Ultimate wedding & party destination since 2009

Santa Barbara wedding: Stephanie + Rodrigo

August 7, 2012
San Yisdro Ranch wedding

We hope you don’t tire of us talking about how beautiful some California venues and locations are. Sometimes we think we’ve seen it all and then Elizabeth Messina sends us a peek at a private Santa Barbara wedding like this one and our love for SoCal goes up a notch. The San Ysidro Ranch is exceptionally gorgeous. It’s the place Hollywood goes to escape and icons like John & Jackie Kennedy spend their honeymoon. A weekend retreat if you’re a CA resident, or an intimate destination wedding? Sure!
