Happy & Helpful
I am a catering event planner and supervisor and recently had the pleasure of working with Christina for a large wedding here in Santa Barbara. I was very impressed with her calm and collected attitude throughout the whole planning process. She was always available whenever I had any questions and was always very sweet to interact with. On the day of, her team was super helpful in working with my team and the event ran flawlessly. I would refer Christina to any of my future brides that want a relaxed and happy vibe when planning their wedding.

Highly Recommended
We were so fortunate to have been linked up with Jen and the White Sage team! Jen helped us navigate all the many details of wedding planning that we never would have thought of, with quick replies to our questions during the planning process. We loved her no-pressure approach and how supportive and open she was in helping us do whatever was right for us (and, perhaps most importantly, not doing what wasn't!)
She was especially helpful in the weeks leading up to our wedding when she led communications with all of our vendors. Most of all, her day-of services and coordination left us very relaxed and with little to worry about! Definitely recommend!We were so fortunate to have been linked up with Jen and the White Sage team!

Amazing experience working with Brooke and team!
I can’t recommend Brooke and her team at White Sage enough! We initially got in touch with Brooke when we were considering planning a bespoke wedding in a remote location in Cuyama Valley. Over time, as our priorities shifted and we realized how challenging this would be to execute, Brooke was incredibly flexible, agile, and supportive as we completely changed the vision of our wedding to a hotel in Santa Barbara. No matter what our vision was, she was there to support us and figure out what our path forward would look like.
In the early stages of planning, when we had a difficult time deciding between venues, she provided us with detailed line-by-line projected expenses and pros and cons of each. Through you the entire process, she never hesitated to be honest with us (which we needed!) and always went above and beyond to help make our vision come to life.
To this day, I’m still emotional when I think about how everything came together perfectly on the day of, all thanks to Brooke. There’s a photo of me reacting to the way the reception space came together and it’s a snapshot of pure joy. and By the end of the process, we felt like we were besties with Brooke.I can’t recommend Brooke and her team at White Sage enough!

White Sage is Amazing
Not only is Brooke Baker a wonderful woman, but she the entire White Sage Team is flawless. I have always heard that planning a wedding is one of the most stressful times of your life. Brooke took all of that stress away. She was always open and honest with any idea that I had and made sure that I always stayed on schedule so I never had to stress about anything. From the beginning to the end, Brooke was always there and always amazing. If I could give more stars I would.

They Won't Disappoint
Brooke and the White Sage Wedding crew helped us plan our perfect day within about 6 months. She was extremely patient with my family and flexible. If anything was needed she was there to assist and once we were in the home stretch, she made sure every little detail was taken care of. Our day was beautiful, romantic, and so special and I definitely thank Brooke for making sure everything ran soo smoothly. Bonus: She has wizard fingers when it comes to helping with complicated dress designs. lolBrooke and the White Sage Wedding crew helped us plan our perfect day within about 6 months.

White Sage Weddings is the Best!
Brooke and her team go above and beyond! They made planning our wedding fun and enjoyable. My wedding day was so seamless because they were there to set everything up and organize the day. She focuses on the tiny details and will make sure everything is perfect the day of. I tell everyone that the first thing you should do after getting engaged is reach out to her team. They help to guide you every step of the way through planning and designing as well as source everything to make sure you get the most out of your money. She made all of my visions come to life. Highly recommend working with the White Sage Weddings team!Brooke and her team go above and beyond! They made planning our wedding fun and enjoyable.

White Sage Review
My daughter-in-law chose Brooke Baker (White Sage) as her wedding planner. I assisted my daughter-in-law with the planning, so I had the pleasure of working with Brooke. She was always professional and very helpful. She kept us on task, worked on every detail, and was always willing to go the extra mile. The day of the wedding was exactly what my daughter-in-law envisioned thanks to Brooke! She took care of everything, so we were able to enjoy not just the wedding, but the whole weekend. I would highly recommend White Sage to anyone who wants their dream wedding to become a reality!My daughter-in-law chose Brooke Baker (White Sage) as her wedding planner.

