​Vincent and Talia originally came to us imagining an estate wedding in Napa Valley, a place they visited and fell in love with just after their engagement. Because of his sports schedule as a Footballer, they had narrowed possible dates to a few specific weekends, but were waiting on confirmation from his coaches as to which weekend it could be. They had a vision for a gorgeous, fun destination for their guests who would be traveling from Europe, Mexico and parts of the United States. ​

With dates up in the air, we took a strategic approach to the location search, casting the net wide beyond Napa Valley and exploring possibilities from Tuscany to San Miguel de Allende to Santa Barbara. Our options narrowed as we waited for confirmation, but the couple was very happy with their final decision to marry at a beautiful Spanish style villa in Santa Barbara where they hosted 130 of their closest friends and family. ​

The weekend began with a cocktail hour on the Mirador Rooftop at Hotel Californian. Guests enjoyed cocktails and bites and 360 degree views of the Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
