Santa Barbara Venues
Because I envisioned a rustic like wedding, my first inclination was a ranch or farmhouse like venue. One of the spots I liked was Orella Ranch in Goleta (however it looks like they are booked through 2011)

El Capital Ranch in Goleta was nice
and so is the Figueroa Farm House

But because I was limiting my guest list, I wanted something smaller and more intimate (and affordable). I went to a local bridal show and came back with some other venue ideas:
Santa Barbara Musuem of Natural History
Attasalina Photography
Santa Barbara Historical Museum
Halberg Photographers
I began to peruse other websites for more local venue ideas:
Santa Barbara Weddings
Kelly Oshiro
Pure Joy Catering
SB Beach Front Facilities: Cabrillo Pavillion Arts Center, Chase Palm Park, Casas Las Palmas
In the end, I decided that I wanted to rent a private estate. The homes ranged in price (some depending on the size, others a flat rate) and some required over night stay. These were more in my budget:
Hope Ranch: Casas Das Palmas
SB: Cuatro Vientos Estate
One of the places I viewed was Las Tapias located near the SB Mission. They only hold six weddings a year in their garden, so it makes it more special. An upstairs apartment is included in the rental (2 nights).
Next week I will be visiting another private estate in Summerland.

Awesome, glad you saw Chris and Jen's pics from our site!
Let us know where you end up deciding to hold your wedding, and/or if you need suggestions on locations.
I'd definitely tell you to get in touch with Kelly Oshiro... she's got connections to some amazing locations that aren't well known.
Have you found a photographer yet? ;-)
