5-star service at a place that makes you say WOW!

The Montecito Club is incredible in every way. It's a beautiful venue in SB with stunning views from the upper lawn where we had our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was quiet / peaceful during our ceremony, as MC club members were notified of a wedding. We looked at dozen of places, but as soon as we walked the upper lawn (for ceremony + cocktail hour), we knew it was right and we were blown away by the breathtaking views.

It fit the beachy, timeless elegance vibe we were envisioning for our wedding. Beyond the stunning views from The Lawn, they have multiple venue spaces for you to pick - we used the indoor ballroom for our reception/dinner and the rotunda room for dancing. Finally, the staff is all incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially Kim. I could not say enough good things about her; she's so helpful, kind, and went above and beyond on the day of our wedding. Also, the appetizers, dinner, and drinks were all phenomenal and with 5-star service. Montecito Club made our wedding day absolutely perfect, I only wish we could do it again!

What an amazing setting for our wedding reception. We loved the space and the staff was amazing and super accommodating. The views are incredible and there is so much flexibility in the space, with lots of different rooms you can utilize. It was so nice that they had the tables and chairs for our event too. They made our day just perfect.

We were thrilled by the Montecito Country Club as a venue for our wedding ceremony! Claire, the ceremony director, was amazing to work with and she was exceptionally kind, accommodating and fair throughout the entire process. The Club was absolutely gorgeous and allowed us to bring in some amazing floral arrangements, our own DJ, magician and entertainers. In particular, Claire helped us create a Kid Zone with a special menu, DVD's, babysitters and their own room, it was a great relief to my brothers and sisters who brought their children along. The Montecito Country Club is a wonderful blend of class, beauty, sophistication and fun! Also, amazingly, in contravention of our expectations, it proved to be one of the very best priced clubs in town. The food (filet, halibut or eggplant) was awesome, the atmosphere perfect and the service was great!

The MCC is the best kept secret in Santa Barbara. The view is breathtaking (your out of town guests will be drooling), the staff is professional and welcoming, and the value for the location is unheard of. From the tasting to the rehearsal to the ceremony prep and the reception, our day went flawlessly, and our guests had a fabulous time! We would book here again in a heartbeat!

Amazing venue for a beautiful day!

After extensive research, we settled on the Montecito Club. The team here was amazing — super responsive, flexible, and great to work with. The venue itself is absolutely spectacular — the ocean view and the newly renovated interiors made our wedding feel even more magical and grand than we could have even hoped! Kim, Bailee, Michael — they were all really thoughtful, compassionate, respectful, and kind through every step of the process. We are so happy we went with Montecito Club! Amazing venue.

Everything went beautifully and as planned. They club was very accommodating in letting us use whatever they had available as far as plants and flowers. Kendra was very responsive and was timely in getting back with us every time. The only hitch was that when our guests put the Club in their car GPS, it took them to the far back side of the property, which I believe is an emergency gate and was locked. I heard they are working to get the address noted properly on GPSs, but until then, I would recommend that one tells their guests that the entrance is off of Hot Springs Rd and to not rely on their navigation systems.

I highly recommend the Club for a wedding and it might even be more beautiful after their current remodel is completed.

Gorgeous place. Excellent staff. Nick and Kendra were epic with helping us make our dream come to life. Something i will always remember is how we arrived with a mobile of origami cranes to hang over the entrance to make a long story short it became severely tangled in transport to the point where not even Mc Guyver could have fixed it...Once i expressed its importance a staffer assured me she would try and make it work and must have sat and toiled with it for what i presume was over an hour and after the ceremony we walked in to see it hanging flawlessly right where we had envisioned it. What the staffer didn't know is that the cranes were part of a Japanese tradition that was important to us. It is said that a couple who take the time to hand make all of the cranes will last forever...or something like that...lol... the point is we spent countless hours making them and in doing so working on our relationship during the process and to see it hanging there was more than perfect. They went above and beyond to make our day special. Know that.
Thanks to all.

Known as one of the elite hidden crown jewels of Santa Barbara, Montecito Country Club offers an elegant quintessential Santa Barbara wedding experience for exceptional value. Conveniently located near many types of hotels and inns and nestled right in between the "Beverly Hills" of Santa Barbara- the quaint village of Montecito - and the world-renowned "Riviera of the United States", Santa Barbara, Montecito Country Club offers a sweeping panoramic view of the Santa Barbara coastline, harbor and Channel Islands for ceremonies and continues this view in the historic indoor venue where guests will enjoy cocktails, dinner and dancing overlooking Santa Barbara and the Pacific Ocean. As a Ty Warner property, sister property of the Four Seasons Biltmore, no attention to detail goes unnoticed in the creation of the menu and service level. The pricing and packages are surprisingly affordable. I can recommend Montecito Country Club without hesitation whenever someone is looking for top notch service, the quintessential Santa Barbara elegant wedding experience and value.

I get the opportunity to work at the Montecito Country Club a few times each year. The MCC is a favorite location for many reasons. It's super convenient for couple's and their guests, as the whole event, from getting dressed and ready, to the ceremony through the reception can happen here. There are many locations within the location to choose from for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. If on the odd chance SB is having a bad weather day, no problem to move it all inside. The staff at the club is very attentive and first class. The food and service are excellent. Everywhere you look is a pretty picture. Mountain and ocean views. Doesn't get better than that!
