Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Alli – Alexandra Wallace for our engagement and wedding photos. From the initial consultation to the final delivery (within 30 days of the date!) of the photos, every step of the process was handled smooth, organized and her creativity is amazing! On the day of the wedding, Alli went above and beyond to capture every special moment. She was well-prepared, but also incredibly personable, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid, intimate moments was truly impressive. We love her style each and every photo. What sets Alli apart is her attention to detail and dedication. She knew the perfect spots for our first look, bridal shots, and family photos. She also managed to capture the essence and emotions of the day beautifully, providing us with a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever. As promised, the final photos were delivered well before the promised date. The quality of the images exceeded our expectations; every photo was vibrant, well-composed, and perfectly edited. It was evident that she spent time on each photo and took ownership over her work. We highly recommend Alli and her team to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also dedicated to making your special day unforgettable. Thank you, Alli, for giving us such beautiful memories to look back on!

10/10 recommend Sarah. She has a heart of gold and it shines the moment you meet her. I found Sarah on Instagram and knew I had to book with her. Her style of shooting was exactly what we were looking for. Not only is she a talented creative but she brings kindness and warmth to every interaction. We also appreciated how organized Sarah was and all of the advice and direction she offered. I was especially grateful and so comforted having her by my side on the wedding day. We feel so lucky to have met her and are so, so happy with our engagement and wedding photos. We love you Sarah and can’t wait for another reason to shoot with you.

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. 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. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Lerina Winter Photo 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,750
  • Serves Buellton, CA

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was so easy to work with from the start! She quickly responded to our inquiry, and in our call, it was easy to decide that she was the wedding photographer we wanted to work with. We already knew that we loved her aesthetic. So when communication and logistics were easy, we were confident about working with her. Our wedding was scheduled for June 2020. We were really bummed about significantly downsizing to a small wedding in the last minute, but vendors like Lerina made the day so incredibly special. Lerina flew across the country to South Carolina to capture our small wedding. One year later, she and her assistant, Danny, flew out again to shoot our larger one-year anniversary renewal of vows. Throughout all the uncertainty, Lerina was easy to communicate with and incredibly reasonable with adapting the contract and rescheduling amidst the unprecedented circumstances. In retrospect, we were so blessed to get to know Lerina and Danny as well as we did because of the extended time of working together. They hold special places in our hearts and working with them was like working with dear, fun friends. They even accepted our invitation to our Low Country Boil rehearsal dinner and were wonderful with engaging our 2-year-old niece during photographing. We had such a blast together. Lerina helped us to feel natural in our photos and her images captured the love, joy, and beauty that filled our celebrations.

Leslie is the best! She radiates sweetness and so beautifully captured our big day. She genuinely listens in each meeting, and is so easy to talk to. The relationship that she creates is one that makes the wedding so enjoyable— and you get the vision you want because she remembers what you wanted! We wanted photos that were light, airy, and timeless— her touch is exactly that. I can’t stop posting the photos and choosing which ones to post has been hard because I love them all!! You will not regret choosing Leslie for your big day- you can feel the love and energy through the photos. She also offers incredible print options and we got our favorite photo in a stunning acrylic!! Overall, pictures are one of the biggest parts of a wedding and she delivered on every front. She created a schedule that was perfect for the flow of the wedding, she could get people where they needed to be, she captured moments that I missed during the day (and I love to look back on now), and of course all the important moments!

So the music for our wedding was CRUCIAL for me as it had to be PERFECT. I knew that dance floor had to be LIT. I randomly came across an Instagram video of Justin mixing songs and knew he was the guy to pull it off. It was the exact high energy and excitement we wanted. Justin took so many calls and texts from us explaining each vision that we had from our first dance to special surprise dances and moments even custom mixing tracks for us. No matter the time or day or random thought I had he was totally reachable and ON BOARD. After the wedding we had so many compliments from people about our dance floor and music. Truly it was a BLAST and we could not have done it without Justin. Not to mention great MC skills he totally knew exactly when and how to queue us. The dance floor was going off so much so that we didn't even change songs for the cake cutting and kept it going till we had to shut down El Paseo. BOOK JUSTIN

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!

