I am convinced that Percy was an angel sent to save our wedding…read more After having issues with our prior wedding planner, 4 weeks before our wedding we reached out to Percy, to our fortune, he was available and so happy to help us. Since we hired him, everything ran SO smoothly, he took over immediately and within 24 hours all the vendors were notified and we had a timeline in place. After a day of having him as our official planner, I knew things were going to be great and my stress disappeared. Not only is Percy very organized he also has the best taste! He gave me great recommendations for wedding decor (up to that point I had nothing), he let me borrow things he already had like a cake plate, table signs and recommended some amazing vendors that I still needed. okay not only he is organized and creative he is also the most wonderful human! He was so incredibly patient with us, the day before our wedding he gave me a pep talk about not freaking out and the warmest hug and all my stress went away. He took great care of us during our wedding, we had NOTHING to worry about and everything was perfect. We wish we could get married everyday (to the same person obv!) only so Percy can plan our wedding every single time!

In planning our big day, we had the unique and challenging situation of using a dual-function venue…read more-- that is, the ceremony and reception would both take place in a single courtyard! Percy was not only well-versed in planning such an event but also extremely knowledgeable about our particular venue and its layout. Two pieces of ribbon functioned perfectly as a makeshift aisle through the dinner tables, and the dance floor became an ideal spot for the buffet until it was time to get up and groove. It worked flawlessly! We had thought we had it all figured out when we arrived at our initial consultation, yet Percy pointed out many organizational issues that we never would have caught ourselves! He was full of ideas and offered creative and educated insight into every detail, especially the crowd favorite: personalized homemade salsa souvenirs that also functioned as guests' seating arrangement indicator (with their name and table # printed on the top). Percy was so easy to work with and took a lot of the edge off by familiarizing us with the process of planning and executing a mid-sized wedding. We will definitely recommend him to any of our friends or colleagues who need a wedding planner in the future!

We are incredibly grateful to Armando for his patience, understanding, and unwavering support…read morethroughout our wedding planning journey. There were moments leading up to the wedding when we were navigating major life changes and found ourselves unresponsive at times, yet he remained receptive, compassionate, and genuinely empathetic every step of the way. Armando is truly an artist in his craft. He has an extraordinary ability to take a couple's vision, understand the heart behind it, and transform that dream into reality. His creativity, organization, and attention to detail are unmatched. On the day of our wedding, everything exceeded what we had imagined--it was absolutely perfect. We cannot say enough about Armando; we truly could not have done this without him. He was our anchor and our guide throughout the entire process. Having him lead us and be such an integral part of our special day was an incredible experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Armando to any couple seeking a planner who is talented, dedicated, and deeply invested in making their wedding unforgettable. You will not regret it.

Spectacular! I really think that Shauna, Alegria by Design, should be in the dictionary definition…read moreof that word. The wedding that she did at the Sunstone Villa was amazing from start to finish. Shauna planned a three day wedding celebration at the Santa Ynez winery.

She truly top of the top when it comes to planning of events. We highly recommend!

Where do I begin? I was introduced to Sarah/Vibe Tribe Events (VTE) about 7 months before our…read morewedding through a well-known events company in the Santa Barbara area and I am so glad our paths crossed! If you're looking for a planner to help you execute your vision, look no further - Vibe Tribe Events is all you need! As a corporate event planner myself (13+ years) based in Los Angeles, I had been in search for someone who knew the Santa Barbara market and could be my partial planner and "extended arm". I needed a person who I could trust to find local suppliers for a good price and make my vision come to life. As a planner-turned bride, it gave me anxiety to know that I couldn't be behind the scenes to execute a flawless wedding/event. Because of the nature of my work, I knew how nitpicky I could be and that whoever I hired to execute our wedding plans was going to have their hands full. I admit that I was a bit nervous to put all my trust into VTE at the very beginning because it is a newly established company, but I took a risk (as I would have wanted someone to do for me when I was just starting my career as a planner) and I am so happy I did. As I got to know Sarah, I learned that she is no stranger to the wedding planning game, and she did not disappoint one bit. Sarah's years of planning and day-of experience with many of the well-known planners in the Santa Barbara area is quite evident. And don't let her sweet friendly face fool you, Sarah knows how to get what she needs from her vendors while remaining calm and professional. From our first phone calls to our in-person meetings, Sarah was sharp, such a great listener and always made sure to take detailed notes about everything we wanted - including keeping in mind our budget limitations. She sent my then-fiancé/husband and I monthly check-in reminders to ensure all our to-do's were on target. All the documentation was kept organized through an online platform. She was even so patient with me via our text chats about flowers, the weather, linens, entertainment, etc. There are so many good things I could say about Sarah and her team. Perhaps the biggest test was the last 3 months of our wedding prep. While my husband and I hired some vendors, she also recommended and matched us up with some and we loved them all. Sarah was also on top of all our vendors and suppliers ensuring that everyone had accurate timelines for move in and breakdown. Meanwhile, we had weather-related issues to worry about leading up to the wedding (fire, rain and possible mudslides) but Sarah assured me that no matter what, everything would be perfect and we'd figure out a way to make it all work. She was right. Wedding weekend arrived (Wedding Day: March 24, 2018) and the weather was absolutely perfect. She lead the bridal party through the Friday rehearsal at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse where the ceremony took place. We stayed on time through the entire weekend - which is a miracle for weddings! And our guests kept commenting on how perfect every detail was. We couldn't agree more. Our reception was at Villa & Vine on State Street where we had about 90 guests. Sarah and her colleague, Karina (who I absolutely adored as well), rushed to make sure all our day-of reception details were in place in time for the Bride & Groom's First Look of the reception space. We were beyond happy with how it turned out and so thankful they were able to pull it all off considering it was just the two of them and the details involved. My husband and I were able to spend the whole day enjoying ourselves with our guests instead of worrying about behind the scenes details. The entire day Sarah and her team maintained a calm demeanor - always smiling and appeared on top of all the details. And as a planner myself who knows how crazy things can get, I really appreciated that. Their energies were positive the entire time and that's exactly what a Bride and Groom want on their big day. (I almost forgot to mention that despite how busy Sarah was on the morning of the wedding, she and Karina still made time to help my husband surprise me and my girls in the bridal suite - miles away in Montecito - with individual Starbucks drinks PLUS a presentation of sweet notes from him reminding me that our day would be perfect). If that isn't Five Star service, I don't know what is. We have to thank Vibe Tribe Events for executing a flawless wedding weekend. Sarah - I know what kind of a client I can be (sorry about that! haha), with my very specific requests and vision, and you truly met all expectations. So excited for the next couple who gets to be lucky enough to work with you! We really wish we can relive the day. So much fun. We miss you already!

