Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This historic Spanish-Colonial architectural landmark has played host to spectacular celebrations for over 100 years. Located on over 2 picturesque acres just a block from Mission Santa Barbara, this beloved venue thoughtfully showcases the area's natural beauty... and provides plenty of flexibility for shaping your day as you dream it.
  • Ceremonies are held on the stone-walled Terrace beneath the shady arms of a spreading oak. After the "I do"s, continue the party al fresco, mingling among gracious gardens studded with fountains and bloom-lined paths as the draped bistro lights and vintage-inspired street lamps begin to glow.  
  • Rows of gently arched patio doors lead into the handsome ballroom, where you'll find rich wood beams, wrought-iron railings, and crisp white stucco walls create an airy, expansive feel. Greet your guests from the pretty mezzanine before joining them for a spin on the gleaming oak floors.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book the Santa Barbara Woman's Club, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

The event package at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club gives you the clubhouse for a five-hour event for up to 200 guests, including the ballroom, a raised stage with a drop-down screen, the grand lobby, the mezzanine, a commercial kitchen, the stone patio with a fireplace, a bridal dressing area, 25 round tables and free parking for 120 cars. Plan separately for your caterer, bartender, rental chairs, linens and dishware, and a professional wedding coordinator, which is required.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes. At the Santa Barbara Woman's Club, ceremonies are held on the stone-walled terrace beneath a spreading oak that's nearly 100 years old. Afterward, guests mingle in the gardens among fountains and bistro lights, then head through arched patio doors into the ballroom, with wood beams, a mezzanine and oak floors for dancing.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to the Santa Barbara Woman's Club or do we have to use yours?

Yes. At the Santa Barbara Woman's Club, you work with your own caterer and bartender, or choose from the preferred list, and you pick your own rental company for chairs, linens, dishware and glassware. Your band or DJ can use the stage. A professional wedding coordinator is required, and alcohol must be poured by a licensed bartender or your caterer.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club, and is there a minimum?

At the Santa Barbara Woman's Club, the rental fee is $7,000 for up to 100 guests, $7,500 for 101–150 and $8,000 for 151–200. Since you bring your own caterer and bartender, there's no food and beverage minimum. A larger bridal suite and overflow space can be rented for an extra charge.

How long do we get at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club, and when does the music have to stop?

The Santa Barbara Woman's Club package includes a five-hour event, plus five hours on the business day before for setup, decorating and your rehearsal. The building opens for vendor deliveries three hours before the event, and rentals are picked up the next business day. Events take place between 8:30am and 10pm.

What's the backup plan at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club if it rains on our wedding day?

If there's wind or rain, your entire event at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club can move inside the clubhouse. The ballroom, grand lobby and mezzanine hold up to 200 guests, so you won't need to rent a tent, and the stone patio fireplace keeps things cozy on cooler evenings.

What makes the Santa Barbara Woman's Club different from the other venues near it?

The Santa Barbara Woman's Club is a historic Spanish-Colonial landmark on 2.2 acres next to Rocky Nook Park, just blocks from Mission Santa Barbara. Your wedding is the only event at the venue that weekend, and the extended setup time gives your vendors room for draping, suspended lighting, photo booths and custom archways.

Is there a place to get ready at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club?

Yes. The Santa Barbara Woman's Club package includes a bridal dressing area. For more room, you can rent the large bridal suite, which has a kitchenette and a private entrance, for an additional charge, giving your wedding party a comfortable, private space before the ceremony.
