Our wedding could not have gone as smoothly as it did without her! 10/10 I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in Santa Barbara!! read more

Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator - Money dance! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Carpinteria, California

We had a wonderful experience working with Toby for our wedding at Whispering Rose Ranch. Despite us choosing a venue she had not worked out before, she went to the venue to scout it out for us and learned some important details from other wedding planners about our space to guide our planning. We had a large wedding (over 200 people) and a very large vendor team, she handled all the details seamlessly. On the wedding day itself, everything ran very smoothly and we were care free. Her day of team was wonderful! We even forgot to pick up some of our desserts and one of her team members ran out during the wedding to get it for us! The entire event felt thoughtful, beautiful, and incredibly well executed. So many of our guests commented on it being one of the best weddings they ever attended. Beyond being a very experienced planner, Toby is a kind and wonderful person to work with. read more

We hired SB Wedding Coordinator with Toby as our day-of coordinator, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Toby has a huge network within the Santa Barbara wedding scene, which made finding and coordinating with other vendors a breeze. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everyone knew exactly where to be and when, keeping the entire day running seamlessly. She went above and beyond--moving signage and floral arrangements throughout the day to match where guests were gathered, adding thoughtful touches I didn't even have to ask for. Leading up to the wedding, Toby was incredibly responsive, answering every call, text, and email with patience and care. I truly couldn't have done it without Toby and her amazing team read more

Toby absolutely blew us away, from beginning to end! Her incredible attention to detail is unmatched. She thought of things that we never would have ourselves. Every step of the way was made 100x easier because of her ability to communicate so beautifully (and patiently) with us as well as with all our vendors. She has strong relationships with such amazing vendors who trust her deeply, which also made any slip-ups from our end totally smooth because they know and trust her. The day of our wedding was made absolutely flawless because of Toby. She created our timeline and helped us stick to it, without ever making us feel bombarded or rushed at ANY point of the night. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience with a coordinator. To top it all off, she is so kind and thoughtful. We're so grateful to have had her as our wedding coordinator and highly highly recommend her services! read more

My husband and I were married on 10/24/20 and we worked with Toby of Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinators as our "day of" planner. Upon meeting Toby for the first time she explained that there is no such thing as a "day of" coordinator. That by working with her she would help manage every fine detail up to the end of our wedding and that she did! She even helped us select vendors such as our caterers at Pure Joy who made the most delicious food our guests had ever had at a wedding. Toby tactfully & honestly helped me get my head wrapped around a realistic wedding budget and managed a wedding rehearsal I wasn't sure I needed due to such a small wedding. At the end of the day, our wedding exceeded our expectations. My husband and I highly recommend Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator. read more

Our experience working with Toby was exceptional, beginning with our initial consultation call. Toby's expertise, wisdom, and organization played a crucial role in ensuring the success of our wedding day. In comparison to other coordinators we considered, her value was also unmatched. Upon hiring her, Toby wasted no time in getting everything in motion, providing support and guidance throughout our ENTIRE planning process. She is professional, calm, kind, and genuinely cares. We highly recommend her services. Thank you, Toby! read more

Toby ensured that my Santa Barbara wedding day flowed seamlessly. I was able to wake up that morning and truly be present the whole day because I knew she had every little detail covered. She is incredibly organized and knowledgeable, and readily provided suggestions and options that I would not have considered. She made my vision for the day come to life better than I could have imagined. Toby was so helpful through every step of planning. Super grateful for all that she did! Hana & Steve read more

Toby is a great planner! Organized, Professional, Experienced and lovely to work with. Would hire her again. She guided us all to and through the beautiful wedding day we envisioned. We were 125 people all from out of town, including the wedding party! She was great! Mother of the bride, Ann Seltzer Date of wedding 5/20/23 read more

