Hi All!
Are there any Santa Barbara brides who can suggest some beautiful open spaces ( a la the SB Courthouse Sunken Gardens) where receptions are allowed? I wanted a natural setting where I'd also be free to include a band, catering and open bar.
Alternatively, are there any recommendations on affordable vineyards for weddings? We are hoping for a wedding of 75-100.
Thx to All!

Re: Santa Barbara Venues?
I was a SB bride and had a completely outdoor wedding so I might be able to help you. If you want info or have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at summer0fstars@aol.com. I should also have some info and vendor reviews in my bio. Good luck!

There are a ton of vineyards in Los Olivos and Santa Ynez...not 100% sure which ones are more affordable than others, but I would imagine any coordinator could tell you. best of luck!
the stow house is beautiful and very affordable for the area.

Is anybody knowledgeable about the Stella Mare event center? (http://www.stellamares.com/welcome_events.htm) We went there to look at the space and it was beautiful! Very chic french country with a beautiful outside area with purple flowers and hanging lights and views of the SB mountains. It looks like its come down to either this location or another spot closer to us in Beverly Hills. Would love to hear anybody's thoughts on this venue if they are aware of it!
Thx!
