Olivia Wiley was a miracle worker for our December wedding. We were planning this from out of state and no matter what was needed, Olivia was there to help and direct. The Canary is fortunate to have such an all star as part of their team!

Sonya and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and memorable. Could not recommend this wedding venue enough. We had a beautiful and intimate beach ceremony of 30 guests. Our reception in the fireside ballroom was perfectly curated and the staff was lovely. Every one of our guests who stayed on site absolutely loved the hotel. We ate at Cafe Lido every day and it was so delicious, as was Costa Bar and Kitchen.

We held our small (approx 30 person) wedding reception at the Galleria at the Drift and had an amazing experience. The Drift provided wonderful cocktails and bartenders who did an excellent job for all our guests. For our group, we had enough room on the outside patio for our sit down dinner, a cake cutting area, bartender station and DJ area with the perfect amount of room to dance. We also stayed in the Penthouse at the Drift, which was a wonderful place for family and friends to gather the night before for drinks and snacks. The penthouse was spacious and provided indoor and outdoor seating. We would rate our experience a 10 out of 10. We used Barbareno for a family style sit down dinner--the food was outstanding. Richard Garcia was our DJ who did an incredible job providing cocktail, dinner and then dancing music. Also highly highly recommend Cynthia Signorelli, our wedding coordinator (an absolutely necessity), who made the entire wedding and reception completely seamless. We did not have to worry about a thing, as she coordinated all of the many different moving parts and made invaluable recommendations. We 100% enjoyed our special day. Thank you to the Drift Team for making our day so special!

Our whole experience with the staff here at the Ritz-Carlton, Bacara has been nothing but amazing! They helped us plan our wedding in less than two weeks for 13 of our closest family members. They helped us get rooms for everyone, a ceremony location, meals before and after the wedding, an amazing reception dinner, and pool time for everyone. It was difficult as this was our 4th attempt at planning a wedding during COVID, but they made it effortless, beautiful, and memorable! Thank you so much Angela, Dylan, and Steven! You made our wedding weekend perfect and we will definitely be back!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was pure magic. Our whole wedding was absolutely perfect. We were married in the Wine Cellar and had the reception in the Wine Cellar outside area under the twinkle light oak trees. Our guest said the food and wine was the best wedding food they have ever had and the service was incredible. Mauricio was on top of everything and made the whole night run smoothly. The location and grounds could not have set a more perfect scene for our romantic garden wedding.
