Sara A. Sent on 04/24/2024Best Wedding Planner in Montecito
Hannah and the KB Events team were incredible to work with and our wedding went flawlessly start to finish with everything in her hands at the Rosewood in Montecito. We hired the team 1+ year before as an end planner, but Hannah stepped in right from the beginning staying organized on our contracts, vendors, available for all questions, pushing timeline reminders to us, and helping introduce recommendations as needed. She stayed positive the entire process, volunteered her time to come to our tasting and walk through in advance, and took over full control the wedding day. She was responsive, proactive on all vendor needs, and needless to say we were able to be fully present and enjoy our day with our vision and details in her hands. -

Ron Sent on 04/06/2024The Right Professional Wedding/Event Team for a Unique Ranch Venue!
We recently had the pleasure to work with the KB Events team, engaged as the wedding planners, for an event held at our ranch in Carpinteria. Owners Katie and Adam were incredible planners and managers of every detail as they created a flawless wedding event. The ranch is unique with several creek crossings and unique characteristics that might otherwise make an event for nearly 300 people challenging, but KB worked with all their vendors, professionally directing every detail of the event to perfection! The newly weds indicated to me that it was an event beyond their greatest expectation! This husband-wife team together with their assistant, were hands-on and a true delight to work with and we look forward to having them back as wedding/event planners for more events at The Rincon Creek Ranch! -

10/10 - Thank you KB Events!
Katie and Adam are a dynamic duo. They helped bring my wedding vision to life and if I were to go back in time, I'd choose their services again.
I live in a different state than where I got married which made me nervous to plan a wedding, but Katie and Adam alleviated any concerns that I had. They were fast and responsive and helped answer all of my questions via email or call. The wedding day was smooth and they ensured that we were fed and hydrated throughout the entire evening. They coordinated everything with the vendors and I didn't have to do a thing! I can't thank KB events enough. Thank you for being part of such a special moment of my life. -

Wonderful :)
Professional, Organized, and Experienced. How lucky we are to have had Katie and Adam plan our wedding. They guided us on an eleven month journey, from our first time meeting to our wedding day, and catered to us every chance they could along the way. I am forever thankful for their time and dedication. -

Best Wedding Ever Thanks to KB Events!
We are so thankful to have worked with KB Events for our winter wedding! I come from experience in the events industry and have had the privilege of working with KB Events in the past - they are fantastic vendors to work with. When it came time for my own wedding, I knew exactly who would be the perfect planning team for our day. Katie and Adam are kind hearted people with a passion for weddings. Their organization, critical thinking, and diligent responses were beyond appreciated during the planning stages. When it came down to hard decisions to make and last minute weather changes, we felt so comfortable with KB Events handling those decisions for us. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better without the help from this team. If you want to feel stress free the days leading up to your wedding, I highly recommend hiring a planner, especially KB Events. We are forever grateful. -

Hannah K. Sent on 12/19/2023KB Events makes dreams come true!
Katie, Adam and the KB Events team made our dreams come true.
When my now-husband (!) and I decided to get married in California - where I’m originally from and where my family still lives - we were daunted by the prospect of planning a wedding from the other side of the country (we live on the East Coast). That trepidation dissipated as soon as we contacted KB Events.
We had talked to a few other individuals and companies in the early stages of exploring the possibility of hiring planners to help with our wedding. None of them treated us with the care and respect that Katie and Adam did when we first spoke with them, before we had even signed a contract. We knew they were really something special when, in the time between my inquiry email and our introductory call with them, they had already managed to place a soft hold on our first choice venue, on our first choice date - a venue that to this point, we had not been able to get ahold of! They made us feel like their only clients - a theme that carried through until our wedding day. They listened to what we were looking to do and offered ways to make it happen. Katie and Adam prioritized taking our ideas and making them a reality. I really wanted to highlight the charm of Santa Barbara with our wedding details, and the final result was better than I could have ever imagined (the lemons! The olive oil! The TROLLEY!)
Katie and Adam laid out a timeline for all the key milestones we would need to hit leading up to our wedding, accounting for every major (venue, date, florist) and minor (silverware selection, placement of napkins) detail. They served as the primary point of contact for each of our vendors, which paved the way for us to spend less time fretting about administrative details and more time making decisions.
The best compliment I can give Katie and Adam is that, throughout the 18 months we worked with them to plan our wedding, we never once felt stressed. They were proactive to keep us on deadline and help us stay ahead of budgeting, which allowed us to enjoy every aspect of the wedding planning process – something we recognize not everyone can say about their wedding planning experience.
It may sound cheesy, but we consider Katie and Adam our friends now, and we can’t wait to continue bugging them to hang out with us whenever we’re in town. -

Simply the best - hire them now!
KB Events is hands down simply the best! We were planning a destination wedding in Santa Barbara and after my first phone call with Katie I immediately called my fiancé and told him I found our wedding planners. We worked with Hannah to plan our wedding and she was a dream. She answered our emails immediately, followed up with any questions or requests we had and made this Type A bride feel completely understood and at ease. Although we worked with Hannah almost exclusively, Katie and Adam were also there to help or answer questions if we needed them. They work as an amazing team and made our event go off without any issues (or if there were issues I didn’t know about them). If you’re still reading this review and haven’t hired KB Events stop reading immediately and go hire them now! My only regret is not hiring them for the full wedding planning process, they are worth it! -

