I came to this place the day before my wedding wanting a veil to add drama to my look, not really expecting anyone to be accommodating enough to be up for the task. Maria didn't hesitate for a moment, and hand-made my veil for the next day! It was stunningly beautiful and so well-made. Would highly recommend her for a tailor in the Santa Barbara area. I can't thank Maria enough!

Maria is truly an angel sent to turn lemons into the most marvelous lemonade. She made my daughters wedding day everything she wanted. I cannot thank her enough. I just wish I lived close enough to work with her. We love you Maria. If you need any alteration this is the place to go.

I felt so comfortable in my wedding dress on the day, and this is only because of Maria's expert alterations.

Don't buy from her. Beautiful website, but she does not deliver. I emailed her and drove two…read morehours (each direction) to her workshop in SB to see one particular dress. She said she'd have it ready for me. When I got there, it wasn't available: she'd sent it out for someone else to try on. OK, snafus happen; she UPSed it to me, I tried it on, it seemed great. We drove back to SB *again* for a fitting. Everything seemed fine. She asked me to send a check for 50% of the purchase price. I did, and sent an email saying, I'd sent it and to let me know if she didn't receive it. All seemed to go well; a few days later, she told me she was switching suppliers for the fabric. Fine, all's in order, she's making my dress. Or so I believed. A few weeks later--less than four weeks before my wedding--I haven't heard from her yet. I email her to set up a final fitting. She says she never received the check. But she didn't bother to tell me. All this time I thought she was making my dress! The "solution" she offers: how about I pay full price for the dress, but she won't guarantee that it'll be ready in time for my wedding, and it's nonrefundable even if she doesn't have it ready. If it's not ready, I can have some other dress (one I don't want, but that's convenient for her) instead. Um, no. So now I'm shopping for a maternity wedding dress on three weeks' notice. No problem, right? What a nightmare. Pregnant (and other) brides, don't shop here!

I am so disappointed to see all of these bad reviews on Jessica! I did not interact with her too…read moremuch, but I had a great experience and a lovely dress for my wedding! I bought my gown at a sample sale in Los Angeles. I put half of the money down and sent the 2nd half by check when the dress was ready to ship. I had plenty of time before my wedding, and she even shipped the gown 4 weeks ahead of what the contract said. It fit well, just needed minor alterations, the tags said 100% Organic silk. Overall, I was really happy. : )

Shauna with Santa Barbara Elopement is amazing! We're so glad we hired her as she was totally worth…read moreit! Shauna helped us plan our intimate wedding with only 2 weeks notice, she was always on top of it sending me referrals and keeping in contact. Our wedding day ended up having some crazy weather but Shauna was able to work around it all. We went with our back up location and due to the flash flood that was happening that day our guitarist couldn't make it but she found a last minute replacement that did great! Without her I would've been a stressed out mess but she took care of the problems behind the scenes so that I could enjoy my day. We even provided her with some flowers and she decorated our wedding cake beautifully. Definitely hire Shauna if you want someone reliable, friendly, and that's very knowledgeable in the industry.

Going with Santa Barbara Elopement was the best decision we made (aside from tying the knot of…read morecourse)! Shauna was our coordinator and right from the start, we knew it was the right fit. She was so comprehensive, detailed, and a great resource from the first email communication to first phone consultation to our first meeting. She recommended a variety of first class vendors. Our team - the officiant, photographer, flowers, and hair and makeup - were the A-Team and I wouldn't have had the experience, time, or knowledge to have found these talented people. So thankful for Shauna. I highly recommend the Santa Barbara Elopement Company is you are looking for guidance on your big day. We had an intimate wedding with them and everyone who went and saw from photos had nothing but great praise.

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. The flowers/decor, activities, flow of events, staff, security, bridal party preparation and coordination, photographers, catering... wow, wow, wow. She is so professional, so kind, so fun. She truly top of the top when it comes to planning of events. We highly recommend!
