We ordered the nachos with pulled pork, Mac and cheese with brisket, and two burgers. We underestimated how much food was coming out . Not only was it huge portions, everything also tasted so good.

Super disappointing. We split brisket, ribs, and slaw.

But there was nothing special about the way it was made and my gf couldn't even eat the brisket due to the consistency of it. I could taste the profit margins with each bite. The best summary of it - later in the day a friend asked "how was it?" and we kind of looked at each other with quiet disappointment. On the bright side, this may have been the catalyst I needed to actual try being a pescatarian.

The night of the party (which was outdoors), there was a light sprinkle in the air, and Dalina helped to make sure we had things set up properly and that the kids all had the best of times. Together, we worked through all the day-of-details, and we were able to have an affordable, beautiful and memorable celebration for my daughter's momentous occasion. I would highly recommend Dalina. She is a master of parties big or small, is a wealth of information and is super dependable. Having someone like her in your corner, who has many years of experience, a great rapport with so many vendors, and who can help with ideas and decisions, is priceless. Don't wait-- hire her now!

This review is long overdue! We got married back in October at the Santa Barbara Club (a great and…read moreunderrated venue) and chose Amazing Days Events to plan our wedding and we're so glad we did. Sophie and her team were on top of every detail, which made the process so much less stressful than I expected, and when the day came, we were able to fully enjoy it, which you can't really put a price on! The whole thing was beautiful and went seamlessly, even my family and wedding party agreed! Everything was so organized, and I appreciated their responsiveness and diligence throughout the process. I loved working with them so much, I recommended Sophie to my cousin who is getting married this year and am so exited to attend her wedding because I know it will also be Amazing! Thank you Sophie, Xochilt, and Megan!!! We are eternally grateful :-) -Natalie & Peter

We ended up having rain the week of our wedding and ADE jumped into action to come up with a rain plan and work with our vendors to change design and rentals.

If you are looking for a planner that is organized, a design genius, and well respected by vendors -- HIRE the ADE team!! You will not be disappointed and you will have a lot of fun planning your special day.

The Santa Barbara Club is a hidden gem of a venue, one that my husband and I were fortunate to…read morediscover through word-of-mouth! From contract signature to the wedding day, we were met every step of the way with the kindness and professionalism of Alejandra and her team. This dream of a venue provides high-quality catering, linens, tables, chairs, place settings, space to get ready, and so much more. We didn't have to bring in any rentals, which was a huge relief. With the Santa Barbara Club you receive the unique aesthetic balance of a classic country club and a beautiful English Garden all in one space. We had 130 guests roughly. I also want to take a moment to say that the food served at the venue is so good, that we received very very high praise from our guests (some saying it was the best meal they'd ever had at a wedding ever)! My husband and I are foodies and so quality of food was a top priority for us. We will always have a special place in our hearts for The Santa Barbara Club. They helped to create a dream wedding for us and we will always have such positive memories of the day.

Plan b again, but let's change plan b 4 times to make it as perfect as we can. The club was absolutely amazing accommodating all our needs. They were so patient with all our changes prior to the wedding. I think I was in there every other day coming up with ideas with the weather change. The day of the event, everyone was so helpful and professional. The food was fantastic, service impeccable and our guests had a blast. Thank you to all for pivoting so graciously to make our daughter and now son in-laws day fantastic. The event was so warm and cozy. Special shout out to Julie Steele, Alexandra, and chef!!!

We had toured a lot of venues in our search for 'the one' and we loved The Factory as it provided the perfect backdrop to customize our reception to our own vision. The team was incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and helped us figure out every detail from our rental order, to food and beverage selection (all delicious), to live entertainment (having Brett & Co. play live jazz for the dinner hour was an incredible suggestion.) Everyone went above and beyond on the actual day to make sure our reception went off without a hitch. Our guests raved about the space and the thoughtfulness of the staff, and we absolutely loved the refined-yet-laid-back vibe The Factory afforded us. Dining and dancing under the stars in their little slice of Santa Barbara is something we could do over and over again. We would absolutely recommend hosting your event here! -Brian & Shaun

Our wedding was super small (18 people) and planned in only 4 months and The Factory team was willing to work with us every step of the way to bring our vision to life and stay within our budget (we never felt pressured and they were willing to be creative to help us cut down on cost). The venue can expand and contract to fit your needs and we loved how they were able to create a space that felt cozy and intimate for our small guest count. Especially great when kids are apart of the mix, because there's an enclosed space for them to run around and play. Food from Satellite was top-notch too. Drew was onsite to attend to all of our needs day-of. When in doubt, just book it! You won't regret it. We love The Factory!!

You have to make reservations to be seated but we came on a weekday so that was easy. Very upscale cozy bar. We came towards the end of the and missed the live music so would definitely keep that on my radar for next time. The drink menu is extensive and they literally have something for everyone. From scotch, vodka, rum, champagne and even absinthe towers, to nonalcoholic drinks like sodas and mocktails- there will be something for you. Many more I didn't list but I can bet they have it. It's on the pricier side, but again this is a place expected for that. The peanuts they make are a great snack and the ambience gave me joy to see all the ornaments hanging from the ceiling. The service was amazing and we felt welcomed and cared for. Hopefully one day we can stay as guests at this beautiful hotel.
