Welcome to Santa Barbara Wedding
— Your curated guide to the most romantic destination wedding experience in California.
Santa Barbara Wedding is the most trusted local wedding planning resource and curated vendor directory for couples getting married in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Santa Ynez, Carpinteria, and the surrounding Central Coast. Founded by Zohe Felici — a 25-year Santa Barbara wedding professional — the site connects engaged couples with hand-selected venues, photographers, planners, florists, caterers, and vendors across every category. Alongside real Santa Barbara weddings, planning guides, elopement resources, and a free venue brochure, this is built specifically for destination and local couples who want insider knowledge — not a national directory that doesn't know the difference between Summerland and Solvang.
Maybe you're not from here. Maybe you visited once, fell in love with the light, the mountains, the ocean all at once — and thought this is where I want to get married. Either way, you know this place is special. And you're right.
Ciao! I'm Zohe Felici — a recovering wedding planner.
I spent 16 years designing and producing weddings in Santa Barbara before I finally admitted I was better at connecting people than carrying a clipboard. Today I channel that same production expertise into large-scale nonprofit galas and immersive community events right here in town — which means I'm still in the trenches, still talking to vendors every week, and still very much plugged into what's happening in Santa Barbara's event world.
Now I channel 25 years of insider knowledge into this platform — so you get the hidden gem venues, the vendors worth every penny, and the kind of guidance that only comes from someone who has been inside 500 Santa Barbara weddings and knows exactly what makes them unforgettable.
I know which venues have the best light for pink moments. I know which vendors show up early, stay late, and make you look brilliant. I know the difference between a good Santa Barbara wedding and one your guests talk about for years.
This isn't a national directory that treats Santa Barbara like a pin on a map. It's a curated, locally-vetted resource built by someone who calls this city home — and who genuinely wants your wedding to be extraordinary.
Much love,
Zohe Felici

Why Santa Barbara is the Perfect Place to Say “I Do”
Santa Barbara isn't just beautiful — it's the kind of beautiful that makes people fly in from across the country and say "yes, here, this is the one."
Ocean on one side. Mountains on the other. Mediterranean weather that makes outdoor weddings in January feel completely reasonable. Spanish Colonial architecture that photographs like a dream. Vineyards forty minutes north that feel like Tuscany without the jet lag.
Whether you're planning a beachfront ceremony, a vineyard soirée, or a five-star resort weekend on the American Riviera — this city delivers.