A striking white barn welcomes you and your guests as you arrive. Open gardens, expansive lawns and century old oaks, provide the perfect atmosphere for any event. There are infinite possibilities for events of different sizes, levels of grandeur or intimacy with plenty of interior and outdoor spaces. The ranch is designed to be the canvas for your unique creation and ideas.

  • Rustic charm with elegance
  • Romantic vineyard setting

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Does not provide event staff
Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Foxen Canyon Ranch was the best decision we made, hands down. They are professional, courteous, their attention to detail is unmatched and their venue is sparkling clean and a dream space to design and plan a wedding in. They made it easy for vendor load in and load out. The venue has a lot of added bonuses like gas fire pits with seating, Edison lights over their built in bar with a bar back that could easily accommodate 4 or more bartenders for a large wedding. The outdoor space had string lights and up lights around the patio. The finished bar is a complete blank space to dream up the perfect reception in and the grounds allow for social distancing or events and ceremonies to be 100% outside. Their landscaping is neutral and allowed the floral designer to incorporate any color with ease. The caterer loved the private driveway and space they created for them to pull into and unload the food and beverage. We didn't encounter any long haul fees, which we have seen with other venues. They are tucked away and allow for a completely private event. If you are looking for a garden, ranch, industrial vibe- Foxen Canyon Ranch is a hidden gem amongst wedding venues in Santa Ynez. We highly recommend them!

Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kay and Bram were an absolute joy to work with! It also helped they are total dog lovers like my husband and I, and captured the absolute best images of our boy, Maverick. I don’t think there was one moment where we were NOT smiling or laughing around these two, and it put my anxious mind completely at ease. They are affordable, hard-working, and completely matched our photography vision (lighter) for our most important day. I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude for the talent these two possess, but for now…thank you, Kay and Bram, for everything you have done for us. We truly adore you and are so lucky to have befriended you! - Chelsea, Neal, and Mav

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Debbie enough. From the first day I met her up to the day of the wedding, Debbie went above and beyond my expectations! First of all, Debbie was so prompt in communication. It didn't matter what time of day I emailed her, she would respond within a couple hours and would always take initiative to follow up on our meetings. Debbie was also always willing to meet up with me in person whenever I wanted to discuss designs. She even brought samples of cloths, dried flowers, and pot options to one of our meetings so I could see and feel the materials in person!! When it came to design, it was so clear that Debbie has a passion for her work. I would give her ideas of what I was thinking and Debbie would give me her input as well as multiple options for color palettes, floral types, and materials. But she never imposed her ideas onto me and made sure that I got what I wanted. The entire process was organized and easy. She made me mood boards and even a realistic sketches of the arch that I was wanting (with multiple versions). She was also upfront with pricing for any changes that were suggested. Finally on the day of the wedding, Debbie was a total professional and had everything set up right on time. Everything looked even more beautiful than I could've imagined. I am not exaggerating that so many people at my wedding complimented me on the floral arrangements. I feel like whether you know exactly what you want or need help with design, Debbie is your girl. She was someone I never had to worry about and I trusted to put 100% into the job because she truly loves what she does. Best vendor ever!!!

If You desire whimsical and colorful florals, but you still want to keep the design tailored and clean-cut, you've landed in the right place.

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!

Thank you for being here! My name is Amelie and I am extremely passionate about capturing intimate love stories. I love collaborating with my couples to create unique, meaningful galleries that reflect the most important moments of their days. I would describe my style as candid, emotional, dreamy, fun, and documentary-style.

From the minute that Amelie arrived at the venue, she was professional, helpful, creative, and kind. She is incredibly skilled not only at taking beautiful and artistic photographs, but also in managing the dynamics of the wedding event. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera but taking a walk with Amelie to get some solo shots was organic and effortless. We just received some preview photos, and both her photo composition and editing captured our wedding perfectly. Without being asked, she took on many more roles than just the photographer: timekeeper, dress bustler, calm creator, and creative director. She somehow seemed to be in several places at once and was always an arm distance away when a photo opportunity arrived. She scouted beautiful places for my husband and I to take solo photos, instructed the officiant on where to best stand so our ceremony photos would look good, and remembered every single special shot that we requested prior to the event. Hiring Amelie was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. We will certainly be recommending her to all our friends and family.

