Bartender pouring cocktails at Santa Barbara Historical Museum wedding

KB Events planned this elegant and deeply personal wedding day set at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. Before guests arrived, the couple shared private vows beneath the soft morning light—an intimate moment that grounded them before stepping into the whirlwind of celebration. The ceremony itself was full of warmth and laughter, especially when Ben’s sister, who officiated, brought the house down with an enthusiastic “send it!” right before he broke the glass—the perfect blend of tradition and personality.

The reception was a sensory dream, brought to life with help from an incredible team of vendors. Twisted Twig Fine Florals filled the space with pastel blooms that complemented the blue-tinted glassware and lush greenery. Overhead, Bella Vista Designs transformed the courtyard with lanterns and string lights that made the evening glow. Guests snacked on tuna and slider appetizers, then lined up for tacos from Omni Catering. Drinks flowed from Meritage Wine Market’s bar—highlighted by custom cocktails, including a whiskey sour, spicy margarita, and mocktail mule. Postcards served as both escort cards and sweet, handwritten notes, adding a personal touch . And of course, no one will forget the donut tower or the saxophone player from Dart Collective weaving through the dance floor, one of the most talked-about moments from the night.

The whole day moved seamlessly thanks to vendors who truly understood the vision. Ellie Koleen Photography captured every candid laugh and quiet glance, while Dreamcatcher Artistry made the ladies feel their best. Guests were transported courtesy of Bill’s Bus and dined and danced on rentals from Amigo Rentals that tied the aesthetic together beautifully. Big thanks to KB Events for sharing!
