the 12-Week Wedding Planning & Day-Of Coordination service. My wife and I recently had a wedding with Brenda as our day-of coordinator and we could not have been happier with the experience. Since we were doing a significant amount of wedding planning ourselves, we did not intend to have a day-of coordinator. However, many of our vendors asked who we would be using and after some consideration, we decided to invest in one and we are so happy we did. Brenda is very professional, organized, and assertive, which are all integral to being a great coordinator. From our first call, she demonstrated her knowledge about how to run a smooth wedding by asking us details and questions we had not even considered. She uses Honeybook, has automated emails, and remembers even the smallest details, showing how strong her systems are in place. And most of all she is assertive! We were able to hand off planning to her about two weeks before and things the day of went smoothly with our limited involvement. Considering the 12-week package, Brenda has extremely involved and communicative from the moment we started planning. We had many email communications, in addition to phone calls and site visits/rehearsals to ensure everything was smooth. It put us at ease to be alongside someone so experienced. All of these aspects allowed us to be able to soak in the day as much as we could. We are both very happy with her services and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding.

It is so hard to put into words what Natalie and her team at Surraya Events meant to us. She created the best day of our lives flawlessly and we will always be grateful to her! From the second we first spoke we knew she was incredibly attentive to detail. Without skipping a beat she would recall comments we made earlier in the conversation and circle back to answer any previous questions. She is a master communicator, incredible organizer, go-getter, and a truly sweet person. When choosing a wedding planner or coordinator it was most important to us that we receive value out of the cost. When I say Natalie blew us away I really mean it! She went above and beyond our contract to complete the wedding day vision. Her ability to coordinate vendors is next level; she is so talented at quickly getting answers to people that need one. It's worth mentioning also that her team is incredibly kind and kept us calm during the day when she was busy setting up. Walking into our cocktail hour and reception was the most moving and emotional experience because of Natalie's dedication. Reflecting on our wedding is such a joy because of Natalie's hard work! She has a forever friend and fan in us and we can't wait to watch her continue to master this industry!!

Our wedding day was such a whirlwind of emotions and moments, but thanks to our incredible videographers, we're able to relive these precious memories at any time. From the moment we arrived, we could tell their professionalism and passion was quite evident. They took the time to understand our vision for the day while at the same blending seamlessly in the background to capture candid moments without us even realizing they were happening. I was especially impressed with their attention to detail, from close up shots of the bouquet to the wide shots of the venue. Aside from their amazing abilities, they're just plain fun to be around! The final product was an absolute masterpiece. The quality of footage was outstanding, with a perfect balance of romantic moments, laughter, and even the tears welling up as we exchanged vows. We're forever grateful to our videographers for their hard work and meticulous dedication. They did more than just record and photograph our wedding, they captured the essence of our love story.

Foxen Canyon Ranch was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was warm, friendly and accommodating from the very first interaction. The quality of their work and the value they provided was uniquely incredible, stunning and special in every way. They responded immediately to all of our questions and communication, and were extremely helpful with advice, recommendations and logistics that enabled a seamless experience before, during and after the event. I cannot say enough about the energy, quality and effort that were so evident in the wedding day that we were given. These owners clearly love to create magical and incredible experiences for their clients and guests. The details of the venue they have created have to be seen to be explained - words are not enough.

Our wedding at Zack Mesa Winery was nothing short of magical. From the breathtaking views to the beautifully maintained grounds, every detail created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — romantic, elegant, and warm all at once. What truly set our experience apart, though, was the hospitality manager, Jake. From the very beginning of the planning process, Jake was incredibly courteous, attentive, and thoughtful. He took the time to answer every question, ease every concern, and make sure no detail was overlooked. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Jake made it feel seamless and enjoyable. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and genuine care made us feel completely supported every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, everything flowed effortlessly, and that’s a true testament to Jake’s organization and dedication. He went above and beyond to ensure not only that we were taken care of, but that our family and guests felt welcomed and comfortable as well. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with stunning scenery and exceptional service, Zack Mesa Winery is it. And if you’re lucky enough to work with Jake, you’ll be in the very best hands. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to start our forever.