Do yourself a huge favor and hire Toby as your coordinator. She went above and beyond for us and we will be grateful to her forever. Honestly, there is not enough space in this box for me to properly sing her praises. I knew I liked Toby the moment we spoke because she's someone who just gets it. Not to mention, unlike most other planners I spoke to in this price point, she allows the line of communication to be open throughout the ENTIRE wedding process as opposed to 30 days out, etc. making her package the most bang for your buck out there. She is prompt, knowledgable and sweet as sugar. Every vendor she pointed us towards was lovely and talented. I was so worried about wedding planning being stressful, but she made it so easy. On a more personal note as well, we were a couple set to marry in Spring 2020. When we had to postpone, not only did Toby swoop in and completely handle moving our date for us, she also pulled out all the stops to impromptu plan the most beautiful elopement I could have ever dreamed of. A lot of things didn't go our way, like so many other 2020 couples, but Toby saved our day and we are eternally grateful. No matter how sad we felt about our postponement, whenever we spoke to her she had a smile on her face and infectious enthusiasm that got us excited. It was a huge gift in a very trying time. 1000% recommend! We can't wait to work with her again in 2021! She's become so much more than our coordinator, she's our wedding guardian angel. read more

We had the perfect wedding (2/26/22) and the most amazing day all thanks to Toby and her team. Toby was so easy to work with and made the planning process fun; she's extremely organized which my Type A personality truly appreciated. She ensured we were focused on the important moments and removed all stress from the day. I'm SURE there were hurdles that Toby handled without us knowing they existed. I highly recommend Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator to anyone getting married in the area! read more

Toby is an amazing wedding coordinator. She made our day very special. We could not have had the most magical day without her. She comes highly recommended. read more

Toby was one of the most important factors in making our kids wedding the best and easiest day ever. I had zero stress due to her diligence and helping us plan everything out with great care and attention to detail. One thing I especially appreciated was that she protected the bride from a couple small glitches that came up. I cannot recommend Toby highly enough. read more

If Toby Theule can handle a 2020 wedding, she can handle anything. Our original dream wedding was perfectly planned and coordinated for April 2020, about one month after the entire country shut down. At that time, there was a ton of panic in the event industry and not a ton of solid guidance from local authorities on what events were and were not allowed. Somehow, Toby new exactly what to do and was able to talk us down the ledge from having a massive panic attack about the whole thing. She helped us reschedule all of our vendors for October, made sure we didn't lose a dime, and helped us plan an entirely new (covid-safe) intimate ceremony with our family. And when we found the new, perfectly intimate venue that doesn't usually allow events, she was able to convince them to trust us to have our wedding there. Throughout it all, she made sure to ask all of the questions that we never even considered, helped us make decisions that kept us within budget, and was so understanding when we had no idea what we were doing. She was even so thoughtful about getting a quick picture of my dad kissing my cheek right before he walked me down the aisle. The big kicker is that she did it all with grace, humor, heart, and smiles. We absolutely adore Toby and highly recommend working with her. It will be the best investment you could possibly make for your wedding. read more

I'm amazed at the amount of work and coordination that goes into creating an entire wedding event on a private property! Everything from workers to ovens, kitchen sinks, umbrellas, music, food, golf carts, shuttle bus, party favors, even trash bins and executive restrooms were transported to our private home turning it into a magical wedding that no one could have dreamed better. Toby Theule performed as a Wonder Woman for our son's wedding, working closely with the bride to pull it all together. Toby's years of experience were evident as she guided us through decisions we would have failed to consider, she was helpful in always pointing us down the right path. She was also very willing to learn of new vendors we wanted to bring onboard, all of whom loved working with her. The event was so perfect, and we will be forever grateful to Toby and her team for doing all the hard work in juggling so many balls in the air at once. We're forever grateful, Toby, thank you!! read more

Toby is amazing! What would we have done without her?! Having Toby coordinate our daughter's wedding was like working with a consummate professional and a dear friend at the same time. She is organized, knowledgeable, connected, and supremely gifted in coordinating beautiful and memorable events. At the same time, Toby is personable, caring, listens to you, and so supportive every step of the way. We're extremely thankful for Toby, for how easy and enjoyable it was to work with her, and for the wonderful wedding and reception she coordinated for us. We love you, Toby! read more

