We hired SPARK for a corporate event at Dos Pueblos Orchid Farms. It is a unique venue for a…read morecorporate event because the location does not have wifi, has bad cell service, and has minimal electrical outlets.  SPARK provided a very detailed quote and included things I forgot to even mention or didn't know we needed. They're very familiar with the venues in the area. They worked well based on the budget we had. Alex and his team also went to the venue for a site visit where we discovered a huge echo in the venue. They were creative and worked on ways to fix it. They also made sure our video wall wouldn't have a glare and we would have shading for when the sun hit directly on the greenhouse. Alex was also great as we had a bunch of performers who needed additional A/V support. He reached out to them and knew exactly what they needed. The team spent hours and hours setting up. It really was a huge production. On the day of, everything was great! The wifi went smoothly and the on-site techs were helpful. One thing to note is that our event was not completely waterproof so when it rained between day 1 and 2, SPARK had to make a few adjustments as some outlets weren't functioning and there was water on some things. They did so quickly before guests arrived. The before & after pictures don't even show all the work put into this! Alex and his team should have been hired for Fyre Fest because they are amazing with producing great events no matter what difficulties there are.

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!

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!
