Buddy's is our favorite wine bar in Ventura -- not even close. Alexis always has the most creative and hip ideas happening at the bar, and it was the best to have our wedding there. A great place to play music and dance or just have a drink or order pizza for a reception -- all possible. Couldn't recommend any more.

The Vineyards was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day! The entire team (Shadi, Jimmy, Soroor, Deena) was helpful from the moment we toured the Vineyards to the moment we left on our wedding day. The venue is beautiful, lush, and meticulously decorated. We chose to have our ceremony at the garden site and our reception in the ballroom. Our guests loved the venue and kept raving about the food. We had a very specific music-themed wedding, where we wanted to incorporate little touches of our story, and the venue and team were able to help us execute our vision seamlessly! They were very accommodating when we wanted to enter the venue early for hair and makeup and helped us with our timeline, which made everything on the day-of go smoothly. If we had to do our big day again, we would 100% choose the Vineyards every time! Thank you to the entire team, we are eternally grateful for your support.

We got married at Santa Barbara Courthouse right across the street and celebrated our reception at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Distillery — and it was absolutely perfect. When we were first searching for a venue, the first person we met was Andrew. He took the time to show us the space, listen to our vision, and truly understand not just what we wanted, but why we wanted it. From that very first meeting, he gave us the impression that this team puts the customer first — and that if something could be done, they would find a way to make it happen. That turned out to be completely true. From there, Melody and the rest of the team were communicative, quick, and direct, answering every question we had. The venue itself is spacious and stunning, with so much room to make the space entirely your own. We rented out all three spaces, which gave us the room to really spread out and create something special. One of our biggest selling points was that food, bartenders, tables, and chairs, etc were all included — we didn’t want to deal with coordinating a dozen third parties just to have the basics covered, and the fact that it was all taken care of in one place was such a relief. They also offer plenty of add-ons to customize your package, and they were completely flexible with us bringing in our own photobooth and DJ — making it easy to personalize every aspect of the day. The food was absolutely delicious (WE LOVE MIZZAs) and the team was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process. If we had a specific vision for something, they found a way to make it happen — no question too big, no detail too small. Our setup was elaborate and detail heavy, with our family and friends bringing our vision to life, and Andrew and the staff jumped right in to help without hesitation. They made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and fun. On the day itself, Melody, Andrew, and the whole team made everything feel effortless and magical. Everything went completely smoothly — we had absolutely no issues from start to finish, which is truly the greatest gift on your wedding day. They served dinner, kept the drinks flowing, and made sure we felt taken care of every single moment. Andrew especially went above and beyond — my husband is obsessed with the bruschetta, and Andrew made sure a plate was saved and ready for him the moment we arrived. It’s those little personal touches that set this team apart. So many thoughtful details made our day unforgettable: early access the day before to set up, staff coordinating with the restaurant next door to get our cake, letting me use the upstairs space to get into my dress before heading to the courthouse, preserving my flowers so I could enjoy them the next day, and giving us the grace to clean up the following morning without ever feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a venue where the team genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for your big day, look no further. We are so, so grateful and would recommend the Santa Barbara Courthouse Distillery to any couple looking for an incredible space to celebrate.