Hiring White Sage for our wedding was the best decision!
My husband, Jesse, and I got married June 28, 2019 at the Topa Mountain Winery in Ojai, California. With a background in events, I planned on handling the entire wedding myself, but our venue required a day of coordinator. While we hadn’t originally budgeted for a planner, we are so happy we used White Sage! After numerous conversations with overpriced planners, we began to get really nervous that a planner wouldn’t fit in our budget. Luckily, I received Brooke’s name from our florist, Ojai Blooms. They mentioned they worked with her often and that she and her team were “incredible”. From the moment we spoke with Brooke, we knew she was the perfect fit for our big day. She was professional, yet relaxed, extremely knowledgeable and from the start, very helpful with all of our questions. We hired her as our 30-day coordinator after our first conference call, but after it was all said and done, our only regret is not hiring her to help with the whole planning process. She’s THAT GOOD!
We loved that Brooke and her team were available and willing to help at any time. You can tell she and her team know what they are doing and Brooke always made us feel comfortable with our planning decisions. Jesse and I loved that Brooke was direct, yet kind and enthusiastic. She always had our best interest at heart and genuinely cared that we had the “best day ever” which we definitely did!
Overall, our experience with White Sage was fantastic. On our wedding day, we both kept commenting on how Brooke and her team were always a step ahead. If anything came up, which is bound to happen, one of her team members was on it immediately. Jesse and I were able to sit back and enjoy our day completely! I would highly recommend White Sage to any couple getting married especially if they want to have an amazing and stress-free wedding day!My husband, Jesse, and I got married June 28, 2019 at the Topa Mountain Winery in Ojai, California.

The best money we spent on our wedding!
We could not have imagined having a more perfect day than our wedding day, and that is a huge thanks to Brooke and the rest of the White Sage team! Having had to navigate the ups and downs through Covid, our experience throughout the entire process was effortless, communicative and thorough. Never once did we feel that we didn't know what was happening or when something needed to happen in the planning process. If I could recommend one suggestion for anyone planning a wedding, it's to hire a skilled wedding planner like Brooke! It was the best money we spent, and we loved working with her and will miss her vibrant smile!We could not have imagined having a more perfect day than our wedding day, and that is a huge thanks to Brooke and the rest of the White Sage team!

Amazing! Made our wedding so special
Brooke, Arden and the entire White Sage team were INCREDIBLE while we planned and then re-planned our wedding twice throughout the pandemic. Brooke was so responsive, knowledgeable, kind and worked so hard to help our vision come to life. Our big day was so magical, due in large part to Brooke and her team's hard work. Wish we could do it all over again!

Experienced, creative, collaborative and a dream to work with. I’ve been recommending Sage to all my engaged friends.
I can’t recommend Sage enough. Sage (Brooke was our point person) was a true partner as we changed our venue and the scope of our wedding and had a few changes to our plans as we discovered what we wanted for our dream wedding. Brooke helped us all along the way and contributed really smart ideas that made a HUGE difference in our wedding.I can’t recommend Sage enough.

Organized, efficient and personalized
Brooke facilitated an amazing experience for us, we had a beautiful wedding and our guests had a blast! She helped me stay on track with every detail that I would have never even thought of, made the planning process easy for us, and accommodated our changes and specifics (such as a large children’s play area set up/take-down at the reception!) with ease. Our actual wedding day was seamless and she made it so that we could just enjoy the moment and didn’t have to think about any logistics! She had great recommendations and collaboration with all of our vendors.

Amazing attention to detail and lovely team to work with
Brooke and her team were amazing from start to finish. From their initial consultation, I could immediately tell that White Sage was focused on the every single detail -- they weren't going to let anything slip through the cracks, which was very important to me. Her response time on email/text was almost immediate, making me feel at ease that every thing was going to be taken care of. Brooke is also very well versed in the wedding industry and knows what it takes to plan a heck of a party. What more could you want?! If you're looking for a great lady team based out of Ojai for your central coast wedding needs - hire White Sage now!Brooke and her team were amazing from start to finish.

