Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Nestled amid colorful shops and cafés dotting the shoreline of Carpinteria, a seaside community just south of Santa Barbara, this elegant club exudes warmth and charm. Just a five-minute stroll to the beach, it's ideal for ceremonies on the sand, where Rincon’s experienced style squad will personalize your setting: an aisle lined with seashells and driftwood, a bamboo arch draped with tropical garlands, or even a circle of grass sod right on the sand!
- The Club boasts two main event areas: The Dining Room, which exudes a quiet elegance; and the Wedding Garden, a leafy courtyard enclosed by 10-foot-high walls of flowering vines and lined with shimmering fairy light curtains. In this charming outdoor oasis, reception tables are arranged on a spacious flagstone patio beneath an ingenious wooden framework embellished with wooden chandeliers and Tuscan string lights (a rose garden at one end is also a pretty spot for ceremonies).
- Expert planning, event production, and palate-pleasing cuisine are also part of the package. This full-service approach is not only a time- and money-saver, it also results in a more cohesive expression of your vision. This is especially evident when it comes to your menu, which they’ll customize from aperitif to dessert. From global-inspired delicacies to the latest food trends, absolutely nothing intimidates these culinary artists!

Yes. At Rincon Beach Club, you can marry in the Garden, an open-air space with flowering vines, a spacious patio and string lights, or walk a few steps to Santa Claus Beach for an oceanfront ceremony. Then head back to the club for your reception, with dinner in the Garden and dancing indoors.
Catering, bar and rentals at Rincon Beach Club come through Events by Rincon, and your Rincon planner coordinates arrival times and load-out with the rest of your team. You'll bring your own DJ, photographer and other vendors, who can usually arrive up to two hours before guests. For flowers, the team recommends using one of its preferred florists, who know the club's decor and candle rules.