Toby exceeded all our expectations as our wedding coordinator. We hired her for day-of coordination for our wedding in a blank space. The venue was a rental property that had only just begun to host weddings, and only had a couple under their belt. Since it was such a "young" venue, we knew there could be a chance for unexpected issues to come up- and they did. As a blank slate space, we brought in a dozen independent vendors for food, service, bathroom trailers, lighting, table/chair rentals, dj, etc. Even though we had hired for day-of coordination, rather than using her full services, Toby went above and beyond, and helped out from the very beginning by recommending great vendors that were organized, reliable, and well-priced, and made sure we had all of our bases covered. About 3 weeks before our wedding date, we found out that the venue changed their policy and no longer allowed guest parking onsite or street parking in the immediate area. It was a shock to us, as we had already mailed our invitations and communicated the arrival info to our guests- and it was a scramble to figure out what to do next. Toby really shined through and like a true professional handled EVERYTHING - she negotiated a discount with the venue, found us a shuttle vendor, and organized a parking lot for our guests. The best part was that she did it with her usual confident, upbeat attitude, which really helped lower our stress levels. There were many, many moving pieces with our wedding, and we are SO happy to have found Toby. She really helped us feel at ease and kept us on track with our priorities and timeline. She has the most awesome, positive personality, and handled everything calmly and professionally. With so much potential chaos around, Toby really helped the entire evening run smoothly. We were able to enjoy the night with friends and family, thanks to her. If you are wondering whether you have room in the budget for a coordinator- you NEED to make room. From the start, I KNEW I wanted a day-of coordinator, but never could have predicted how much I ended up relying on Toby for much more than just that day. She was well worth it, and a necessary part of our wedding expenses. I highly recommend Toby, and would hire her again in a heartbeat if I found myself needing to plan a wedding. read more

My daughter got married on May 28th, 2022 and Toby was thorough, thoughtful, and very good at coordinating all the vendors so I didn't need to worry about a thing. The wedding day was enjoyable for us because Toby gracefully and professionally took care of all the details. read more

We interviewed a few coordinators for the "day-of" coordination, but as soon as Toby and I got on the phone, I knew immediately she was different. She clearly had a lot of wisdom to impart on me (our first wedding) and she gave me a lot of things to think about, plus not only that, laid out a timeline in which we can accomplish it together. She definitely went above and beyond of her "day-of" duties and helped immensely --got on multiple phone calls, was accessible, gave us mini missions, reminded us of deadlines, helped us get top vendors, even met up with us multiple times. In your search of finding day of coordinators, I guarantee that no other professional will devote that much time to you as much as Toby does. Of course, the day of our wedding, she and her assistant helped every guest have a wonderful time and stage-managed flawlessly. Our guests even made a note to me how helpful she was. Thank you so much Toby for investing your energy in us as people--that is your invaluable love language. read more

