A Tasty Touch of Tuscany Ocean Side
Santa Barbara is well-known as “The American Riviera”, and its many beach locations offer quintessential oceanside events which are undoubtedly memorable. Today’s featured rehearsal dinner is a perfect example of one of these gorgeous oceanside events and was held at the luxury Santa Barbara Beach Club.
Felici Events helped to plan the dinner and made it one-of-a-kind by incorporating Tuscany details throughout. Pops of bright blue and yellow decorated the Kings table including yellow-tinted goblet glasses, intricately patterned bowls and plates, and happy sunflowers. Bella Vista Designs and Town and Country Event Rentals both helped to furnish and decorate the event.
What really made the dinner special was unquestionably the meal provided by Catering Connection led by the team’s owner and founder, Ursula O’Neill. The menu was also Tuscany-inspired and included multiple courses of mouth-watering dishes.
