A wedding at the historic Santa Barbara Club is always an elegant affair, and this celebration, expertly planned by Ann Johnson Events, was no exception. Known as a Santa Barbara gem, Ann Johnson and her team orchestrated a seamless day filled with romance and sophistication. The couple exchanged vows in the club’s timeless setting, surrounded by lush greenery and classic architecture. Alexis Ireland Florals elevated the ambiance with stunning white blooms and Rockstar Bus & Trolley Co. helped to get the event rolling.

The reception embraced an al fresco design with long, modern dining tables, inviting guests to mingle effortlessly between both families. The seating chart was craftily placed on wine bottles and each table was identified by a different city that was meaningful to the couple's relationship for a chic and personal touch. The culinary experience featured an upscale menu of eggplant parmesan, filet mignon, and grilled salmon, paired with a colorful array of hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails like an Aperol Spritz and Old Fashioned. The bride stunned with three dress changes throughout the evening, beginning in a regal princess gown, transitioning into a sleek reception dress, and ending in a playful short fringe party dress—perfect for dancing.

The Lucky Devils Band set the tone for the celebration, providing lively music that kept guests entertained well into the night. Every detail, from Rebecca Michel Beauty’s flawless hair and makeup to Agape Films’ and Heirlume Photography’s seamless documentation of the day, captured the ritzy ambiance of this unforgettable wedding.
