Rincon Beach Club

nd had to put our wedding together in four months. Kinsey and Marc (the owner ) made that possible. The Rincon team also majorly bailed us out on our wedding day when the florist we hired, (not one of their preferred vendors) completely dropped the ball and left us hanging with substandard arrangements. We had an amazing wedding and can't thank them enough for making our dream wedding a reality. Thank you

he location. The garden space is just WOW- all of our guests were blown away by how beautiful and unique our venue was. The beams at the top are unbelievable and they offer a chandelier add-on which really brings it all together. We searched long and hard for a venue, and this truly was the most magical place to have our special day. The photos turned out beautiful and the space was such a great setting. Their in-house inventory is also great and all of it is so beautiful! The staff and team at Rincon are so sweet and wonderful to work with. Kinsey was so amazing on the day and really made us feel supported! The food was AMAZING- we had multiple people come up and tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had- we did stations and it was so fun! I would highly recommend to any couple thinking of having their special day at Rincon Beach Club!

n excuse to get back down there to have more tri-tip! They are professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We had a 100-person wedding and it was an absolutely stunning setup executed to perfection thanks to carol and our lovely vendors. The team is so experienced and knows exactly what they are doing, if you are hesitant about doing the beach ceremony don't be they make it so easy! The best part was that we were able to actually enjoy our wedding and carol had the schedule down, she just told us when and where to be allowing us to enjoy and chat with our guests. Thank you Rincon for creating the most magical day for us, if only I could do this every year!!!!

incon Beach Club if you are planning a wedding in the area!

he day seems like a blur. Carol made the entire process of planning a wedding a breeze - from touring the venue to day-of celebrations. We got to get married on the beach with a lovely garden dinner and minimal stress thanks to Carol and her amazing team at Rincon - we highly recommend them!

ng more comfortable and excited about Rincon as a partner/venue. We held our wedding ceremony at a different venue and Carol went out of her way to help coordinate the entire day. She managed all other vendor relationships and made sure that everything went according to plan and schedule. Rincon food was AMAZING and all of our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Everything is customizable in their menu which made it feel very authentic to us. The tasting event that occurred a few months prior to our wedding was incredible as well. The venue itself was beautiful and ALSO very customizable. We enjoyed the indoor/outdoor spaces and the flow of the overall layout. We give Carol and Rincon our highest recommendation and could not have been more happy with how everything turned out. Thank you for everything Carol!

nd drinks as well as see all of their decor we could rent. Their prices are definitely on par if not better than most beach venues in Ventura and Santa Barbara county and it is really unlike any other place. Our guests had the best time and we hope we have another excuse to celebrate there again soon. Would highly recommend this venue for your next event

ent space is gorgeous --it was able to easily fit our guest list of 200 people. The cocktail hour space, dinner space, and dancing all flowed together extremely well. It gives off such a wonderfully intimate and romantic feel. The reason we loved the beach club so much was not only because of the beautiful event space, but because of Carol, the owner of the club. From the first time we met her, we knew that she made the place special. She is so incredibly friendly and made us feel like we were at home, giving us some freshly baked goods that their catering company had just made. She has a ton of experience with hosting weddings, and we have been SO impressed by her breadth of knowledge and how she was so on top of every little wedding detail throughout our wedding planning process. We didn't need a wedding planner because Carol was our wedding coordinator. I felt like a lot of the typical wedding stress was alleviated because we had Carol guiding us though the process. Carol was incredibly responsive to every email I sent and always had a thoughtful answer to my many silly questions. We worked with Carol for about 14 months leading up to the wedding, and there was never one time that we were frustrated or felt like we were in the dark. Guests after the wedding told me that Carol came up to each table during the dinner to make sure everyone was doing well and that they thought it was such a wonderful touch. That represents how much Carol cares about making the experience a perfect one. The food at the beach club was immaculate. Multiple guests have commented to us on how it was the best wedding food that they have ever had!! We had the tri-tip, the salmon, the ravioli, salad, and the potatoes, and I'm still dreaming of how good the food was. There was enough food available so that our guests weren't hungry after, which is also a common problem we've encountered at weddings. Carol even had it planned so we were able to eat our cocktail hour food AND our dinner, which is pretty rare for most brides and grooms at their own wedding! Between the event space, the food, and Carol, this was the most perfect wedding venue. We are so grateful to Carol for making our special day so stress-free, perfect, and fun for us and all of our guests. We would highly recommend the Rincon Beach Club to anyone!!!!!