This review is long overdue, but I had to make sure and leave a review so other people know about the amazing service Toby provides. My wife and I attended school at UCSB and thought Santa Barbara would be the ideal location for our wedding. We live in San Francisco and knew that without having someone local to help us with things, we would be in way over our heads. My wife started researching local wedding coordinators and making phone calls. We were looking to have roughly 100 guests and keep our budget at about $35K or less. Believe it or not we actually had other wedding coordinators tell us there would be no way we could have a wedding in Santa Barbara for that amount of money. After that phone call we were definitely feeling discouraged. Enter Toby Theule, wedding planner extraordinaire. From the first conversation we knew we had the right person. Originally we were just going to have her help with the rehearsal dinner and day of coordination. After a second phone call we realized her rates were so reasonable we decided to go with the full wedding planning service, and it was the best decision we could have made. We told Toby what we were looking for in a venue and on the day we went to Santa Barbara to scout venues, Toby met us and drove us around all day looking. She had things on her list that we had never heard of as well as things that we didn't think we could ever afford. Turns out because venues price things so differently, some of the places that we thought were way out of our price range, turned out to be roughly the same price as places we thought were within our budget. Ultimately we decided to go with The Santa Barbara Club. Even though I worked at the drug store across the street for 2 years while in college I had no idea this venue even existed. It turned out to be perfect, and we had an amazing day. Not only did Toby find us an amazing venue, since she obviously was the one with the local knowledge she had a couple photographers and florists as well. We went with La Fleur du Jour for the flowers (Gennavieve is AMAZING and I highly recommend her as well) and Michael L'Heureux Photography (also amazing, and I can't say enough good things about him either.) Toby coordinated with these vendors as well as our linens supplier (who was also supplying the heaters and dance floor) to make sure everything was going to be delivered on time. She introduced us to the people at Enjoy Cupcakes and picked up the cupcakes for the wedding the day of the event. We made 2 trips prior to the wedding for food tastings and a few other things we wanted to be on hand for, but outside of that Toby took care of it all. The day of the wedding, my wife and I did not have to worry about anything. I know I'm probably forgetting about 50 other things that she did for us, but at I think you get the point. If you're talking to Toby and debating whether or not she is the coordinator for you, do yourself a favor and book her before someone else steals her on your date. My wife and I both say that what we spent with Toby was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding. Thanks for everything Toby! Sorry it took me so long to get this written. read more

Hiring Toby will be the best decision you can make during your wedding planning process. She exceeded every expectation we had and quite literally saved our wedding day. My fiancé and I were not prepared for rain for our outdoor wedding so when the unexpected rain forecast rolled in we were devastated. Toby worked tirelessly to make our wedding as special as we had hoped for. She spent days putting together multiple rain plan options for us and spent hours and hours on the phone with all of our vendors coordinating the new plans. In the end, the day turned out even more beautiful than we were anticipating, all thanks to Toby. Her attention to detail is impeccable both with the decor and timeline. She kept us on schedule while assessing the behaviors of our guests and adjusting the timeline accordingly. She consistently checked in on us and anticipated our needs before we did. She is organized, adaptable, collected, and an absolute joy to work with. An extremely necessary part of any wedding budget, I highly recommend hiring Toby. Our day would not have been the same without her. read more

Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator - Thank you Toby for all you help with our wedding! You are amazing! Thank you ! Thank you!!! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Carpinteria, California

After our wedding was postponed in August 2020 and our venue remained closed into well 2021, we decided to switch gears and plan a smaller wedding at new location. Toby was highly recommend by Pure Joy Catering. We gave her a call, and from that moment on she stepped up to help us quickly plan a much smaller wedding at an entirely new location 8 weeks prior to our new wedding date. Toby is extremely connected to all the local vendors in Santa Barbara and shared amazing recommendations for music, lights/power and transportation. She is very organized, an expert at juggling the many vendors, shares greats tips for how to have a smooth wedding day, and is always a pleasure to be around! We thank Toby so much for helping to make our new wedding day absolutely perfect! read more

Toby was incredible from start to finish! She was with us every step of the way and connected us with a number of great vendors, while helping us navigate the wedding preparation in Santa Barbara. My wife and I are from Los Angeles, so it was so nice to have someone who knew the area and was as friendly and knowledgeable as Toby. The day went off without a hitch, and Toby and her team were totally on the ball throughout. They were efficient and organized, and it was a fantastic day all around. Thanks for everything Toby! read more

I could not imagine there being any wedding planner out there that's better than Toby! She is a MUST HIRE! We live in San Diego so we needed to hire a planner to help plan our wedding in Carpinteria. We hired her as our part time planner for our wedding in 2019 and due to COVID, ended up working with her until June 2021! She puts in so much extra effort that she felt like we hired a full time planner. She was there for us every step of the way from Day 1, during COVID and our postponement, and was excellent on our wedding day. Her assistant is great too! Toby goes above and beyond to make sure all of your questions are answered/responded to very promptly and makes you feel confident in every decision you make. She has a great list of recommended vendors as well! Not to mention, she has a super fun and bubbly personality which makes working with her fun! Highly Highly recommend you hire her! read more

