The Fireside Wine With a Wedding Planner series continues with perhaps the first-ever Santa Barbara Wedding Industry Summit: “The State of the Santa Barbara Wedding Industry: Define. Design. Evolve”.
This inspirational event invites all whose work involves the Santa Barbara wedding industry to come, relax, enjoy content researched and custom-prepared for the Santa Barbara wedding professional, collaboration and inspiration during a very complex time and transition in the wedding industry.
Set in front of a cozy fire in a relaxed elegant & historic setting, this program takes a look at key factors and newly – acquired data that have been influencing wedding business nationally, state-wide as well as the unique nature of Santa Barbara wedding business. It offers a unique collaboration opportunity with a Think Tank Panel of the area’s leading long-standing wedding business owners/industry leaders (see below for partial list) facilitating an inspirational section allowing attendees who have been in business any length of time to be an active part of and benefit from the evolution taking place right now, and not becoming a victim of it.

“You can’t evolve with change unless you understand what is motivating it. This awareness takes away the fear factor, fosters imagination, encourages what is possible, and rockets innovation and inspiration. And these qualities allow you to adapt and become stronger during evolution, not extinct.”
