KB Events - Santa Barbara, California

Karina Farris

We had our wedding in October at the Riviera Mansion in Santa Barbara and were referred to KB Events by the venue. I could not recommend them enough and am so grateful I had them leading the charge for our wedding.

Hannah was our Lead Planner and made the entire planning process and day-of simple and seamless. Her can-do attitude, chic recommendations and incredible organizational skills made our wedding go off without a single glitch (at least that I was aware of 😉 )!

On one of our first meetings, Hannah told me to give all of the stress that comes with planning a wedding to her, so I did! I felt stress-free the entire process and even on my wedding day knowing that Hannah was in charge. She is so capable and confident and absolutely crushed the event and managed not only our vendors, but also our guests with grace.

I wish I could get married again to plan another banger of a wedding with Hannah & KB Events!!

KB Events made my dream wedding come true. Their team went above and beyond in every detail, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to our reception. We were able to relax and enjoy the day, knowing that KB Events had everything under control. They made sure everything ran smoothly, keeping things right on schedule! Since the big day, I've received countless compliments from our guests about how wonderful everything was.

If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is dedicated, thorough, and truly cares about making your day as special as possible, look no further. Thank you again, Katie, Adam, and Hannah at KB Events for making our wedding day everything we could have hoped for and more!

Our daughter just got married in CA and we live in TX. Hannah and KB Events were amazing and the wedding day came off without a hitch. It was SOOO helpful to have them help plan the wedding from across the country and I’d seriously consider “importing” their team to wherever either of our remaining daughters gets married. They were that good! 5 out of 5, would highly recommend!!

Professional, Organized, and Experienced. How lucky we are to have had Katie and Adam plan our wedding. They guided us on an eleven month journey, from our first time meeting to our wedding day, and catered to us every chance they could along the way. I am forever thankful for their time and dedication.

Katie, Adam, and the rest of the KB Events team are truly fantastic to work with. Beyond their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization (mentioned in just about every review here), I think what makes them a top tier wedding planning service is their deep connection to the wedding industry in Santa Barbara. Over their careers, they have developed strong relationships with every vendor in the area. They were able to quickly identify the appropriate vendors for our needs and price point and get accurate quotes. From the hair stylists to the DJ to the caterer, every vendor we worked with commented on how lucky we were to be under Katie and Adam’s care and how easy it was to work with them.
The results speak for themselves. My wife and I’s wedding went off seamlessly, and we were able to enjoy it to the fullest because Katie and Adam made sure there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
Do yourself a favor and work with KB Events. It will be the best money you spend on your wedding.

Katie, Adam and the KB Events team made our dreams come true.

When my now-husband (!) and I decided to get married in California - where I’m originally from and where my family still lives - we were daunted by the prospect of planning a wedding from the other side of the country (we live on the East Coast). That trepidation dissipated as soon as we contacted KB Events.

We had talked to a few other individuals and companies in the early stages of exploring the possibility of hiring planners to help with our wedding. None of them treated us with the care and respect that Katie and Adam did when we first spoke with them, before we had even signed a contract. We knew they were really something special when, in the time between my inquiry email and our introductory call with them, they had already managed to place a soft hold on our first choice venue, on our first choice date - a venue that to this point, we had not been able to get ahold of! They made us feel like their only clients - a theme that carried through until our wedding day. They listened to what we were looking to do and offered ways to make it happen. Katie and Adam prioritized taking our ideas and making them a reality. I really wanted to highlight the charm of Santa Barbara with our wedding details, and the final result was better than I could have ever imagined (the lemons! The olive oil! The TROLLEY!)

Katie and Adam laid out a timeline for all the key milestones we would need to hit leading up to our wedding, accounting for every major (venue, date, florist) and minor (silverware selection, placement of napkins) detail. They served as the primary point of contact for each of our vendors, which paved the way for us to spend less time fretting about administrative details and more time making decisions.

The best compliment I can give Katie and Adam is that, throughout the 18 months we worked with them to plan our wedding, we never once felt stressed. They were proactive to keep us on deadline and help us stay ahead of budgeting, which allowed us to enjoy every aspect of the wedding planning process – something we recognize not everyone can say about their wedding planning experience.

It may sound cheesy, but we consider Katie and Adam our friends now, and we can’t wait to continue bugging them to hang out with us whenever we’re in town.

Katie and Adam Review

We were married at the Hotel Californian on September 21st. Katie and Adam of KB Events were our wedding planners from the beginning in January. We had wanted a group that was local to Santa Barbara (our hometown and a wedding destination for many people, as well) so that they were in touch with the venues, outside providers for all services, and logistics. It could not have been a better choice.

After months of planning once we had selected the venue, our wedding day was perfect and seemingly flawless in terms of all of the parts and pieces that had to fit together. Everything was on a coordinated schedule for the vendors, in place and on time. The Hotel Californian was great to work with, setting up for the ceremony and the dinner afterwards. What a beautiful location!

Katie and Adam (and their staff on the day of the wedding) orchestrated a fabulous and enchanting day for us. Their involvement and attention to the smallest detail through the months of preparation and their oversight on the day made our wedding so easy for us, and we were able to just enjoy our most special moments without any cares or worries. Thanks to both of you and your staff for this fairy-tale wedding and a magical day!

Katie and Adam were so amazing to work with on our wedding! It’s so clear from talking and working with Katie that she knows her stuff. They are super organized and kind, but at the same time are persistent in all the best ways when they need to get things done. In the lead up to our wedding, they made us feel really comfortable and prepared in a world where it’s easy to feel behind. Everything went so smoothly on the wedding day. They were there to support us every step of the way, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to get married. We did lots of research before choosing KB Events, and we have no doubt that we made the best choice.
