Santa Barbara Club

the food was, and the indoor-outdoor setting was gorgeous. Definitely worth the cost.

imited options and amazing food.

ic, intimate vibe to your wedding and the garden area adds a stunning Mediterranean garden feel. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out. We chose The Club do to the "all-inclusive" capabilities. Catering, bar tending, tables, linens, full venue etc. In my event experience I usually doubt that anyone can fully excel in all those areas, but I think given that it is a functioning club it truly does. The food was spectacular! They even went out of their way to make macaron towers for us for dessert (not an easy feat!). We were keeping our options open interms of tables, chairs and linens but after seeing the Club's we decided to go with them! They were so well kept, clean and free of wear-and-tear (which I noticed as some hotels we toured!) The staff was beyond amazing, I think again due to the fact they are a functioning private club, all of them were very helpful and friendly. My only tip would be is to get a good Wedding Planner (month of is required by the Club). There wasn't a ton of proactive assistance, I had to ask all the questions. Suggest seating layouts, inquire about serve ware, rainplan etc. They were incredibly easy to work with and responsive when I did reach out, but I had to facilitate. Assuming none of you have done this before either I kept asking myself "What am I missing because I don't know what I don't know." I was helpful to know I had a planner that could spot something that I didn't think about or knew wouldn't work at The Club a head of time. All in all, everything came out perfectly and it was a great venue!!

my event at Santa Barbara Club, I have been so impressed. Julie is a true professional who will guide you through what works well at the club while also keeping your own personal vision in mind. After the sales process, I was handed over to the extremely capable Alejandra. I do not know how to express the love I have for this woman. She made the planning process so seamless for me (planning it from San Diego). I knew that even the smallest of detail I handed to her would be taken care of. All of my requests and concerns were met with a "can do" attitude, and not once did she make me feel like I was bothering her. The night before the wedding I was introduced to Tina, the main banquet captain, who was going to be handling the flow for the day of. She was thorough and professional and they are so very lucky to have her. On the day of my wedding, it was magic!!! The venue was set exactly the way I asked and it was gorgeous. The food was amazing and everything I had hoped for. Food was so important to us as a couple and they delivered in spades on this! We had scallops and short ribs as entrees and WOW!! My guests are still talking about how they were able to do scallops for that many people, and cook them so perfectly. The staff was attentive, polished and so welcoming. I literally could write a novel about how perfect this venue is, but I hope you will head there and see for yourself. If you have even one doubt, know that this event professional would choose Santa Barbara Club over any venue any day of the week!