Her design advice is also top-notch. Our reception was styled even more beautifully than we imagined. The rehearsal and wedding day ran so smoothly and all of our guests commented on how much fun they had. Sarah truly went above and beyond, giving us to-do lists every few months to keep our wedding planning on track, and also picking up some items we forgot and bringing them to the ceremony. Cannot recommend her enough.

I can tell you that our wedding would not have been the amazing day that it was if it weren't for Zohe and her team.

Her prices are super reasonable, her personality is that of a CA local, and the timing worked very well on my regularly scheduled calls. I am currently in Maryland (and was during the whole planning of my wedding), but Zohe and I had weekly calls regarding updates on the wedding plan. All in all, she gave me a extreme confidence in having the plans done right while I was 3,000 miles away. In another review there was a comment on the websites of the chosen vendors having dated websites. As someone well immersed in the tech world, I'm 100% OK with these vendors. I don't care if the acoustic guitar guy or the banners person has a crap website so long as their chosen craft is worth buying for my wedding. Everyone Zohe recommended to me was just perfect for my beach event. Zohe hooked us up with the perfect beach side wedding ceremony and an all in one after party with super reasonable transport between. The party van even took my wedding party out after the end of the night. I would absolutely recommend Felici events, thanks for everything!

Deborah was the officiant at our April 22, 2017 outdoor Jewish wedding in Santa Barbara…read more She was fantastic, and I'm so glad she was there for our special day and I would definitely recommend her. During the ceremony she was warm and welcoming towards our guests, explaining the Jewish traditions to those who weren't familiar with them and creating a welcoming and special ceremony that we will remember forever and everyone enjoyed. She also made the marriage licence/Ketubah ceremony beforehand with our parents very special and memorable. She spent a lot of time getting to know us and sent me and my fiance a questionnaire to talk through before we got married. I liked that there was a little pre-marital counseling. (It doesn't take long- its a few pages you fill out and then she goes over it with you.) We talked on the phone with her a few times before the wedding since we lived out of state and met her at the venue when we visited a few months before the wedding. During the planning she was very responsive and patient at explaining all the Jewish ceremony traditions - some that we weren't very familiar with. She also sent us helpful links for getting the Ketubah, what was needed for the ceremony day-of and links explaining the traditions to help us with our program. She was terrific, I'm so glad she was our officiant for our big day!

She brought a sense of calm to what wedding planning is, utter chaos (or at least for us non-professionals it is). Leanne never once seemed daunted by anything during the entire process, and if she was we, didn't know it. Leanne also is a pleasure to be around, like you'd want to be her friend, which is not the vibe I got from the other coordinators I spoke with prior to finding Leanne. She is very down to earth, warm and really cares. She is genuinely invested in your wedding. Leanne worked with us in the month before and was even there before that to recommend vendors and offer advice and support if needed. Once she took over in those final weeks, I felt relieved. All was in her hands and she took care of absolutely everything and ensured that all the details (of which there were many) were in order. She spent a lot of time with us at the walkthrough and the day before the wedding to ensure that everything was prepared and that we felt at ease. That in and of itself is priceless! Never once did I feel uncertain that our wedding was not in good hands. On the day of, Leanne made sure everything went off without a hitch. Her services are amazing and we couldn't have gotten through our wedding without her. She is a gem.
