Went to a welcome party here and it definitely felt like an event, not just a casual beach hang. The setup had this vintage Mediterranean feel — striped umbrellas, mismatched bistro chairs, weathered tables — like something out of a 70s travel postcard. It all came together in a way that felt thoughtful but still relaxed. The setting by the ocean added to the vibe, but it was really the aesthetic that made it feel special. Super cool spot for a kickoff gathering.

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.

Drift Santa Barbara was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. From the moment we started working with their team, they were always there to help and truly wanted us to have the best day possible. The intimate space at Drift provided so much room for creativity - the team put in so much effort to ensure the space was beautifully set up and the service was exceptional. It's a truly gorgeous venue with the sweetest people, and we loved having our reception there.

The Ojai Retreat & Inn was everything we could have asked for for our wedding in early November!! We rented the whole property for our wedding party and the weekend felt like a dream oasis! Before the wedding, we were able to immerse ourselves in the serenity of the Ojai Retreat by taking a stroll on the nature path. We also enjoyed nearby restaurants (Bonnie Lu's for breakfast and Ca'Marco for our Rehearsal Dinner) that were a short car ride away. We used the living room area and the upstairs library for getting ready spaces and they were well air-conditioned and provided more than enough space for all of us- without the groom seeing the bride, of course. Then during our ceremony and reception, the beauty of the landscape and views made for marvelous photos and memories! It was truly magical and felt like an enchanted fairytale! On top of the beauty of the property, everyone who works at the Ojai Retreat & Inn is so kind and helpful! A special thank you to Dana and Lia for your help and to all the workers who helped move lawn furniture before our rentals needed to unload. They were so flexible with us and worked with us on our many random questions and requests. We can't wait to come back to the Ojai Retreat & Inn for our anniversaries!!

I recently had my wedding here on March 16, 2024. I had to come and leave a review because my husband and I are so happy with our experience. From the moment we booked the venue (March 2023) until the day of our wedding, the staff at Pacific View Tower was very responsive and always available for questions. Brittany is a true rock star and not only made our vision come to life but exceeded all our expectations. Along with that, their floral vendor, Maribel, really listened to my wants and made our wedding look stunning. All of our guests were blown away by the venue, the service, and the food.

We looked at quite a few different venues across the state of California (from Piru all the way to Mendocino) and none of the others held a candle to how beautiful this venue is or how kind and helpful Crystal, the general manager, has been. We live in the Bay Area, so we relied heavily on Crystal’s recommendations for local vendors, all of whom were also excellent. The venue has a variety of ceremony sites, depending on your guest count and the vibe you’re going for. All of them are gorgeous. Every guest I talked to was completely blown away by this place. My favorite part of having our wedding here, though, was being able to spend the whole weekend with our wedding party. I feel like weddings are often really rushed affairs, where the people getting married barely get a chance to see even their closest friends and family. The hours surrounding our wedding were still a lot like this, but we also got to have breakfast and lunch and little moments throughout the day with our fiends that otherwise might have been spent driving or worrying about forgetting something at a separate hotel. Also the beds were way more comfortable than any hotel or airbnb bed I’ve stayed in recently. Not to mention the fact that the bridal suite is one of the dreamiest spaces I’ve ever hung out in.

Choosing Fogo de Chao for our rehearsal dinner was one of the easiest choices of the entire wedding. They made everything so easy for us. There were several food and beverage packages that we got to pick from and on the day of we were tucked away in a private area with our own set of servers. It couldn't have gone any better, everyone was really nice and treated both me and the guests like vips on the day of and the food was delicious. 10/10 would do again.
