Destination Weddings in Santa Barbara
It’s not surprising that luxury wedding clients flock to Santa Barbara to host their weddings. There is something about the crowned jewel of California’s central coastline. It is a place near and dear to our hearts, being one of the first places Rosemary Events planned a wedding way back in 2002. Since then we’ve planned countless weddings in the region and it remains a favorite destination.
The area is home to hillside villas, storied Spanish Colonial landmarks, and boutique resorts offering full-property buyouts. Santa Barbara and its neighbors, Ojai and the Santa Ynez valley, boast some of the most sought after luxury destination wedding locations in California.

Whether you are seeking the exclusivity of a private Montecito estate, the intimacy of the the historic San Ysidro Ranch, or the seaside glitz and glamour of Rosewood’s Miramar Beach Hotel, the Santa Barbara region truly has something for everyone.
