Sending this lovely couple all the happiness in the world! Witnessing their love was truly special, and seeing them so enamored with each other after nine years together was beautiful. If you have a weakness for all things Japanese, this celebration might make your heart skip a beat. Sweet touches like anime place cards, origami cranes and toasts were made with sake of course!
This occasion perfectly highlighted the love of two high school sweethearts. Their love burns bright as ever, growing stronger each and every day. Tyler and Jessica's celebration was a true family affair. A big shoutout to the groom's mother Jaimie, for organizing the entire night and making the loft dreamy with her decorations. The space was full of darling details like personalized mason jars for each person, loads of framed photos, pretty signage and little potted plants. In an ode to their family's roots, the celebration had rustic touches and plenty of Southern charm.
The bride and groom pulled together to create the center-pieces and a photo booth. But here is the pinnacle of a DIY wedding, Doreen made her own dress. Yes, you heard that right. That gorgeous dress you see was stitched by the bride herself. As if the months leading up to a wedding isn't stressful enough, props girl!
TaRell and Kalyse's reception was an absolute blast with guests dancing to songs hand-picked by the bride and groom. This was a true celebration or shall we say party of love. There was plenty of laughing, dancing, smiling, joking, eating and drinking! However in an ode to the traditional, the bouquet and garter were thrown for a lucky man and woman to anticipate their own turn walking down the aisle. Classic Party Rentals transformed the loft into a classic reception space while local favorite, Mony's Taqueria filled guests tummies from their taco truck. Sweet wedding wishes, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson!
Ah, the beginning of June— the cusp between spring and summer. The first taste of summer has been savored with it's seemingly endless days and the comforting warmth of the sun upon one's skin. Bright. Inviting. Exciting. Optimistic. A time for shedding layers, literally and figuratively. A time of year to look forward to. The most symbolic season of the year in regards to marriage. Even though June can be finicky here in Santa Barbara, with unpredictable fog. Jessica and Jared burned right through the marine layer with their love. Burning bright and intensely like the summer sun.
The celebration marked the joining of two families into one and the night couldn't have happened without the support of the bride and grooms' loved ones. It was a true family affair with kids running around putting smiles on faces. Everyone pulled together to make this rehearsal night special! Bravo to Mike, the groom's father and uncle for preparing a full Italian spread for dinner and to Roberta, the groom's mom for creating a beautiful event down to the last detail.
Spring has sprung, its time for love! The sun, shining. The air, warm. The couple, madly in love. After tying the knot at the Santa Barbara Courthouse our most recent wedding party continued their celebration here at The Narrative. From the florals to the linen, this reception was a breath of spring. Brenda from Gatherings for Good planned this day of love, with a portion of the event fees going to charity. So awesome! Our friends over at Bella Vista Designs and Amigo Party Rentals created a gorgeous backdrop for the evening.
Valentine's Day is here and love is in the air! We wish a joyous v-day to all the wonderful couples that chose our space as the setting for a chapter in their own love stories and for included us in such a special day of their lives. While we can't send a bouquet of red roses to every bride and groom that have walked through our door. We can send you all a virtual valentine A.K.A. a blog with a few of your smiling faces, as a toast to your love and our gratitude for all of you!
When two people tie-the-knot they make a vow to take on life's adventures side by side. For this lovely reception the bride and groom utilized our surround sound Sonos system with a hand-picked playlist for the big day! During dinner music by John Williams, composer of the scores from Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones and many more played in the background. Tamara's Catering kept stomachs happy with a build your own burrito station.
We're swooning over this gorgeous gathering! Jordan and Erik stole our hearts with their enchanting wedding! Every detail screams romance with gold hues and pink accents. Cargo Creative styled the entire affair and decked the loft with her floral designs. Wow! We're absolutely in love with the cake that The Sugar Lab baked up and guests were delighted to music by
Check out this darling DIY wedding. The bride and groom made their wedding pop with personal details they created themselves. Twinkling string lights, handmade table cards, and personalized M&M's as their names are Michelle and Mark! DJ's California Catering provided scrumptious handcrafted food for the 95 guests and Patrick Butler Entertainment kept everyone's feet a moving.
There is something so enchanting and romantic about a winter wedding. Having it right before Christmas when the entire world seems a glow makes it even more charming. With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays it's hard to imagine the stress of planning a wedding this time of year, but this couple and their family pulled it off beautifully! Props and congratulations to this lovely duo!
