Hello, My fiance and i are trying to figure out the best location for our wedding next summer in Santa Barbara. We have looked at hotels, parks, vacation rental estates and a ranch. We are torn between the "package deal" of the hotels and being in a more open and private setting that we can manage more closely the costs and specific details of the food, beverage, etc. Any advice or suggestions for a good venue that might have the best of both worlds (easy, less expensive and still wonderful) would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Leigh
