Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This exquisite club exemplifies the qualities that make Santa Barbara unforgettable: a timelessly grand aesthetic, delectable local foods and world-class wines, and a dedication to service that ensures a seamless, luxurious experience. Tucked in the heart of the city's historic center, it's a century-old oasis of lush lawns, turn-of-the-century architecture, and impeccable elegance just steps from everything the area has to offer.
- A dramatic oak tree on the Club's verdant grounds is a popular backdrop for ceremonies, especially as the afternoon sun dapples the area with welcome shade. Cocktails follow on the adjacent patio or inside the venue's Bar and Club Room, where a baby grand piano adds a classic touch. A glass wall in the main Dining Room opens onto the outdoor space, inviting a refreshing flow as you dine, dance, and celebrate into the evening.
- The acclaimed in-house chef specializes in California wine country cuisine, with a passion for creating unique epicurean experiences for you and your guests. The extensive wine list offers endless options for pairings, with ample selections of local varietals as well as international favorites. Because this is a truly full-service venue, you can focus on the big moments while the talented staff expertly manages the details.