Our wedding at Zaca Mesa took place this spring in March. Everything to booking, venue walk through, and the event day of went smoothly thanks to Tara the event manager at Zaca. She was on top of everything and answered all the questions we had thoroughly and promptly through the whole experience. We felt truly welcomed and like a part of a family there. The venue itself is beautiful with a gorgeous oak tree outside, tall ceilings in the view room, and the greenery outside. It was everything we wanted for our special day. Unfortunately it rained so we weren’t able to utilize the outdoor space but the Zaca team and our event coordinator team did everything and anything to switch to plan B to make sure we still had our ceremony outside and a fun party inside. I truly believe the way the event panned out was even better than the original plan. The professionalism was top notch. Even the times we’ve come to visit the service is impeccable. I am so happy we chose Zaca and we cannot WAIT to come back to visit. It’s one of the reasons we wanted to have our wedding there was to be able to come back and relive those special moments.

Brenda and her team were so helpful and made sure our day was perfect! She was quick to respond on any questions we had and was always willing to help via call or email. Choosing vendors is never an easy task, but with Brenda’s help and wonderful advice choosing all our vendors was totally achievable. We knew nothing about wedding planning or where to even start, but with deadlines that Brenda gave us and timelines everything seemed to go together and planning a wedding actually made sense. 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. Our wedding was the most memorable, relaxing, and enjoyable experience for us and many of our family and friends as well! Without Brenda and her team we would’ve been much more stressed and lost. There isn’t a thing we would’ve changed about our wedding, Brenda you’re an amazing wedding coordinator. Thank you to the entire Gathering for Goods Team for helping create a memory we will cherish forever!! - The Rainbolts

Augusta Ottillia Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Buellton, CA

My passion for photography was built on nostalgia. From a young age, I loved opening of the old holiday popcorn tins full of generations of family photos that my mom kept in the hallway closet. It felt magical to pull out old memories and hear my mom recall the story behind a photo. Now, I love to capture these special memories for my clients to pass down to the next generation. My job is to encourage and direct you so you feel comfortable and confident while taking photos, capturing each unique story in a creative and authentic way. I do this by creating a space for us to truly get to know each other and be ourselves.

If you are reading this review in search of a wedding photographer, you can stop the search now, because Augusta is who you want! Augusta is so talented, so easy to connect with, and takes the time to truly understand what you and your partner are hoping to capture. On our actual wedding day, there were many times we were running behind schedule, and Augusta quickly adapted and still managed to capture more than we ever hoped for, or expected. More than that, I'm not sure how many weddings Augusta has worked, but she makes you feel like the most important and special person, is so attentive, has such a calming yet commanding presence (exactly what you need, but didn't know you needed until the day is actually unfolding), and makes you feel like you've been lifelong friends. She's extremely professional, great with communication, and if I had 15 weddings, I'd want her for all 15 of them.

Specializing in tasteful & elegant cuisine, Catering Connection services events from Fundraisers, Company Picnics, Corporate Events to Weddings, Holiday Parties and Private Events.

Working with Catering Connections was a great experience. They were super receptive to all of our changes and requests and worked with us to get the exact menu that we wanted. They were really responsive and also great with helping us ensure that we had the correct rentals for the space as well! So many of our guests told us that they LOVED the food -- especially the cod and the churros, they were the biggest hits of the night!! We know how weddings can go, so we don't think it's a huge deal, but here are a few things that happened that resulted in a four star. Thankfully, none of the guests had any complications, but I'm not sure that the dietary restrictions were too carefully considered - the bride specifically called out a dietary restriction that she noticed when the first course came out, but obviously we aren't able to validate all of the meals. We were also told by guests that the meals took quite a long time to come out between the first and second course and lastly that the bartenders provided by the catering company didn't stir any of the drinks. All small, and overall a stellar experience but just a few things that we took into consideration for our review.

Heather made us the most stunning cake of our dreams for our wedding in mid-June of this year. She has such a wide variety of interesting and delicious flavors for cakes and she offers a great tasting option if you're curious. We went with an earl grey cake with a passion fruit curd and it was as delicious as it was pretty. She was also so amazing at creating the cake design that we wanted and even worked with us to find the perfect design that sort of married all of the designs we were looking it. She was great about asking us for our wedding vision boards and floral / colors as well so that she could make sure that the cake would tie in perfectly. Highly recommend her if you are looking for some really cool flavors and a really talented and sweet baker in the SB area.
