villa and vine + santa barbara courthouse

The Santa Barbara Courthouse, an iconic Spanish-Moorish building from 1929, is among the most stunning in the U.S. Its carefully preserved gardens and expansive lawns have become a sought-after venue for special events. With its lush tropical gardens and charming Spanish Colonial architecture, it offers an ideal setting for those seeking a relaxed California ambiance. The wedding ceremony at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Sunken Gardens was a romantic and intimate affair, perfectly framed by the venue’s stunning natural beauty. Delicate pink and blue florals adorned the ceremony space, their vibrant hues creating a breathtaking backdrop that complemented the lush greenery surrounding the garden.

After a beautiful courthouse ceremony, the celebration began with a lively New Orleans-style second line, setting a fun tone for the evening. The couple and their guests paraded through Santa Barbara, dancing and creating an electric atmosphere. The playlist, blending classic and modern tunes, matched the couple’s vibrant spirit, encouraging everyone to dance and make lasting memories. The vibes were truly magical as they celebrated E+B.

The wedding cocktail hour at Villa + Vine’s Arlington Room and hallway was a delightful prelude to the evening’s festivities, where guests were warmly welcomed by a stunning mirror seating chart that added a touch of elegance to the ambiance. As they mingled, they savored signature beverages like the refreshing Passion Fruit Margarita and the invigorating Mint Mojito, each adorned with charming pearl drink stirrers that enhanced the sophisticated vibe. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and conversation, further enlivened by a Polaroid camera placed on a nearby table, inviting guests to capture candid moments throughout the evening.

  • All I can say is… WOW

    Previously started my review with “all I can say is… WOW,” but saw another review started just the same! That just goes to show it is no joke, Koral and her team made things SO EASY on my now husband and I! Usually, I’m a nervous wreck, but when I tell you I had ZERO worries on the day of the wedding, I mean it! Koral was especially helpful in creating our timeline, contacting vendors, and ensuring our vision came true on our special day. Everything was absolutely amazing. She and her team were so kind and helpful… they begin to feel like your friends! Honestly, their attention to detail was incredible. I would certainly consider her services for events in the future!

  • The attention to detail was evident in everything...

    I recently attended a wedding that was planned by this brilliantly creative vendor. The attention to detail was evident in everything, from the personalized, engraved names for place settings, to the champagne and dessert walls, making the event feel even more festive. Koral's devotion to providing the bride a dream ceremony and reception was something that needs to be stressed!! I will most definitely use her expertise when planning future parties and highly recommend her to anyone!

  • She is the sweetest human being and so professional.

    As another vendor, I had the pleasure of working with Koral on several events. She is the sweetest human being and so professional. As we know, weddings can be a little stressful and Koral was always so calm, cool, and collected while dealing with whatever was thrown our way. And she did so with the smile never fading from her face. Would absolutely trust her with the execution of any special occasion.