My husband and I got married in October 2012 and regrettably, I am just now finding time to write a review for Toby. Part of my delay is that realistically, there are not nearly enough nice and fitting words to match the phenomenal service and support Toby provided during the planning and day of our wedding. As my husband told me on the day of our wedding, "You know, I thought you were crazy for wanting a coordinator. In hindsight, I see the value. We should have hired Toby for full services rather than just day of coordination. And I have to tell Toby that her fees really don't match her services, she should charge more!" Well, yes after the fact, that is easy for him to say. But I must admit, Toby was worth her weight in gold. We initially hired her for day of coordination because we had our ceremony at the SB Courthouse, which required someone onsite during the entire reservation block. In short: you cannot go wrong with Toby! She is professional, courteous and responsive. And most importantly, I really do believe she loves what she does and cares about her clients and making sure that their vision becomes reality. If you'd like more details, continue reading! Toby was extremely responsive during the planning stage. We had two planning meetings and they went very well. Toby was attentive and mindful of our requests. Now mind you, as I mentioned before, my husband did not quite understand why we were thinking about spending our highly valuable wedding dollars on a coordinator, but after meeting with Toby...he got it. We were not planning to have a traditional ceremony and were also being married by my husband's cousin who had never performed a wedding ceremony before. Toby was great in advising us on aspects of the ceremony that we most likely never would have thought of without her. As far as the ceremony and reception timelines went, Toby listened to what we were thinking of doing and made recommendations, some we went with and others we didn't. In retrospect, I wished we had gone with the recommendations. There are very few things I would change about our wedding day and one of them was a decision that my husband and I made despite Toby's advice. WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO HER!!! And even though I did not hire her for full services, Toby was quick to provide vendor recommendations. I ran into a hiccup with my initial hair and makeup artist and she referred me to a local SB vendor who came through and made me feel at ease. Additionally our reception venue came with an onsite event planner, who was fabulous in her own right. However, throughout my wedding research I had heard horror stories of coordinators and onsite event planners not getting along and having "turf issues". I must say, even though this was the first time Toby and the onsite event planner had worked together, there was never an issue and the two of them worked beautifully together to pull off an awesome wedding! Toby has been a coordinator for many years and has worked a wide array of weddings. No matter what style of wedding you are planning, I am confident Toby can not only "pull it off" but also leave you with the same memories that we have...our wedding vision came alive just as we wanted and the day went exactly as planned. Even more than six months later, my husband and I are receiving unsolicitated comments on how our wedding was "so much fun" and "the best ever"! I believe this is a testiment to the awesome team we pulled together of which Toby was an intergral part. We did not have one single "disaster" or "incident", at least not one that we are aware of or had to deal with and our intention of providing our guests with an awesome and memorable event was executed beautifully. We truly got to enjoy our day, family and friends; my only issue...is that the day went by so fast! My advice, don't forget to steal away a few private moments with your beloved! If anyone has additional questions or would like further referral information, feel free to get my contact information from Toby. read more

Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator - Our wedding ceremony at the Santa Barbara Courthouse went PERFECTLY thanks to Toby's hard work! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Carpinteria, California

My daughter got married August 2, 2015 in Santa Barbara and was doing most of the planning long distance from San Diego. We decided to get a wedding coordinator to help us with "the day of" and reached out to Toby. Oh my! that was the best move ever. Not only did Toby help us with the million details the weekend of the wedding, but she spent hours on the phone getting to know my daughter and her vision for the event. Toby was supportive, organized, detail oriented and so friendly. She was the best money we spent on the whole event. We can't imagine this magical weekend without thinking of how helpful it was to have Toby behind the scenes making it all come to fruition. read more

Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator - Toby was the best event coordinator ever! She helped with planning, the rehearsal and made the wedding day perfect! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Carpinteria, California

