01 · In a sentence

Santa Barbara Elopement in CA 93190, open JuneSeptember.

Santa Barbara Elopement cuts through the planning complexity by offering a streamlined, all-in-one estate venue on State Street—meaning you handle one contact instead of juggling multiple vendors.

This 5-star rated property delivers the flexibility and intimacy smaller ceremonies demand, with built-in amenities that eliminate the coordinate-everything-separately hassle.

Located in downtown Santa Barbara, the venue keeps logistics simple while preserving the sophisticated California coastal aesthetic.

Shauna and Bridget are amazing! My husband and I decided to pivot on short notice to a small family wedding with only 3-4 months to plan. Shauna let us know that it was not problem and made it happen! We ended up having a 27 person wedding at Rosewood Miramar Beach and it was absolutely perfect! Every single vendor she referred us to was incredibly talented. Our wedding day flowed perfectly and stress free because of Shauna and Bridget (even with some last minute rearranging due to rain.) If you're looking for a planner in the Santa Barbara area, I highly recommend Santa Barbara Elopement.
