Maudie & Clark's Hope Ranch Wedding Celebration

An unincorporated suburb of Santa Barbara, Hope Ranch is a very upscale residential area boasting gorgeous estates, equestrian trails and views of the Santa Barbara mountains (and for lucky residents whose properties back up to the ocean cliffs, our gorgeous coastline). Its signature entry includes a palm-tree lined drive that tells you that you have arrived in Hope Ranch. Celebrities from Fess Parker, Snoop Dogg to political figures such as H.R. Haldeman have lived in or have homes in Hope Ranch.

Maudie and Clark’s wedding had all the relaxed pace associated with Hope Ranch and didn’t miss one spot of the elegance offered, either. Special touches included a Dog of Honor, specialty tree leaves from the local woods provided unique escort cards, and a dance floor built over the pool! For us, it’s about guests having an incredible time and no celebration would be complete without a Santa Barbara-fresh experience. One of our favorites is to produce events with food stations, where guests get to experience a variety of farm-fresh local goodness and choose what they personally desire in an interactive setting.
