Rachelle and Jason’s Rockwood Woman’s Club Wedding Celebration

Described as “the premier wedding and event venue of Santa Barbara, Rockwood is an architectural jewel that stands secluded among the giant oaks and lush greenery of historic Mission Canyon.”  We could not have said it better ourselves.   Just around the corner from the Queen of the Missions sits a venue that allows incredible layout options for feel and flow.  It is also affordable with plenty of guest parking and a blank canvas that is conducive to almost any event design plan.  And it also doesn’t hurt that it is conveniently located close to many of Santa Barbara’s hotels and inns for guests.

Rachelle and Jason chose a menu that paired well with the Spanish architecture in Santa Barbara and also so prominent at Rockwood.  We offered some California cuisine with touches of the local Hispanic culture and history of Santa Barbara blended in.  And then there was the dessert buffet……. chocolate ganache cheesecake anyone?

We love getting to know our couples and designing a menu that represents who they are, delights guests and also pairs well with the setting.   Congratulations, Rachelle and Jason!
