Fantastic wedding!

The Santa Barbara Club was the absolute best place to have our wedding. My husband and I had our ceremony at the SB Courthouse and then paraded with all of our guests to the SB Club with our guitarist and lots of instruments for the guests.

Julie and Alejandra took care of us through almost 3 years of planning the wedding and remained calm through all of the COVID-required rescheduling. They are both very communicative, friendly and organized. Early on in the planning stages we had a very fun menu tasting where every single item was delicious.

Jackie and Tina were fantastic throughout the reception, as we all were leaving that evening, and met us the next morning so that we could pick up some items that were left behind.

The space is gorgeous and has two separate areas for the bride, groom and their attendants to get ready. The bartenders were quick to make great drinks and the food was delicious. Dancing under the stars was absolutely perfect. I wouldn't change a thing!

Santa Barbara's Best Hidden Gem Venue

There are so many things that I could say about the Santa Barbara Club - I don't know where to start. We had the most amazing, magical and gorgeous wedding. The service was top notch from the moment we arrived for our tour. Julie showed us around, she was immediately so warm and inviting, and then once we booked, Alejandra took over and guided us through the whole process very patiently, answering all our questions swiftly and with a smile.

We looked at several venues in the Santa Barbara area and this place was by far the best value with so much natural beauty. We were really looking for a place that didn't require a lot work, we wanted to keep things easy, and that's exactly what we got. They have beautiful chairs, linens, etc. and our guests couldn't stop complimenting how stunning the venue was and how curated it felt, but the truth is we just had great vendors and a great canvas! The yard and building are so beautiful that you hardly have to do a thing! We also got so many compliments on our food - many, many people said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. What a high compliment!

On top of everything else, they patiently worked with us as we rescheduled our wedding from Spring 2020 to Spring 2021 to Fall 2021. They never showed an ounce of frustration and only extended compassion. It was amazing to finally have our big day. The staff at the Santa Barbara Club were amazing from top to bottom - I wish we could get married there every year! I absolutely encourage any couple to go with the Club for their big day! Huge thanks to Julie, Alejandra and everyone there!

Incredible Venue & Team!

I spent a lot of time looking at wedding venue options and my fiancé and I toured a ton of venues. We had a bunch of tours lined up since we don't live in the area and SB Club was not one of them (somehow I never came across it in my search). We were disappointed in venues we thought we'd love so when we stopped for a coffee break in SB, I did a quick phone search and noticed there was a venue we were walking distance to that had great reviews - SB Club! We stumbled in and Alejandra happened to be free to show us around.

We immediately fell in love with the space, the character of the venue, the amazing food and incredible staff. Many other venues felt like wedding factories but SB Club is very intimate, special and unique. It's definitely a hidden gem in the heart of downtown SB. We were going to get married there on August 15 2020 but due to coronavirus, we had to postpone to May 2021. Julie and Alejandra have been very responsive and accommodating during this crazy time. I've heard a lot of horror stories about how venues are handling covid and I'm grateful we put our trust into SB Club.

Right before everything shut down, we had our tasting and it met our high standards as we are self-proclaimed foodies. We can't wait for our special day but are so thankful that the staff at SB Club has made this stressful time easier for us. Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Santa Barbara Club is a beautiful wedding venue! I had my wedding there in 2015 and guests are still talking about it! From the professional service of the staff who are so friendly and accommodating to the amazing food to the beautiful design of the indoor and outdoor space, we couldn't have made a better choice for our big day! Great location in downtown Santa Barbara makes it easy to get around and enjoy everything the city has to offer. I highly recommend The SB Club and as a Wedding Planner, I refer many couples to them when they are looking for a venue that is classy, private and has a lot of character. It has something different to offer that everyone can enjoy.