You want White Sage to plan your wedding!
We (we being me the bride, my now-husband, and my parents who were involved in the planning process) chose White Sage Wedding because we believed Brooke was savvy, grounded, compassionate, and hard-working. And we were right--Brooke was the planner we dreamed of and more. I met Brooke when I was feeling particularly overwhelmed by the pressure of making so many decisions with such high price tags attached to them, and with loads of emotional and social expectations in tow. Brooke listened. She integrated what she heard from us about our concerns, intentions and values and reflected them back in a wedding planning process that was in deep alignment with who we are and what we wanted. She communicated clearly, with grace and tact. And she brought a sense of stability and reason into a process that can easily feel like it's spiraling out of control. After our first meeting, I remember my parents saying, "Wow, thank goodness for Brooke." We ended up saying that a lot. We got the feeling that Brooke brought her full self to the work of planning a wedding, and in doing so, also brought an endless seeming amount of joy, enthusiasm and positivity. She was remarkably organized and an expert project and budget manager. She broke big tasks out into manageable to dos, and set deadlines so we stayed on track. She helped us evaluate what was worth spending money on, providing pros and cons for decisions, but never letting us spiral into decision analysis. She always brought us back to our values and our priorities. Brooke was our advocate at every stage. She helped us identify an amazing set of vendors, from our photographer and videographer to our florist. When our venue fell through, and we made a mid-point call to move the wedding to a different city, Brooke traveled with us to venue shop with us. We went from a backyard wedding to a weekend-long destination wedding. Brooke took on this planning challenge with confidence and generosity. Our day was beyond anything any of us could have ever dreamed it was. And it was that way thanks to so much of Brooke’s hard work. She and her assistant, Haley, were so gracious and made all of our family and friends feel cared for. Most of all, she cared for us and our experience. We were able to be so present for our day because we trusted and saw how beautifully and diligently Brooke and Haley executed it. Brooke is the person you want driving you down to the ceremony site, as emotion and anticipation course through you. She’s the person you want to call when your guests pull some crazy shenanigan. She’s the person you want looking out for you on one of the most meaningful days of your life.We (we being me the bride, my now-husband, and my parents who were involved in the planning process) chose White Sage Wedding because we believed Brooke was savvy, grounded, compassionate, and hard-working.

Love White Sage!!
We had our hearts set on getting married in Ojai, but we had been struggling to find a venue there that suited our budget and our sensibilities. We came across White Sage while browsing Instagram and we loved that they were local to Ojai and also seemed to have a beautiful aesthetic. When we met Brooke over drinks we immediately loved her. It was like reuniting with an old friend. She was so kind and open and easy to talk to and made us both feel like the things we wanted were completely attainable. She helped us find our dream venue with her local Ojai connections. We had been searching for a place for over two years and Brooke helped us find a place within weeks. Brooke and her team at White Sage went above and beyond what they were contracted to do. Over the course of six months, Brooke kept us on task and always made us feel like we could reach out to her about anything no matter how small or insignificant. They made us feel like there was no task too big and they made the entire process feel easy and fun. There were so many small details and touches that we would not have even thought about that made our wedding the most perfect, magical day. Everything ran like a well oiled machine and she took so much stress out of the weekend for us. From the software they used with us to coordinate all the various facets of the wedding planning to acting as our go between for every question our guests had leading up to the wedding, they instilled in us so much confidence that our wedding would be as meaningful as we’d hoped, and it turned out to be the greatest experience of our lives. We could not recommend White Sage more. They were the perfect company to plan our wedding and have now become lifelong friends.We had our hearts set on getting married in Ojai, but we had been struggling to find a venue there that suited our budget and our sensibilities.

From the software they used with us to coordinate all the various facets of the wedding planning to acting as our go between for every question our guests had leading up to the wedding, they instilled in us so much confidence that our wedding would be as meaningful as we’d hoped, and it turned out to be the greatest experience of our lives. We could not recommend White Sage more. They were the perfect company to plan our wedding and have now become lifelong friends.-

White Sage exceeded our expectations on what a wedding planner can do!
Brooke from White Sage did a wonderful job at our wedding. She was very thorough with every detail, bugged us to make sure we're making good progress, and followed through every last thing. Hiring a wedding planner is now my #1 advice I give to engaged friends and would definitely recommend Brooke in a heartbeat.Brooke from White Sage did a wonderful job at our wedding.

The best wedding planner in Ojai!
Our wedding was such a perfect day filled with joy, and we are so grateful that we decided to choose White Sage Wedding to help with planning and coordination! We were fortunate enough to work with Brooke herself, and she was a perfect fit for us -- highly organized and detail-orientated, extremely communicative, and ready to answer any questions big or small. She was upbeat and excited, and helped us feel secure that everything would go according to plan. We truly appreciated how she respected our vision and budget, and never pressured us to add unnecessary elements to our wedding. In fact, she had some great suggestions that helped us execute a few ideas and still stay within our limited budget! Even though we weren't her biggest client, and we had only hired her team for "month-of" coordination, she still made us feel important and told us she was there for us anytime. Her collaborative planning platform, AislePlanner, allowed us to share information and stay on-track with tasks far in advance. And her established relationships with local vendors was a big help too. In addition to the crucial things that we knew we wanted her help with (vendor communications, setup & cleanup, logistics on the day, etc), there were so many other meaningful details that were all thanks to Brooke: handing us a glass of champagne and allowing us to have a few quiet moments alone as a couple immediately following the ceremony, making sure we didn't miss our chance to eat or get dessert, looking after particular details that we had previously expressed as important to us, etc). We wanted our family and guests to have nothing else to do other than enjoy the celebration, without feeling burdened or responsible for helping, and Brooke made that possible! Afterwards, several family members and friends commented on how they had the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding, and admired how smoothly everything went. Her assistant on the wedding day was the absolute sweetest, too! We were truly in awe of how purely blissful the entire day was, and we are forever thankful for the big part that Brooke and her team played in giving us an experience we'll never forget.Our wedding was such a perfect day filled with joy, and we are so grateful that we decided to choose White Sage Wedding to help with planning and coordination!

