An Ocean-Inspired Celebration at the Carousel House

From Lina Bell Weddings:

Kelsey and Conor's March wedding at the picturesque Santa Barbara Carousel House was a celebration filled with love, laughter, and a touch of ocean-inspired magic. Coordinated seamlessly by Ann Johnson Events, every detail was thoughtfully planned to perfection.

The venue, nestled by the beach, provided a stunning backdrop that perfectly complemented the couple's love for surfing. Region Design Studio created breathtaking floral arrangements and centerpieces, weaving in seashells and sand to capture the couple's passion for the sea within a sophisticated white floral palette. The symbolic sand-pouring ceremony during the vows beautifully represented the blending of Kelsey and Conor's lives and their commitment to each other.

Photographer Lina Bell of Lina Bell Weddings captured every heartfelt moment in a deconstructed, elegant, documentary photography style that blended both 35mm film and digital imagery, ensuring that Kelsey and Conor's special day was immortalized. DJ Bennett from Sincere Sound kept the dance floor alive with his energetic beats, making sure the party was unforgettable.

Guests enjoyed delectable cuisine from Rudy’s, served straight from their iconic truck, and indulged in delicious churros and cupcakes for dessert, adding a sweet and fun twist to the evening. Ventura Rentals, under Judy's expert guidance, provided elegant furnishings that enhanced the venue's charm, while Gavin Roy Presents lit up the night with Robbie's impeccable lighting design.

From the heartfelt speeches filled with cherished memories of the couple to the wild dancing that carried late into the night, Kelsey and Conor's wedding was a perfect blend of modern, beachy, bohemian, and elegant elements. It was a day that reflected their unique personalities and shared love for the ocean, wrapped in the warmth of their closest family and friends.
