Santa Barbara Wedding venues - a few of my personal favorites — Jillian Rose Photography | Los Angeles, Malibu & Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer

I've been shooting weddings on the West Coast for nearly 16 years and have had the opportunity to work at some of the most beautiful venues in Southern California.

The Santa Barbara and Ventura County areas are home to many luxury wedding venues so I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorites. There are far too many for one post so this may end up being a series of blogs. To start, I have included three stunning Santa Barbara Wedding venues that are sure to wow all your guests!

- Ojai Valley Inn is a hidden laid back luxury at its finest! With lush gardens, the famous Topatopa mountain backdrops, Spanish architecture, and luscious lawns, it's the perfect place for couples who want to have a luxury destination wedding of all sizes. They offer several different ceremony sites including the giant oak tree near the artists cottage or for a more private, intimate ceremony vibe, you can exchange vows in the Hacienda Courtyard. In addition to their beautiful ballrooms, they have their newly built modern Farmhouse venue as well!

- Belmond El Encanto in Santa Barbara is another great option for weddings with its sweeping ocean views and cute private cottages (also great for intimate ceremonies). Their lily pond makes an excellent built-in aisle or the perfect spot for couples portraits.

- Rosewood Miramar in Montecito has grand an estate lawn that make for gorgeous outdoor ceremonies and receptions. It's also a beautiful spot for portraits because of its amazing mountain views, private beach, luscious landscapes and inviting cobblestone pathways.