creative ideas. She and her team put together a perfect afternoon beach wedding and evening reception that was even better than I had imagined. The venue is so pretty. Last minute changes and glitches (the band’s stage was way bigger than expected so the entire dance area had to be reconfigured) were handled effortlessly. From the Bride and Groom’s perspective, we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have our wedding at the Rincon Beach Club. Neither of us were super confident about the wedding planning process, so we were looking for a “one stop shop” venue that would make everything easy for us and provide linens, candles, chairs, sound system, the whole shebang. In addition to making everything easy for us, we loved the relaxed yet chic vibe of the club, and we were thrilled to be able to tie the knot on the sand! Carol was absolutely incredible (so incredible that we definitely did not feel the need to hire a separate wedding planner!). She was so patient with us and our families, and guided us through each step of the process. Having been in the wedding business for several decades, Carol has the ability to anticipate problems and solve them before you even become aware of them. The week before our wedding, we found out our band couldn't provide power for our beach ceremony…Carol had kept a DJ on hold for us just in case (unbeknownst to us), and we averted a major disaster thanks to her foresight! Carol and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with, and Carol’s calming presence and confidence in every step of the process was invaluable.

ping us to pick vendors, structure our ceremony, and make decisions about the wedding day. Carol is so friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive - she made the stressful wedding planning process feel so much easier!! From hosting an incredible tasting event (at which we got to taste test all of the potential food and drink options) to answering our millions of frantic questions throughout the past year, Carol was our wedding fairy godmother. Our wedding weekend was beautiful and perfect. Many guests have told us it was their favorite wedding of all time. The Rincon Beach Club venue is beautiful - surrounded by flowering hedges and fairy lights, the garden feels intimate but not at all cramped. It's so nice that there's indoor and outdoor space (and a fireplace!), so people can choose where to hang out. Carol did a great job of directing guests, soothing frazzled family members, and taking care of any and all issues before they even reached us. Our guests keep telling us that our wedding had the perfect ratio of structured time to unstructured time - we have Carol to thank for that. It was so helpful to build a program off of her suggested schedule. As environmentally-minded folks, my wife and I decided to serve a vegetarian buffet (knowing it might be a controversial move). The food was SO amazing, it's one of the top compliments we've been getting since the wedding! Even our carnivorous friends and family raved about it. As a lesbian couple, my wife and I felt extra grateful to have found such a wonderful venue and coordinator. Throughout our planning process, we were always aware that some wedding vendors might be unfriendly. Working with Carol and her team, we never felt any tiny inkling of that. They were excited to help us incorporate the wedding traditions we liked, and never made any assumptions about what we did or did not want. We wish there were more local resources for gay couples planning a wedding. If any are created, Carol and her team should definitely be added to that list! To summarize: we could not have picked a better venue, caterer, or in-house coordinator. We're so grateful to them, and HIGHLY recommend them!!!!

ld us it was the best wedding food they've ever had.

vent coordinator and go-to person. She was extremely helpful during the process and the day of everything went fairly smoothly. I live in San Diego so a lot of our correspondence was through email. She’s an extremely busy woman so she didn’t get back to me right away all the time but in the end everything got squared away. The only snafus during the reception were my fault (forgetting to give some people seats). She coordinated all of the vendors beautifully. We had the ceremony on the beach and it was gorgeous. The day of, I really didn’t check on any of my vendors, I just let them do their thing and Carol looked after all of it. She was attentive of my husband and I, bringing us food and refilling our drinks. I would definitely highly recommend RBC!

comes full circle, and worked with us to design our menu, decor, and every detail to our liking. We have received so many compliments from all of our guests (245), raving about the food, dessert, decor, and beauty of the venue itself. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Our reception was beyond anything we could have ever imagined and we truly owe it to her and the Rincon team! If you're looking for a venue that is absolutely stunning (all on it's own), serves amazing food (with tons of options), and also helps with the entire planning process, this is your place!

of my expectations and I had the wedding of my dreams. THANK YOU CAROL AND RINCON!

at beverages that no one wanted to leave! Carol made the planning process so easy and stress free for us, and she was so accommodating to our requests and concerns. Thank you to the entire Rincon team for making our special day beyond incredible!!