Christina W. Sent on 09/20/2023Fantastic Wedding Planning Team!!
Katie and Adam were absolutely wonderful to work with in the process of planning our wedding! They were incredibly professional, kind, and such a calming presence during the whole process. They made our wedding day flow absolutely seamlessly and I received so many comments from family and friends about how easy they made everything feel. They made sure our event was executed perfectly, were on top of every vendor, and gave us incredible suggestions throughout the process. They also continued to check in throughout the wedding day to ensure we were taken care of and feeling good! They are also extremely knowledgeable about Santa Barbara and made me feel so at ease. I can't thank them or recommend working with them enough!! -

Angelina S. Sent on 09/02/2023A stellar team that made our wedding day perfect!
We can not say enough wonderful things about Katie and Adam with KB Events. Aside from just being gracious people, they are absolutely the best team we could have ever chosen to work with. My husband and I had pretty busy lives as it was so the thought of planning a destination wedding was very overwhelming. Admittedly we procrastinated quite a bit but KB Events is so dialed in and organized on another level that they kept us on track and enabled us to create the most perfect day. They truly helped to alleviate so much stress that we were able to work through all the nuances and details that comes with wedding planning without any added gray hair. Katie and Adam far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning they were exceptional with their communication and recommendations, they helped us manage our budget, vendor coordination (which is a profession in itself), and created the most detailed day of wedding timeline I could have imagined. And one of my personal favorite things about them being a husband and wife team is that they both offer different insights, advice and ideas that really helped us pull together our vision. They are true professionals and great at what they do.I think it speaks volumes that if there were any disasters the day of the wedding whether it was design flaws, issues with vendors or guests, food, or even the crazy windy day we had, we still have no idea. The day went off without a hitch. Katie and Adam are the best and made our day simply perfect.

Patrick Sent on 07/30/2023Dynamic Elegance Perfected by KB Events
Katie and Adam from KB Events were the wedding planners for our wedding at Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara, CA. We cannot express enough how grateful we are for their patience, availability, and attention to detail that they both brought throughout the planning process. They were always so responsive to our questions and requests, and they went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was perfect.
//
They were always on top of things, and they made sure that our vendors were also aware of our specific needs. This made us feel confident that everything would be taken care of on the day of the wedding. One of the things that we appreciated most about KB Events was their ability to follow up with our vendors to communicate our preferences/adjustments and ensure that everything was running smoothly. One of many examples of this was Adam working with the vendors to get our hedges just right to optimize the ambience and privacy of our cocktail hour.
//
KB Events created a relaxed and organized flow for our wedding day. This allowed us to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about anything. A small example highlighting this was Katie ensuring that we had a private moment to pause, eat and drink between the end of the ceremony and joining the cocktail reception with our guests.
//
We are so grateful to Katie and Adam for all of their hard work and dedication in planning our wedding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and they made our wedding day truly memorable.
//
In summary, Katie and Adam went above and beyond for us:
They helped us to find the perfect vendors for our wedding, and they negotiated or communicated requests on our behalf; they created a detailed timeline for our wedding day, and they made sure that everything was on track; they handled all of the behind-the-scenes details, so that we could focus on enjoying our wedding day; they were always available to answer our questions and address our concerns; they went out of their way to make sure that our wedding day was perfect.
//
We would highly recommend KB Events to anyone who is planning a wedding. They are professional, organized, and they have a great eye for detail. They will make sure that your wedding day is everything you have ever dreamed of. -

HANDS DOWN -- BEST wedding planning team in Santa Barbara!
The team at KB Events are the BEST wedding planners you could ever ask for to plan your wedding.
From the planning-side, they are responsive, organized, good at keeping you on track, and very well connected to the vendor community in Santa Barbara. We've had vendors immediately agree to work with us because we have KB Events as our planner!
On the execution side, they are very thorough and thoughtful in their approach to making sure you have the best event you and your guests could ever ask for. From having the opportunity to stage our table setting beforehand, to the venue walk through that they organize for all our vendors, to the video sessions where we went through every single detail of our wedding with them, and countless other examples, every step of the way we felt very well taken care of.
I can't tell you the number of guests that have told us that our wedding was one of the best that they've ever been to (seamless, clearly well organized, beautiful, etc.), and it all wouldn't have been possible without Hannah, Katie & the rest of the team at KB Events. Without hesitation I will recommend the team to everyone I know that is looking for a wedding event planner. -

