We love planning weddings and events at the historic Montecito Club. Located in Montecito, California, this venue offers incredible views of Santa Barbara, timeless style, and multiple unique settings to host a beautiful event.

Jenna and Pat’s Timeless Celebration

Jenna and Pat’s wedding at the historic Montecito Club was an affair that seamlessly blended classic elegance with heartfelt family moments. Their vision was clear: a celebration that felt timeless, sophisticated, and above all, focused on the love they share and the deep bonds with their families. The iconic venue, with its sweeping views and old-world charm, provided the perfect backdrop.

We worked closely with Jenna and Pat to create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Lush blue and white floral arrangements, including cascading wisteria, added a touch of romance, while patterned linens brought in a subtle playfulness. Every detail, from the personalized stationery to the carefully curated menu, was designed to reflect the couple’s refined taste and create a truly unforgettable experience for their guests.

Ceremony Highlights

The ceremony took place on the polo field with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. A floral arch made with white and blue hydrangeas and greenery served as the focal point. The aisle was lined with blue and white flowers, creating a peaceful and inviting setting for the couple’s vows. The father of the bride surprised the bride (and her mom!) with the florals going down the aisle – their reactions were priceless as they were walking down the aisle.

Reception Details

The reception was held inside the historic Montecito Club. The room featured floral arrangements, chandeliers with cascading blue and white wisteria, and tables dressed in soft blue linens with candlelight accents. 

Beyond the aesthetics, it was the palpable love and warmth shared between Jenna, Pat, and their families that truly made this wedding special. From the touching speeches to the lively dance floor filled with generations celebrating together, the day was a testament to the enduring power of family and the beauty of a love built to last. It was a privilege to orchestrate this unforgettable event and witness the beginning of their happily ever after.
