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!

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.

I have over 20 years of event and wedding planning and coordination ranging from small events to events that end with private fireworks. I specialize in Day of Coordination for weddings. My mission is for the bride and groom to completely enjoy the event and not be bothered by anything. My goal is that on the day of the event If there are any issues, you will not be aware. I am responsible to work with vendors and family to allow an effortless day for the couple.

Randy was such a joy to have as our day of coordinator. Not only did he take time ahead of the event to ask questions, and make sure he had all the details he needed to be successful, he has so much experience with events and catering he was a great person to bounce ideas and questions off of as we were getting all of our catering and rental contracts in order. On our actual wedding day, it’s hard to even describe what a pivotal role Randy played in making the whole thing such a huge success! He managed all the details perfectly to a T, including managing stressed family members and making sure we didn’t get pulled into any drama or questions from vendors or guests. I also love that he was willing to roll up his sleeves and be an extra pair of hands to our vendors in busy moments like bartending and making sure everything was cleaned/picked up before our venue deadline. Thank you Randy for making our day seriously effortless and fun!

With over 18 years of experience in the event industry, let me help you create, plan and coordinate the wedding or event of your dreams!

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!

Gracie is the absolute best to work with! I can't really say it enough. If you are looking for a wedding florist I would shout her name from the rooftops. We were lucky enough to meet with her in person before the big day and if you can I highly recommend! She is such a light and filled with the best and sweetest energy. From the very beginning she was so responsive and really got us excited about the florals for our special day. She worked WITH us and was so receptive to what our vision was. She was also so helpful with guiding us throughout the process and offered her opinions for design decisions outside of just florals. We were constantly re-affirmed that we had made the right decision. Also as a professional, she was great at helping you decide what florals were enough. I never felt like I was being forced out of my comfort zone and the conversation was always focused on how to make the wedding stunning while staying within the budget that we had told her. Then for the day of, we didn't worry at all about the florals and she made sure it all went out without a hitch! She dropped off the bouquet that day, even though she was so busy and you can tell that she really cares about all of her couples. When we got to the venue, I was so blown away. I still can't believe how brilliant they turned out. She was also super clear with us on what we could keep / give away and what we couldn't so that was really nice of her!!

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.

The day of crew was amazing too! We are obsessed with the photos and video, but most of all, can't stop talking about how easy they were to be around on such a big day. They were mellow, on top of it, professional, and their vibes helped us to stay calm and feel really present!

Augusta Ottillia Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Summerland, 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.

My husband and I were thrilled with our wedding venue at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. The staff communicated clearly and concisely throughout the planning process, which helped make organizing a breeze. The space itself is naturally gorgeous, with beautiful architecture, and charming historic details. It was incredibly spacious, allowing us to easily accommodate all of our guests.

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.
