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%

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!!!!!!

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."

Angie, you were absolutely incredible to work with. We had a wonderful time partnering with Angie to create our dream wedding. She was recommended to us by our venue, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, and we are so happy we chose her! Angie has such a positive personality, always kept everything under control, and never let us feel overwhelmed. It was so smooth at times we wondered what we were forgetting, and Angie always reassured us that we had it all covered. She did it ALL - from getting our vendor rates and availability sorted to showing us all our options and details that made the day come to life. Through our regularly scheduled calls and all the messaging in between, she asked all the right questions to help guide the process, (even for things we hadn't even thought about) and was always available for the one-off questions and to keep us sane, especially during those final two critical months before the big day. Angie also has a wonderful website that organized all our to-do lists, inspo pics, budget info, timelines, vendor details, etc. We didn’t realize how essential something like this was for keeping us on track, and it was little extra details like this that made such a difference. It's because of Angie that we had such wonderful vendors, a significantly less painful planning experience, and a flawlessly executed wedding day!

Everyone who was able to attend our wedding has said it was “one of the best weddings ever” and they loved how everything was setup, and none of that would’ve been done without the Gathering for Goods team.

We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer! From the moment she and her second shooter Lauren arrived, they brought such warmth and ease to the day. My husband and I are both notoriously awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable and natural—it honestly felt like hanging out with friends. The preview photos we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. I’m beyond excited to see the full gallery. What impressed me even more was how gracefully they adapted to the day’s hiccups. Despite less-than-ideal direction, they rolled with the punches and got creative, making sure to capture everything beautifully and meaningfully.

Jausalynn is truly a master of her craft. I came to her a little over 8 month before our big day with a vision but really allowed her creative juices to flow as we were deciding on our florals. She provided professional and helpful advice but allowed our vision to stay true to us. I was in awe at how many options she provided us that were so aligned with what we brought to her initially. She set up recurring meetings to ensure we stayed aligned and would even send pics of some pieces that worked with our style and interests. I felt so confident that Jaus would bring our vision to life even after our initial prospect call but I didn't know it would have turned out as amazing as it did. The bouquet, boutonnières, aisle moment, bar moment....EVERYTHING was done so perfectly and it was so intentional. I had a dream to incorporate fruits into our tablescape and Jaus made it happen and was so creative in her placements. I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Hiring a florist is truly putting trust in someone to deliver on a vision that you have....hiring Jaus was the single best decision we made on our wedding day. Not to mention she is the kindest most wonderful soul I have ever met and I feel honored to have worked with her. If you have even a slight interest in having the best experience with your wedding florals you better book her. She will change your life for the better!

She was also so helpful with guiding us throughout the process and offered her opinions for design decisions outside of just florals. We were constantly re-affirmed that we had made the right decision. Also as a professional, she was great at helping you decide what florals were enough. I never felt like I was being forced out of my comfort zone and the conversation was always focused on how to make the wedding stunning while staying within the budget that we had told her. Then for the day of, we didn't worry at all about the florals and she made sure it all went out without a hitch! She dropped off the bouquet that day, even though she was so busy and you can tell that she really cares about all of her couples. When we got to the venue, I was so blown away. I still can't believe how brilliant they turned out. She was also super clear with us on what we could keep / give away and what we couldn't so that was really nice of her!!

My experience working with Nicole was amazing! She is hands down the best planner/ design stylist in the wedding industry! I work in the wedding industry as a wedding photographer so I was a little particular with my wedding planning needs. Nicole has been amazing since our first virtual meet up! Not long after our first virtual meet up she drove down to see our wedding space in person and took lots of videos and photos and even measurements. Nicole is amazing at what she does and is so detailed! We discussed placement of items briefly and not long after nicole sent a mood board with photos of the space with items she thought would look best! I was so shocked and excited that she went above and beyond to give me a visual of what the space would look like. Throughout the year leading up to our wedding , Nicole was extremely responsive to all of my emails and I loved that so much about her. Communication is so important to me and Nicole stayed in communication all year long. Nicole found all of my rentals that would match the vibe of my wedding and communicated with all of my vendors for me. I honestly would not have survived the wedding planning process without her. Nicole is so detailed with her planning & designing and sent me a final design board with everything we had been discussing all year with exact pictures of our rentals and photoshopped mock ups of what my florals would look like. Nicole listened to all my wedding needs and wants and created the most beautiful design board absolutely nailing my vision! The day of my wedding I was blown away at how beautiful everything turned out! Although it looked almost identical to the design board she found ways to still surprise and add unique touches to the design. The day of I didn’t realize things weren’t completed( on my end. Some signage didn’t get made) but Nicole improvised last minute and rearranged some items so that I wasn’t even able to tell. Nicole is truly so talented and I’m so happy I found her!! She is so sweet, creative, talented, and communicative and I will forever be recommending her to everyone! 10/10 recommend nicole with Nicole Leza Design!

Jacob was an absolute pleasure to work with for our civil marriage and engagement photography. He was very friendly, informative, easy to communicate with and quick to respond from the moment that we reached out to him to inquire for his photo services. He was very flexible to work with, genuine throughout the entire process and made us feel so comfortable during the photography session although we are not naturals at being photographed. Jacob also had great advice on helping to make our photo session meaningful and memorable beyond just getting the amazing shots that he was able to capture. He was very in-tune with what we wanted to resemble in the photos and asked us all the right questions to truly understand our vision. He made us feel comfortable, had a lot of fun, and the final product came out beautifully. Our friends and family vouched that the photos truly captured our personalities and our relationship. Booking Jacob as our photographer for our civil marriage and engagement photography was one of the greatest joys and brought positive memories in the middle of the pandemic. Although we had to re-plan and navigate our wedding plans, working with Jacob and having these photos forever for our milestone day will be forever cherished. Thank you Jacob!

Didn't know this place existed! Went there for a reception. Dinner was super beautiful - long tables, string lights, and perfect weather. Felt really easy and fun. Then we moved into the barn and it turned into a full-on party. Disco ball, fog, lights, DJ — everyone was dancing. Honestly one of the best dance floors I’ve seen at a wedding. Really hidden gem.

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.

DJ Nico curates unforgettable nights through sound. Known for blending modern beats with timeless energy, he brings a sleek, high-end touch to every celebration. Whether it’s a luxury wedding, private event, or dance floor takeover, DJ Nico creates moments guests remember — and vibes they’ll never forget. He specializes in small-to-mid-sized weddings where couples want a personal, high-energy experience with zero cheesy DJ stuff.

We selected DJ Nico for our wedding in May. We couldn't have been happier with the service he provided. Not only was the price right, he was a great DJ. He was very responsive when we needed anything, and made himself readily available to talk at a moments notice to go over details. Nico is very professional and abstains from the tackiness that can be associated with some wedding DJ's. Very easy to communicate with and very dependable.

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. For the past 20 years I've worked on over 230 weddings (and counting!).

I’m so glad we hired Natalie as our photographer. Her communication was excellent and I felt completely confident going into my wedding day with her by my side. The photos we received were exactly what I had hoped for and truly exceeded my expectations. She delivered the photos incredibly quickly- about 6 days after the wedding- which was a wonderful surprise. Thank you, Natalie for the beautiful photos and for capturing our day so perfectly.
