“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!”

“When planning our wedding at Glen Annie Golf Course in Goleta, CA, we knew that having a great DJ would be instrumental for the day of. Justin was a recommended DJ from our venue, and was also recommended by our photographer during one of our meetings. Immediately after that call ended, we looked at Justin's website and knew that he was exactly what we were looking for. His website was super easy to use, and his custom music he has on display was a great insight on what he could do. Justin was extremely helpful, polite, and incredibly efficient. There wasn't anything we as the bride and groom had to worry about in regards to announcements, music, etc. He not only catered to our music selection with great variety, but continued to read the room as the night went on. All of our guests spoke highly of the DJ and how much fun they had on the dance floor, and it's something we will forever cherish! 5 stars is not enough to showcase just how amazing and dedicated he is.

“From the very beginning, working with Joe was an incredible experience. Joe was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process, and he made himself available for phone calls whenever we had questions or wanted to go over details. The music planning forms were easy to use and made organizing everything—from our ceremony music to the reception—simple and stress-free. Our venue had several different areas that all required separate sound setups, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, and everything transitioned seamlessly. One of the biggest challenges was that our ceremony location didn't have electrical power, but Joe came fully prepared with a system that worked flawlessly. Every ceremony cue was timed perfectly, and hearing each song start exactly when it was supposed to made the ceremony feel even more special. Throughout the reception, Joe kept everything running smoothly. The sound quality was excellent, announcements were clear, and he did an outstanding job reading the crowd while also honoring the atmosphere and music we wanted. The dance floor stayed full all night, and we've had so many guests tell us how much fun they had. If you're looking for a professional, organized, and talented wedding DJ, I can't recommend Joe enough. He exceeded our expectations in every way and played a huge part in making our wedding unforgettable.”

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!

“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.”

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.

“After going back and forth with ideas of a wedding and elopement, we decided to elope at the courthouse in hopes of getting married on our dating anniversary. Unfortunately, the Courthouse can be booked months in advance so we were looking for a nice venue to host us with less than a month away. That's where the USSB came in. With the micro-wedding package, we were able to have a low-cost, intimate, and beautiful wedding ceremony. Joanie was very accommodating with arranging short notice visits to the venue and with entertaining our ideas as we honed in our vision for the wedding. Her and John even took care of the day-of-coordination, allowing our florist to set up the pews and altar and the photographer to post above for some aerial shots. On the wedding day, everything went seamless and stress-free. We can't thank them enough for accommodating us so last minute. We also get so many compliments on the look of the church itself which is always great to hear! There is a also a beautiful park (Keck Alice Park) across the street where we got some amazing photos as well.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“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. Randy is the man!!”