We were blessed to find Toby in a random yelp search. She was a great match to be our wedding coordinator in Santa Barbara. We chose to have the ceremony at the Courthouse Gardens and the reception at Hotel Milo. Toby had extensive experience coordinating weddings at the Courthouse Gardens, so we were in very capable hands. We live in the SF Bay Area so it was key to have a coordinator by our side. Toby did a great job; everything turned out beautifully. From our first zoom meeting, she was attentive, smart, organized, encouraging, and full of good ideas and twenty plus years of experience. She had a ready group of vendors including caterer, flowers, musicians, and event rentals. She stayed within the budget we gave her. She worked very well with the Hotel manager. Hotel Milo does not regularly host wedding receptions. Toby was an integral part and went above and beyond when she hand delivered the food boxes for the mixer which followed our rehearsal at the hotel gardens.The app we used for inviting and communicating with our guests (withjoy.com) was suggested by Toby and worked very well. She also had a site of her own for tracking all of the vendor contracts and details but this ended up not being useful to us simply because she introduced it to us well into the process and we had already tracked everything on our own googesheet. Toby was cheerful and calm always; this was super great especially on the big day when the groom was a little tense. On the big weekend, Toby was always where she needed to be. We never had to ask "where is Toby?". She knew exactly what to do and where to be at every moment; the results were outstanding and we felt well cared for! read more

Toby is a super sweet woman, mom, friend, and WEDDING COORDINATOR! We are vendor friends and I know she is organized, calm, and totally together on your wedding day. Absolutely worth getting to know! No need to look anywhere else, she is your coordinator! read more

Highly recommend Toby for any planning needs. Toby did a really great job on our wedding - it was perfect! She really was on top of things, especially the day of, and made sure everyone was on schedule and all of the decor was where it was supposed to be! I used Toby for full wedding planning services and she was a great help through the whole planning process, working with the vendors and making my life easier. She is really positive, friendly, and definitely made the whole stress of planning a wedding manageable. Highly recommend her, great value for how much work she puts into the wedding and all of her knowledge / experience in doing this so many years! read more

If you are looking for an enthusiastic and well- organized Wedding Coordinator, Toby is your gal. From the first time you meet her, you'll know you're in good hands.

Toby was an invaluable investment in our wedding planning. From the moment I first made contact with her on the phone I knew she was the right person to help support my husband and I through the mysterious terrain of wedding planning! Toby is warm, positive, completely organized, competent, and available. She is a "cross every T" kinda person, exactly what you want for the job! She was there for us through on-site meetings, planning sessions, and innumerous phone calls and emails. She also acted as a liason between the wedding venue and myself (as well as all of our vendors) which eliminated an enormous amount of stress. On the day of the rehearsal as well as the wedding day itself, Toby kept every detail on point without my having to think about a thing. Our wedding was fairly DIY and the venue required a lot of logistic organization-- she held it all together. Every once in a while she'd find me and say "5 minutes til..." and that was all I needed to know. Having Toby at our wedding allowed me to be present and fully experience my wedding day, which is the point! I could not be more pleased with her help as a coordinator, and as a person. read more

Professional. Energetic. Creative. Caring. Sweet as pie...that's Toby! With a kind heart and a listening ear, she will take your wedding dreams and make them happen. I've worked with Toby as a makeup artist/hair stylist for her events, and would highly recommend her to any bride and groom who want their wedding day to be a dream come true. It will be the best decision you'll ever make!! read more

Toby was great! We started planning almost 2 years out, so we had a few "change of minds"! Toby was flexible and willing to give her opinion, ideas, pros, cons, etc. for anything we had in mind.

Toby did an exceptional job planning this wedding. I'm a musician that she hired for the event, she was highly organized, creative and a pleasure to work with and the couple were very impressed with her professionalism.

Toby did an amazing job helping to coordinate our wedding! We loved working with her through the entire process. Her referrals were so awesome and everyone was perfect for us and our budget. She was a huge help given that we had to plan the wedding from a distance. But Toby's referrals and help the day of the wedding made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. She was more than helpful and accommodating throughout and I am so glad that she was a huge part of our big day! read more