Best decision in planning process
Hiring White Sage was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! We were determined to do our own wedding planning but 8 months out we started to get overwhelmed with the process. We quickly realized there is a lot of industry knowledge that only someone who does this often could and would know, so we decided to look for a planner. White Sage was recommended to us by a friend who is in the catering business and we are forever grateful for their recommendation. From Day 1, we had a gut feeling Brooke was our one when she requested that we meet face-to-face for our introduction meeting instead of an informal phone call. Most of the planners that we reached out to prior to Brooke asked for a call but Brooke's request for a face-to-face told us that she cared about relationships and her business is personal which, to us, meant she was and is in this with her whole heart! She puts her entire heart and soul into each and every meeting. Throughout the entire process Brooke was present, honest, kind, personal, and knowledgeable. At every step of the planning process our decision to work with White Sage was consistently validated - we often found ourselves saying "thank goodness we have Brooke!" over and over again. There was a point in the process where we had expressed our level of stress and concerns, to which Brooke responded "you don't need to stress anymore, that's now my job." The planning software she uses, Aisle Planner, is EVERYTHING. It breaks down each detail and task into manageable action items and a perfect timeline. Every single detail was all planned out and finalized DAYS before the wedding, it was done... all of it DONE! All we had is wait for our day to come, show up, get married, and party! On the day-of, not a single detail was missed. It was like clockwork. Brooke and her assistant, Christina, not only checked in with us but also checked in with our family members to make sure everyone was comfortable and happy. There was a minor issue on our day with one of our self chosen vendors but we didn't allow ourselves to get worked up over it because we knew Brooke would absolutely take care of it in a professional manner - and she did just that. The energy that those two have is unparalleled. They definitely went above and beyond on our wedding day. We wish we somehow could have cloned her to have her be our planner and a wedding guest - thats how awesome she is!
We still feel connected to Brooke and as far as we are concerned, she went from planner to friend. We're not sure how many people could or would say they miss spending time with their wedding planner, but we truly miss our meetings together and look forward to a continued connection with Brooke!Hiring White Sage was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process!

Santa Barbara Elopement
My husband (!!) and I eloped to Santa Barbara this past November. Our plan was to have some sort of bohemian ceremony with vows in a yurt, a picnic with beer and chocolates, and enough macrame to get tangled in. Brooke helped us pull it off after just a few phone calls to discuss mock-ups and inspiration pics.
When we arrived on the day of our vows, my husband and I were so amazed. Our dreams had literally come true. The ambiance was so free and magical. During our photos, Brooke relit candles and placed them in aesthetically pleasing ways. She offered laughs and her involvement and kindness helped us feel at ease throughout the photo-shoot (which could potentially be kind of awkward with people we've only just met!).
I recommend Brooke whole-heartedly! We are so thankful for her guidance and expertise.My husband (!!) and I eloped to Santa Barbara this past November.

Didn't have to worry about a thing
When my wife and I were beginning to plan our wedding, it seemed pretty overwhelming and we didn’t know where to start! First there was finding the wedding venue, then there was planning the catering, it just felt like we were going to be missing stuff. So, one day when Chelsea was googling her heart out, she came across the White Sage Wedding website! She messaged Brooke and on the same day, heard back and got a meetup scheduled. After meeting Brooke at Noso Vita in Ojai, Chelsea and I knew she was the one! Brooke made it clear that she would go above and beyond for her clients because she truly loves and cares about what she does.
One of my favorite parts about the White Sage Wedding process is the AislePlanner app. As a software engineer, this had me right in the center of my comfort zone. There was a checklist section, a place to host a wedding website, and event guest and budget management tools. Everything we needed to get done from a planning perspective was all in one place and We also loved the meet ups with Brooke where she answered any questions we had and pointed us in the right direction. That, combined with the wealth of vendors she works with made it easy to plan a wedding that was in our budget and exactly what we wanted.
Brooke and her team operate with such professionalism and passion for what they do, it’s hard to not like the decisions they make. They always guided us from their experience, but they never forced a decision. Wedding details were up to us, but they would point out things that had worked well in the past. It was so important to us to have a simple, fun, and positive experience and it was easy to do that with their help.
After feeling so overwhelmed with the planning details for the wedding, it was truly refreshing and relaxing to work with a team that made us feel like they had things covered. That way, on the day of our wedding, all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the ride. We could NOT have been as present and happy during our day if not for them. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Brooke was able to get to know us and our love and our goals for the wedding and the things that meant everything to us from the big things to the tiny little details we wanted. She was able to make it all happen with us and she understood the importance of our love story and made our dreamy wedding come true.
Without a doubt in our minds, we would recommend White Sage Wedding to anyone planning their wedding. Whether you’re overwhelmed with all the details, or you have everything planned in your mind, it’s worth every penny. Brooke and her team (shout out to Peter Dunn, our photographer) will enable you to have the day you’ve dreamed of and so much more. We feel that we’ve made a lifelong connection to her as friends, and it takes a truly special person to do that.