Drew Y. Sent on 05/25/2023KB Events is the right choice!
Katie and Adam were the rock and foundation of our entire planning process from when we found them! Our wedding day would have not been possible without them. We had the day of planner package, but they gave us calls and meeting when we needed them. They'd responded to our questions quickly when we had them,. They gave us recommendations of vendors for that were within our budget, and took over communications with them before the wedding. They made timelines for us and worked through all the fine details of the day. On Wedding day, they made sure everything was taken care of for set up and ensured all of our personnel items we provided were set up. They made sure we ate, and ensured we stayed on time for the next event of the evening. They were calm and helped us stay calm on the last minute changes that came up day of the wedding. It was amazing to let our guest know that we were taken care of the day of the wedding and that if they had a question, they could ask the wedding planners. All of this to say, they made the wedding planning process so much better and less stressful, and day of we did not have to worry about a thing! You should consider this amazing team for your wedding! -

Katie and Adam are 10-star wedding planners. We recently hosted our wedding at the SB Courthouse followed by an evening at El Paseo for 110 friends and family and it went without issue. To every question their answer is: yes, we'll make it happen; and they do. When we wanted lion dancers, boom, they know a group. When I wanted to celebrate birthdays at the wedding, Katie responded: how many candles. They know Santa Barbara, they know the vendors, they know the good and the bad of each space. They communicate with clarity. They are consummate pros and I recommend them without reservation. Please ask Katie and Adam for my contact info if you'd like to talk further. -

Our advice is simple! Don't wait another second to lock in Katie and Adam for your wedding.
We booked their full-service option and can't say enough good things about our journey with KB Events. From our initial consultation in December 2021 to our wedding in April 2023, Katie and Adam were with us every step of the way for 16 months. We got married at Alisal Ranch in Solvang, CA, and the wealth of experience that KB Events brought to the table – both behind the scenes and with all the moving pieces that are in a wedding – always made us feel supported. We are so grateful to have found them.
Katie and Adam are incredibly responsive – not only to your communications (we sent them hundreds of emails, and every single one got a timely response) but also to your vision of your big day. Katie and Adam never stopped listening to us, adapting to our (many) changes and requests, or working tirelessly to ensure our wedding went smoothly (which it did, thanks to them).
What's more, Katie and Adam are kind, patient, and calm (qualities that could not have been more valuable throughout this process), extremely detail-oriented, and simply wonderful to talk and plan with. They consistently lowered our blood pressure, and we looked forward to every conversation with them as a result.
Partnering with Katie and Adam was the single best decision we made since choosing to get married. We hope you get to go on the same sort of journey with them as we did. -

KB Events is first class. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Katie and Adam perfectly executed our wedding at the Rosewood Miramar in Montecito, and I do not have enough words to express my gratitude. Our wedding rehearsal and wedding was absolutely seamless and perfect. Katie and Adam were attentive, extremely polite, professional and always one step ahead. They made excellent decisions on the day of our wedding when changes had to be made, and always kept me up to date, and did it so delicately. My grandmother suddenly passed during our rehearsal ceremony and Katie and Adam were there for me and my family. They are true humans with extremely large hearts. With them by our side, it made such a tough day easier for me any my family. Katie and Adam are also excellent storytellers. The next morning I woke up to a beautiful montage of pictures and videos that they shared with me from our special day, which brought a smile during a very difficult time for me.
I highly recommend them for your event and know you will be in perfect hands. -

Katie and Adam were the wedding planner dream team. Thanks to KB events, our special day went off without a hitch. The "month of" coordinating package we chose comes with so much more than help during the final month alone. Katie and Adam set us up with planning resources, a wedding day timeline, and were there to answer our questions all along the way. They're incredibly professional and experienced. They helped us work through a last-minute DJ cancellation, set up our decor flawlessly, and Katie had a safety pin ready to go immediately when my dress strap broke during some especially enthusiastic dancing during the reception.
You'll be in great hands with KB! -

It was an absolute 10/10 experience working with Katie and Adam!! We decided on their partial planning package and felt SO taken care of through the entire process. They executed our vision to a T, thinking of the smallest details but also deftly handling our very enthusiastic crowd the day of. They helped pick all of our vendors for us, provided us with an incredibly detailed to-do list, kept us on time for everything, offered creative solutions to any problems that came up, helped me shop for the small details (guestbook, signage, etc), and took over all vendor communication for us a few months prior to the wedding.
A few of the other vendors even commented on how organized kb events are - their reputation precedes them! Our venue was the opposite of all inclusive (ie - bring your own restrooms, trash, heaters, catering kitchen, etc.) and they made it all so manageable. Their timeline became our BIBLE in the weeks leading up to the big day, and they absolutely nailed execution of all of our plans the day of (champagne tower, setting up escort cards, adjusting tables so we had more room for dancing, etc.) You will love working with them! -

The best. Katie and Adam were the very first people we talked to about helping create our Wedding Weekend and it wouldn't have been amazing without them. KB Events helped us for 18 months plan our Santa Barbara wedding with extra communication as we live in Texas. Almost every vendor we went with was one of their recommendations (and were all fantastic). They provide all the visionary, heart-warming conversations you think about when you begin wedding planning, and back it up with extremely detailed communication, to the minute timelines, budget tracking, etc. On the day of, it was bliss. We didn't worry about a single thing, they had it all covered. Simply cannot recommend them enough. If you're reading this, I'm sure you have other options, but you can also choose KB Events and never look back.
