Mar is the most fun to work with. My hair and makeup were beautiful and i got many many compliments on it!!

All of my guest raved about the Crossroads Estate and wondered how we found the place. The location is serene and peaceful and there was even a deer at our wedding!

Awful experience. The worst of all my bridal gown appointments. I got a very cold feeling the first time i went but i liked one dress very mcuh so i went back with 2 of my bridesmaids. While i was there looking at gowns on the rack one of the sales women bumped into me very hard and didnt say anything. I thought maybe she didnt realize. When she did it a second time hard enough for my purse to fall off i was shocked!!! I am looking at a 10,000 dress here so i expect some decent service. While in the dressing room the very same sales person barged in asking the person helping me if we had a certain dress in the room. Without asking me or even acknowledging that i was there....the rude sales associate took the dress from my room and NEVER brought it back. WTF?!?! she didnt even ask if that was one that i really wanted to try and more importantly never brought it back. The help there feel like stepford robots. I found out afterwards that it was the manager that was helping me. I find that kind of service unacceptable and refused to give them a dime. I have heard from a couple other people that they have had the same experience. Blech...spend your hard earned money elsewhere

DO NOT HIRE THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING!!! I personally went into their location on 3 different occasions to confirm that they would be able to make cupcakes on my wedding date and deliver them to my wedding location. I was told each time that it was no problem and that i should just call a couple days ahead of time to give them my flavor choices. When i called 3 days before my wedding i was told that they could not accommodate me. WHAT?!?!?! After i confirmed 3 times?!!?! They had my credit card number and everything!!!! THEY HAD TAKEN MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER!!! They proceeded to put me on the phone with the owner who was less than sympathetic. Let me give you a few of her quotes...when i said.."i come from la and stop at your cupcake place every single time we are in town and thats why we booked you"....her response: "thats because we have the best cupcakes"........when i asked about the fact that i had been confirmed 3 times...her response was: "i cannot control everything my employees say"....she also told me that "even if you placed this order 6 months ago i would not do it" WHAT?!?! Of course i told her that she was a terrible business person. Bottom line...she made it clear that she did not care AT ALL that because of the 3 confirmations that i got from HER and her employees, i made no alternative arrangements for dessert at my wedding. She didnt offer to work it out with my caterer...she didnt offer anything...just "sorry theres nothing i can do". Brides do not trust this vendor. Heartless. Thats the only word i have for this business owner.

"A piece of cake" in Goleta saved the day with cupcakes better tasting and better decorated and worked with my caterer to get them delivered.

HOLY MOLY! Dawn is very sweet. If you go here please have her serve your guests the mousse! We did mousse in martini glasses and it was hands down the best mousse i have ever had. All the guests were raving about it! I highly recommend Dawns mousse!

We had 2 goals with regard to our wedding...we wanted our guests entertained and we wanted them to have amazing food. Thanks to Santa Barbara BBQ and Gourmet Catering we had guests thanking us for the amazing food. EVERYTHING was unbelievable. Their food is cooked ON SITE not brought in hot boxes like Pure Joy. Ick. Guests raved and raved...all i kept hearing was "the food!...the food!" and "those potatoes!" and "the asparagus!" Even my vegan guest was raving about how they made her a special dish that was amazing. They went out of their way to find the vegetarians and make sure they got enough of the vegetarian appetizers. And Sidney the owner completely fixed a botched dessert order from crushcakes. DONT GO THERE! SIdney is the best and they really need to open a restaraunt cause there food is THAT good!!!

If i could give zero stars i would. She came highly recommended fro our planner and photographer and we drove 2 hrs to meet with her. We met with her and loved her and discussed our entire wedding..... after our meeting she never got back to us with a proposal. I emailed her after a month and got no response. Waited another month and emailed again.... STILL NO RESPONSE. I have heard from at least 6 OTEHR PEOPLE that this has happened to people they knew as well. This is horrible and i dont care how good ones work is...this lack of respect for prospective clients is arrogant and should not be rewarded. Dont waste your time!

Trevor from Bella Vista goes above and beyond what you ask him to do. I was literally SHOCKED when i saw his draping and lighting for my wedding! He did more than i even asked for no extra charge. So many of my guests commented on the beautiful impact from his draping. Thank you Trevor!! And...he is super easy to work with!!!

This is me......speechless. I <3 Joel Serrato! If you are lucky enough to have him available on your date.....BOOK HIM! I mean now! This is the stuff you will be looking at 10 ...20 years from now. He is so artistic and passionate about his work and it shows. My wedding planner told me her biggest regret was not hiring a videographer. Joel's videos of OTHER peoples weddings make me cry. I am talking about people i dont even know. I absolutely recommend Joel for your wedding. I promise you will never regret making a place in your budget for him. On top of all that he is super sweet and easy to work with!!

After visiting all the primo designers in la including saks, monique lhuillier, les habitudes, carolina herrera, the dresses and staff at badgley mischka stood out! They were very reasonable about adding custom beading. The alterations were beautiful and after the wedding of dragging my dress through dirt and grass....surprisingly the dress still looked brand new. The craftsmanship of these gowns is unsurpassed. They are very flattering to a womans natural shape and they have many different styles. ALl of there dresses feel red carpet worthy adn the beading is unmatched my an designer i have seen. Ok maybe Oscar de la Renta could stand up with them .Most impressive was the fact that they do just one appointment at a time so i had alllllll of the dresses to myself. A nice surprise after my horrific monque lhuiliier experience!
