Julie, Alejandra, and the entire team at Santa Barbara Club were absolutely legendary.
From start to finish, they were communicative, organized, transparent, and truly incredible to work with. They handled everything so seamlessly that we had literally nothing to worry about. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because we knew we were in the best hands.
They are fair and transparent with pricing, and you can tell they genuinely care about delivering an exceptional experience. Our guests could not stop talking about how perfect the venue was. It’s unique and trendy without feeling corporate or overdone — our guests were in awe the entire night.
The staff executed everything flawlessly. There was not a single hiccup on our wedding day. We spent the entire day there — from getting ready in the morning to our final exit — and it was truly perfect.
And the food… WOW. They are known for their food, and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. We received countless compliments from our guests — it was hands down one of the highlights of the night.
Stunning. Perfect. Everything we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful to the Santa Barbara Club team for making our day unforgettable.

My son was married at the SB Club on 8/23/25. I couldn't have been more thrilled with this venue. First, I chose one of the wedding planners on their list, Zohe Felici of Felici Events. She has done hundreds of events here and I believe this relationship helped tremendously with planning. The club has a very reasonable price for renting the space and its natural beauty means you do not need much to enhance the space, unlike other venues. The string outside lighting, outside seating, and dining table and chairs all included and you can use their linens if you choose. These are big savings. But it is the outstanding food and drink that is a game changer. When did you last go to a wedding and actually rave about the food! Their service is seamless, quiet, professional. We made some last minute requests and changes and they were very accommodating. Alejandra, our coordinator, answered emails instantly and led us through meal tasting and appetizer choices expertly. They have an extensive wine and liquor list and can advise for all your choices. There are many choices that can fit a variety of budgets. We used the outdoor space for our wedding and it was beyond beautiful. Green lush grounds and plants, magestic trees, brick patio and fountain for cocktails and later dancing. Everything was on time and done without you noticing. One minute we were sitting in chairs for the ceremony and the next they were taken down and all the dinner tables were out while we enjoyed cocktail hour. This receives my highest recommendation. A hidden gem in our community.

We had the most amazing August wedding at the Santa Barbara Club! If you’re considering it for your wedding, look no further. This is it! From our first tour with Julie to the planning process with Alejandra, the team was warm, responsive, and a true pleasure to work with. We had exactly 100 guests, and the space felt perfect for that size.

What we loved:
- Ideal “backyard garden party” vibe right in the heart of SB, making it easy for guests to get to and from. No need to pay for shuttles which was a huge win for our budget!
- Backyard feels like a private oasis—quiet, beautifully landscaped, and neutral enough to work with any color palette.
- The venue comes with SO much, which was incredibly helpful since we were planning from NY. We used their tables, chairs, and dinnerware. We rented 3 farm tables for our head table, table cloths and napkins from Bright Rentals.
- The food and drinks were AMAZING! We did a buffet, which moved quickly and served generous portions (our guests still rave about it).
- Flexibility! Pre-ceremony drinks, tray-passed, signature cocktails, and extending to 11 PM were all possible (but with extra cost).
- Great flow between ceremony lawn, brick patio, indoor dance floor, and bar (which was basically on the dance floor, a huge win for a successful dance party!). Was a bit nervous about flipping the ceremony space for dinner but happened so quick, nobody even noticed.
- Quick and thoughtful communication every step of the way. We felt very well supported.
- Spacious upstairs getting-ready suite with drinks and snacks provided—a huge help for a long day.

A few things to know:
- Menu tasting is only included for two people, and extra guests are an added charge. We were a bit disappointed by this given the overall cost of the wedding. But when we expressed this to Alejandra she was very understanding and helped us find a way to have our family included without the extra cost.
- You can’t leave anything overnight, so you'll need to plan for same-night pickup which is typically a higher cost for rental companies.
- We got feedback from a few guests that one staff member was a bit unfriendly towards the end of the night. She also sadly cut off our final song because we were 2 minutes passed 11pm. Was a little disappointing but our guests ended up singing our final song, which turned it into a pretty epic final moment.

Overall, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. The space, the food, the team—it was all incredible. We truly wish we could do it all over again and can’t recommend the Santa Barbara Club enough!

The Santa Barbara Club is a hidden gem of a venue, one that my husband and I were fortunate to discover through word-of-mouth! From contract signature to the wedding day, we were met every step of the way with the kindness and professionalism of Alejandra and her team. This dream of a venue provides high-quality catering, linens, tables, chairs, place settings, space to get ready, and so much more. We didn't have to bring in any rentals, which was a huge relief. With the Santa Barbara Club you receive the unique aesthetic balance of a classic country club and a beautiful English Garden all in one space. We had 130 guests roughly.

I also want to take a moment to say that the food served at the venue is so good, that we received very very high praise from our guests (some saying it was the best meal they'd ever had at a wedding ever)! My husband and I are foodies and so quality of food was a top priority for us.

We will always have a special place in our hearts for The Santa Barbara Club. They helped to create a dream wedding for us and we will always have such positive memories of the day.

Santa Barbara Club was perfect in every way for our wedding. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and staff to work with. We picked Santa Barbara Club because of the amazing reviews on how amazing their food was. Food was always at the top of our priority list and SBC delivered. Every single one of our guests complimented on how amazing the food was and how professional the staff were. "Best wedding food ever" "5-star service all around"

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!

My daughter recently got married at the SB Club & we couldn't have been more pleased. Alejandra, Julie & Tina were extremely attentive & professional. They provided so much that we did not have to deal with ordering linens, china or chairs, etc. & as well as including a private parking lot. The garden is beautiful with white lights everywhere, intimate, & so perfectly situated downtown that our guests had easy access to all the attractions that Santa Barbara has to offer. My daughter & her husband loved the fact that they could continue to celebrate indoors from 10 pm to 12 am with their DJ & a bar, which is a unique amenity here in Santa Barbara. We also got rave reviews about the quality of their food. Their comprehensive service made our event as stress free as it could be.

Alejandra at SBC was a dream - she worked with us to create a dream day and was incredibly flexible rescheduling our 2020 wedding multiple times. We had many questions, especially navigating COVID restrictions and a completely different wedding from what we originally envisioned, and Alejandra was patient and incredibly helpful. The day of, our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and how seamless everything went, and how it was such a fun wedding and beautiful venue. Thank you SBC!

After two years of postponements, we finally had our May wedding at the Santa Barbara Club, and it was above and beyond what we could have expected when we booked it back in 2019. Julie and Alejandra were incredibly helpful, prompt, and professional, and the Club staff did an incredible job with everything. The food was incredible, the setting was perfect, and it was the completely hassle-free experience we were hoping for. Excellent venue, excellent experience.

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!
