At Santa Barbara Wine Country Weddings and Events, we create trends. The mobile bridal faire is an answer for today’s busy engaged couple. With so many venue and vendor options and so little time for the details requisite to planning this momentous occasion, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start, let alone having the time to actually plan it all! We’ve taken the traditional bridal faire to new heights with luxury and some fun. No more perusing through countless photo albums, trying to imagine set up and décor. No more wondering if who you are meeting with is reputable – all Santa Barbara Wine Country Weddings & Events mobile bridal faires feature the region’s finest venues and vendors with whom we have worked and are there by exclusive invitation only.
Combining the demands of modern wedding planning with the art of relaxation, fun and romance, the mobile bridal faire is the ultimate in wedding planning. Engaged couples are transported via deluxe motorcoach from world-renowned Santa Barbara over to its own wine country, the Santa Ynez Valley. There, they are chauffeured from venue to venue visiting several of the Valley’s leading event locations – including one or two which are “hidden secrets” yet to be discovered. Each venue will be decked out as it could be for an actual wedding and reception and couples can sample food, wine*, photography, videography, enjoy music, entertainment, admire spectacular floral arrangements, décor, rentals, be able to purchase wedding insurance, apply for a wedding loan, and speak to other wedding professionals such as officiants, wedding website design companies, adventure wine touring companies, and beauty experts for hair, makeup and spa services as well as the onsite location manager of each venue.
Each stop is 45 minutes in length and because the tour has a limited number of seats available, couples have the opportunity to spend more one-on-one time with vendors and receive more attention than traditional bridal faires. The tour takes a rest in the middle of the day with a gourmet luncheon and fashion presentation. Each attendee receives a special gift bag and everyone receives a complimentary engagement portrait at one of the locations to commemorate this special and fun day.

Mobile Wedding Planning: A Novel Concept
A third-generation Santa Barbaran, CEO and Founder of Santa Barbara Wine Country Weddings & Events wanted to create an efficient and magical experience for brides seeking to host their wedding in this destination hotspot. An entrepreneur, Ms. Dickey has always taken needs in the industry and created an outside-the-box approach to supplying a niche for these needs. The Mobile Bridal Faire/Mobile Wedding Planning Experience© was no exception. Each year the Experience will evolve into new locations, new vendors. Brides are able to be transported to each location and walk right into a place set up as it would be for a wedding, meet with vendors onsite and be pampered all day. Many actually so fall in love with the location and event supply partners on display, they book and have almost their entire wedding planned in one day. Check out our last Mobile Bridal Faire/Mobile Wedding Planning Experience called “A Taste of a Wine Country Wedding”, Created and Produced by Santa Barbara Wine Country Weddings & Events and Co-Sponsored by Santa Barbara Wedding Guide:
