One of the best parts of our job is seeing the variety of event styles. Sometimes the most intimate weddings are the sweetest, as was the case with McKenzie and Paul at the historic Stow House. Their wedding day was filled with DIY touches and an understated, more relaxed feel while the couple focused on being with those they loved and a delicious meal with flawless service all in a historic Santa Barbara setting.
The historic Stow House offers gardens and grounds which are perfect for intimate or large celebrations, as well as affords a bit of nostalgia for couples: as the historic central location for the lemon trade in 1872 in Goleta, couples can say “I do” under the same redwood trees that the the Stows received as a gift on their 1st year anniversary in 1873.
