Wedding couple kissing at Private estate Villa Sevillano wedding in Santa Barbara

SANTA BARBARA ESTATE WEDDING 

Villa Sevillano, Santa Barbara

Vincent and Talia dreamed of a garden wedding and an idyllic destination for guests traveling from Europe, Mexico, and Texas. Because of the groom’s sports schedule as a Footballer, the date and location would depend entirely on his playoff schedule so we explored options from Mexico to Napa Valley to Tuscany in hopes that we’d find the perfect plan to align. With our tentative plan we waited to know the date. Everything fell into place in Santa Barbara, where the couple exchanged vows on a summer night with 130 of their closest friends and family at a beautiful garden villa just South of Santa Barbara.

The intimate garden ceremony began with a procession of attendants, and Vincent’s adorable nieces as flower girls. Then the music shifted to a surprise string performance of a ballad the bride sang for him on their first meeting in Mexico. As cocktails kicked off as mariachis descended on the garden for a lively performance, also reminiscent of their first date.

Guests dined al fresco and danced the night away to the band New Design. As the evening progressed, guests were invited inside the villa for a DJ set that carried into the early. It was the perfect end to a quintessential Santa Barbara wedding.