Great experience!
Planning a wedding is stressful! Having a professional to help navigate through all the details and keep you accountable makes all the difference. The father of the bride did extensive research and found White Sage to be highly recommended. After meeting Brooke, we knew we had found the right wedding planner for us.
The bride, while very organized, tends to get stressed easily and become overwhelmed. White Sage helped take away some of that stress and make everything manageable. Although there were many tasks to complete, White Sage helped us focus on the big picture and continually reminded us that the whole point of this process is to marry your best friend.
We liked that White Sage used a website called Aisle Planner, that allowed us to see our tasks broken down into manageable deadlines and check them off as we completed our tasks. The website also sent email reminders when a deadline was approaching. In addition, we had many face to face meetings which were especially helpful for things like creating the invitations, doing venue walk throughs, and meeting other vendors. Brooke especially was encouraging and supportive during this stressful time.
Having a wedding planner was invaluable to us. Especially on the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about anything. Brooke was there telling us where we needed to be and keeping everything on track. After all of the face to face visits, we knew we could count on Brooke to handle everything and we didn't have to stress about getting all the details the way we wanted.
We would absolutely recommend White Sage Wedding! The staff is friendly and personable. Through this process, Brooke became a friend not just our wedding planner. We are happy that we decided to work with a wedding planner, and White Sage is the best you'll find!

Incredible experience!!
Our search for a “day of” which really is “month of” wedding planner commenced after we had the broad outlines of our celebration in place. We interviewed a handful of planners and White Sage came into focus for a variety of reasons: approachability, thoroughness, responsiveness, organization and Brooke’s engaging personality.
We are a pretty organized bunch and have experience in event planning, however White Sage brought incredible value to us, especially the bride, in staying on track and bringing up items that were not high on the radar. The electronic tools that were shared helped enormously in keeping everyone focused and unified in our efforts. Meetings with Brooke provided important touchpoints as we moved closer to the event. Brooke was always available to answer questions and address concerns and a great referral source for vendors as needed.
When the pedal hit the metal on “day of” Brooke went above and beyond in every way! She was onsite hours earlier than expected and took charge of all the details. Other than myself and the bride no one had command of every aspect of our event other than Brooke and she was absolutely amazing in every way. She orchestrated our event with energy, confidence and most importantly love and passion for her work. She immersed herself and her staff in attending to every detail in a calm and focused manner. This allowed us to focus on the day and enjoy – which was invaluable to us.
More than anything it is the passion Brooke and her team bring to their work which separates them from the pack. Many planners are by the book and it can be limiting in such a personal situation. White Sage brings genuine and authentic desire to help their clients achieve and fully enjoy this momentous occasion! They accomplished this in spades for us and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will deliver exceptionally for them! We are forever indebted for what they extended to us!

Incredible Team
We were tremendously grateful to have found Brooke and her team during our beginning stages of wedding planning and couldn't imagine our wedding day without White Sage. Brooke was there for us every step of the way, always going above and beyond, and being a source of calm and confidence while helping us execute our vision. Her enthusiasm, knowledge, expertise, and highly-organized approach helped us stay on track and feel so excited about our big day. She truly understood what we needed and ensured that our entire wedding weekend went smoothly, and took care of everything. She has a sharp eye for detail, and expertly anticipates every situation and need. One of the best compliments we can give is that so many of our family members and guests commented on the expert coordination and how kind and warm Brooke and her team were. We could not recommend them enough! Please hire them and prepare to not worry about a thing on your wedding day!We were tremendously grateful to have found Brooke and her team during our beginning stages of wedding planning and couldn't imagine our wedding day without White Sage.
