Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator - Carpinteria, California

Daniel Vasquez

We are so glad we found Toby to be our coordinator. Her experience, positive attitude, and precision really kept us at ease during what can become an extremely stressful period. Whenever we had questions or ideas, Toby was already on top of it and onto the next thing. She is a go-getter that will make it all happen! We cannot say enough nice things about how great the entire process was with her. This was even her first time at the venue we chose and you would have guessed she has coordinated a wedding there 100 times. She is also very well connected with a network of vendors. Hiring Toby was the best and easiest decision we made!

My husband and I hired Toby for our wedding in Santa Barbara that happened on October 8. I can't recommend Toby enough. She was incredibly responsive to my many questions throughout the process, and ensured our wedding day was seamless. Toby provides a sense of ease during a process that can feel stressful at times. Thank you Toby again for helping execute the best night of our lives!

Hired Toby as a month-of coordinator but she felt more like a wedding planner to me. Maybe it's because she has been doing this for over 20 years ? We are so glad we found her and she helped turn our wedding into the best night of our lives!

If Toby Theule can handle a 2020 wedding, she can handle anything.

Our original dream wedding was perfectly planned and coordinated for April 2020, about one month after the entire country shut down. At that time, there was a ton of panic in the event industry and not a ton of solid guidance from local authorities on what events were and were not allowed. Somehow, Toby new exactly what to do and was able to talk us down the ledge from having a massive panic attack about the whole thing. She helped us reschedule all of our vendors for October, made sure we didn’t lose a dime, and helped us plan an entirely new (covid-safe) intimate ceremony with our family. And when we found the new, perfectly intimate venue that doesn’t usually allow events, she was able to convince them to trust us to have our wedding there. Throughout it all, she made sure to ask all of the questions that we never even considered, helped us make decisions that kept us within budget, and was so understanding when we had no idea what we were doing. The big kicker is that she did it all with grace, humor, heart, and smiles.

We absolutely adore Toby and highly recommend working with her. It will be the best investment you could possibly make for your wedding.

We had the perfect wedding (2/26/22) and the most amazing day all thanks to Toby and her team. Toby was so easy to work with and made the planning process fun; she's extremely organized which my Type A personality truly appreciated. She ensured we were focused on the important moments and removed all stress from the day. I'm SURE there were hurdles that Toby handled without us knowing they existed. I highly recommend Santa Barbara Wedding Coordinator to anyone getting married in the area!

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Toby for our wedding and we cannot say enough positive things about how well of a job she did. She truly is so dedicated to the craft and to making your day perfect - she does not wait to start working with you until the month of like many coordinators do, but jumps right in upon contracting and makes sure you are on the right path in planning and are aware of the next steps that should be taken. I am so thankful for her experience and the guidance she provided me in the many decisions needing to be made.

She was so wonderful in ensuring that every detail was being taken care of and done so just as we would like. She even went above and beyond to save us a significant amount of money by negotiating fees with a vendor without us even asking.

She made me feel so genuinely cared for throughout the entire process and the day of our wedding went more smoothly than I could have ever imagined possible. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that 100% of that credit is owed to Toby. We are so thankful we were lucky enough to work with Toby and forever indebted to her for making our wedding day dreams become a reality!

Do yourself a huge favor and hire Toby as your coordinator. She went above and beyond for us and we will be grateful to her forever. Honestly, there is not enough space in this box for me to properly sing her praises.

I knew I liked Toby the moment we spoke because she's someone who just gets it. Not to mention, unlike most other planners I spoke to in this price point, she allows the line of communication to be open throughout the ENTIRE wedding process as opposed to 30 days out, etc. making her package the most bang for your buck out there. She is prompt, knowledgable and sweet as sugar. Every vendor she pointed us towards was lovely and talented. I was so worried about wedding planning being stressful, but she made it so easy.

On a more personal note as well, we were a couple set to marry in Spring 2020. When we had to postpone, not only did Toby swoop in and completely handle moving our date for us, she also pulled out all the stops to impromptu plan the most beautiful elopement I could have ever dreamed of. A lot of things didn't go our way, like so many other 2020 couples, but Toby saved our day and we are eternally grateful. No matter how sad we felt about our postponement, whenever we spoke to her she had a smile on her face and infectious enthusiasm that got us excited. It was a huge gift in a very trying time.

1000% recommend! We can't wait to work with her again in 2021! She's become so much more than our coordinator, she's our wedding guardian angel.

Toby is what all wedding coordinators should be! Ultra-organized, detail-oriented, flexible, super professional and well-connected in the industry. She always had a list of vendors and recommendations, making the planning process incredibly easy and fun! When it came to my wedding day, she made sure I took in every moment and enjoyed it all. She handled every task from setup to teardown and ensured all my vendors were cared for too. So grateful to have Toby in our corner throughout this experience!
