My husband and I were recently married had our reception here. Maria Svensson was instrumental in helping create our perfect day. Due to our schedule, we organized our entire wedding remotely with Maria's help. There was absolutely no detail that could have been improved upon. The entire hotel staff were remarkable. From the valets, to the front desk, the staff at our cocktail hour and the service during our reception. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel like we were hosting an event in the comfort of our home. Our guests could not stop commenting on our choices for hors d'oeuvres, and later our dinner service. The chef was exceptional.
The following day we enjoyed brunch at the hotel and it was divine. We celebrated our first day as husband and wife with a spa day there as well. At one point we were sipping champagne in front of the fireplace with the doors open, listening to both the rain and the ocean waves- it was heavenly. We look forward to celebrating here for many years to come. Thank you to everyone who made our experience so memorable!

Ultra-premium everything!
My wife and I recently got married at this beautiful resort. The entire process, from when we initially scoped the venue all the way until we checked out of our room the day after the wedding, was absolutely seamless. Our main point of contact at the resort was Andrea Wang. Andrea is incredibly professional and completely on top of, and thoughtful, about every single detail. She took very good care of my wife and I and made us feel very special throughout our wedding experience. We continue to receive many compliments about the Biltmore staff from our wedding guests. Ultra-premium location, venue, staff, and overall operation. Highly recommended!

Bella Vista and The Four Seasons Resort Made Our Wedding Very Memorable!
On June 2019, my fiance (now husband) and I arranged our quick wedding ceremony with about 20 people across the street from The Four Seasons Biltmore in front of the beach. Afterwards, we had happy hour at The Tydes Restaurant (owned by The Four Seasons) and then dinner at Bella Vista Restaurant. It was ALL FABULOUS, dreamy and the most memorable day of our lives ! This wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the fabulous staff at The Four Seasons, Bella Vista Restaurant and The Tydes Restaurant!
We worked with Samantha Staskus (Food & Beverage Supervisor,) Daniel Almada (Restaurant Manager) and Andreza Holt (Restaurant Manager). They made it very efficient and easy to plan our special day with us...from suggesting the exact spot for the ceremony, to selecting dinner entree choices, to booking a special suite for the honeymoon and even designing the wedding cake which they baked and designed onsite (as they have a pastry chef onsite!) The cake alone was delicious, deluxe, beautifully designed and reasonably priced for 30 servings (we used real 24 gold foil, marbled fondant, edible chocolate shells which they made onsite, as well as real shells for display - see photos!) In addition, The Four Seasons Biltmore offered FREE valet which was available for us and our guests as we had reservations at Bella Vista and we also stayed at the hotel for one night.
They handled everything with class and efficiency! This is why we will be coming back for our 1st year anniversary AND we will continue to recommend this resort to our friends and family for your memorable events!! Thank you, Samantha, Daniel and Andreza, from the bottom of our hearts for your friendliness, talent and most of all, your FANTASTIC concierge service! The food, champagne and the ambiance was top notch! You all are THE BEST in Santa Barbara!!