alkthroughs of the site with different vendors to make sure the DJ, photographer, and relevant family members were all filled in and on the same page. In the months leading up to the event we knew we were in good hands, and had very little stress about preparations. On the day itself, Marc and his team had done a beautiful job preparing a landing space with hors d'oeuvres, a bar and gift table. The staff were friendly and attentive and gave my bride and I tons of ease and time to interact with the guests. I wandered down to the dinner area to check it out before dinner time, and realized my bride and I had missed something on the invoice and plans earlier, and had assigned our guests to tables using 1 extra table than we had initially agreed upon with Marc. I quickly informed him of the shortage and apologized for our miscommunication. Marc nodded, assured me he would take care of it and told me to go back and enjoy the party. An hour later, when we wandered down for dinner, the table was set and looked as beautiful as the others. The food was delicious, Marc and the team easily accommodated our vegetarian needs and also made some meat dishes for our guests. We honestly could not be more happy with Rincon Catering, and especially Marc. If you're in the Santa Barbara area and looking for a very professional, thoughtful and helpful team, I highly recommend the crew at Rincon Catering. The Beach Club looks amazing, but they also do a wonderful job for offsite weddings.

ur guests raved about it. If I could give them 10 stars I would certainly do so. I give them the highest recommendation possible. I can't wait to have another party with them because there was no stress, it was everything I hoped and our guests had a lot of fun. Perfection!

or lighting to clean-up, we used Rincon for all and it was perfection! Marc was incredible, and after meeting with him, we were sold. He was gracious with his time, flexibility, and not only was quick to align to our vision but also was sensitive to the needs of our venue and family. Being married on a family member’s estate in Santa Barbara (though we live in San Francisco), we wanted to ensure that we were respectful of the the property. From start to finish Rincon was sensitive to the plant life, the structures, and to the property owners themselves. In fact, they loved Rincon so much they are now booking him for their New Year’s party too! In the end, we were impressed with the adaptability that Marc offered, his gentle candor, and his humility. Coordinating with Rincon remotely couldn’t have gone any smoother, and his demeanor clearly sets the tone for Rincon. We never had any doubts in the trust we had placed in his hands, and Rincon never let us down - they exceeded our expectations in every facet!

heir event space in Carpinteria, I knew it was where my wedding would be. I would also like to mention I live on the East coast and was never stressed or worried the closer I got to my big day. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. Carol and her team did my center pieces as well, which I absolutely LOVED! I had my wedding on the beach and it was magical. Rincon is a one-stop-shop, they do it all. My friends and family are still raving about the delicious food and desserts. I highly recommend Rincon Beach Club for any bride and groom that want a beautiful outdoor wedding in one of the most beautiful places I have been to in California. Thank you Carol, I will never forget you and the priceless memories and experience you gave to me, my husband, and my entire family! I hope one day I get to come back as a guest for someone else's wedding!

The website pictures are accurate of how the event(s) look in person. There are a few lounge seating areas to sit have a drink and socialize, dance floor, and bar. The bathroom is cozy and I like the tile.

the details from the very beginning up to the day before. She was conscientious about our budget and made wonderful recommendations for all of the things we weren't sure of, and it all came together beautifully to match our style. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and everyone was raving about the food. I've heard many other brides complain about how they weren't able to eat at all during their wedding, but Carol had it under such great control that we were able to fully enjoy every moment and enjoy the delicious food as well :) I couldn't recommend Rincon Beach Club and staff more highly!

ghly recommended if having any sort of event in this area!!

onderful to work with. The food was AMAZING. We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and one of the funnest weddings they had attended. All the vendors Carol suggested were easy and professional to work with and Carol kept me feeling sane and calm through the whole process. She is a dream and I would recommend her to ANYONE and EVERYONE. Everything about my wedding day (and the time leading up to it) was memorable and wonderful. RBC will tailor a plan to fit any budget, and I highly recommend them for any event. THE BEST.

is she so sweet, she is attentive, knowledgeable, a straight-shooter and helpful with anything you need. She helps guide you to exactly what you're looking for. Our wedding turned out perfect - the food was amazing, decor and lighting beautiful and the set up was gorgeous. We have not stopped getting compliments on the staff, service, food, and venue since our wedding day!! Rincon will always have a special place in our heart and Carol is the best. If you are wanting a more casual, but elegant place that is so beautiful on its own you don't need much, this is the place!! I felt so relaxed on my wedding day - everything was taken care of for us and we were able to really enjoy the day and evening. We did our ceremony in the garden along with the reception and it was worth it. We took pictures out on the beach and so glad we did that. Happy we did not get married on the beach, as in the month of June there were alot of beach goers that can potentially ruin your ceremony shots. Just something to think of when considering where to do your ceremony. Otherwise - 100% would choose this venue all over again. LOVE IT and LOVE Carol and her team.

were always willing to meet with us and answer any questions we had throughout the planning process. Their attention to detail and willingness to make our wedding unique for us was more than we could have asked for. We continue to look back and say that our wedding was perfect! We could not have been happier to have chosen such a phenomenal venue. They made our dream wedding a reality.
