    Wonderful Wedding at Rincon Beach Club

    My husband and I got married at Rincon last weekend. Courtney was our coordinator, and she was phenomenal! We truly had the best day ever. I was not stressed or worried about anything leading up to the day, or even day of. Courtney was there for us every step along the way, we had complete trust in her. Aside from the many compliments on the delicious food and gorgeous venue, many of our guests also commented on how this was the most organized and well-ran wedding they’d ever been to. Thank you Courtney and team!

    Amazing team, venue, everything!

    Booking our wedding at Rincon Beach Club was the BEST decision we ever made!! Our wedding day was better than we imagined. It truly felt magical! We were able to enjoy our special day and feel present with our guests (which is unheard of according to our friends and family), and that's because the staff at RBC are exceptional!

    We had the pleasure of working with Courtney, who made the whole process super easy for us. She's professional, very knowledgeable and always answered our many questions with a smile. She coordinated with all our vendors and made sure our vision come to life! We can't thank you enough Courtney!!

    RBC has the BEST food! We, and our guests, are still talking about the food from our wedding (almost a month later!). RBC has amazing food, amazing staff, just an amazing venue overall!! We LOVE RBC and highly recommend it to all future brides and grooms. 10/10

    A Magical Wedding Experience

    Throughout the night & days after we had so many guests mention how beautiful our venue was. The Rincon Beach Club is a wonderful place that encompasses what's so special about Carpinteria, the small-town beauty alongside a quintessential Californian beach.

    Courtney, our coordinator, was a great partner & a fantastic communicator who made our lives so much easier. The venue speaks for itself as a lovely tucked-away gem & the food is spectacular.

    Beautiful Wedding!

    We knew as soon as we got engaged that we wanted to get married at Rincon. It is such a beautiful venue, the food is amazing and the staff is great! We worked with Carol and she was amazing. She made the whole planning process so easy and stress free which is what you want when you are making one of the biggest decisions of your life! Thank you, Carol, and the Rincon Staff for everything!

    We love Kinsey & RBC!

    Our experience planning with Kinsey at Rincon Beach Club was truly the best! She was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about everything regarding our wedding from start to finish! She was a key part in bringing our dream day to life and she did just that. We didn’t have to worry about anything day-of because she had it all covered and we felt confident knowing we had the incredible Rincon team behind us every step of the way. Not only was Kinsey amazing but everyone that helped us along the way was 10/10! Our food was incredible, the staff were so friendly and our signature drinks did not disappoint. I highly recommend Rincon Beach Club to anyone looking for a wonderful venue and great team to plan your day!

    Amazing service, food and venue!

    We were so happy with our wedding at the Rincon Beach Club! Kinsey was endlessly patient and flexible throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions and offering just the right amount of guidance. Her attention to detail and exceptional people skills really stood out at the event. We can’t thank the Rincon Beach Club staff enough for making our wedding so special. The food was amazing and our guests had a great time!

    Our Dream Come True

    My husband and I got married two weeks ago and were lucky enough to host our reception at Rincon Beach Club!

    Carol and her team at RBC are truly amazing. The early stages of touring and booking, planning the finer details, and the execution of the event were made so easy thanks to Carol. It was easy to contact her with any ideas, changes, or questions throughout the year and a half we were planning our wedding. RBC invited us to do a menu tasting and then again to plan our menu and create the reception timeline together. Carol incorporated all of our ideas into the evening and helped us schedule the night with our guests in mind. She has planned so many weddings and is an expert, so it was very reassuring to have her input on everything. In the weeks leading up to the event, Carol very easily accommodated last minute changes to the guest and meal count and answered all of our nervous questions.

    When it came to the evening itself, Carol and the team at RBC worked tirelessly to make our reception an amazing night. We happened to be married in the middle of an unexpected heatwave And under the threat of rain. It ended up raining right before our scheduled start time and by looking at the photos, you never would have guessed it rained at all. When we arrived to our reception, all our guests (about 170 people) were eating, drinking, and having the best time. The team setting up the dinner area covered all the tables with plastic and were in the process of removing the plastic, changing seat covers, and fixing the lighting in order to seat the guests. Everything looked beautiful, even more beautiful than I had imagined it.

    My husband and I were escorted to a separate room to change our shoes and bustle my dress. Carol brought us our signature drinks and some hor d’oeuvres to enjoy and unwind before we went to greet our guests. Carol even helped my mom bustle my dress which was so sweet.

    The employees at RBC were so attentive to us and all of our guests. I don’t think anyone’s glass was empty once throughout the night. Even the kids were accommodated, as the staff passing the hor d’oeuvres helped them find the big hit of the night- Mac N Cheese. When it was time for dinner service, I was truly amazed (again!) by the service. All guests received their salad and entree quickly and the food was Hot. Every single dish and drink served throughout the night was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Many of our guests told us that this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about the beautiful venue, tasty food, and fantastic service from the waiters and bar staff.

    I truly cannot thank Carol and her team enough for making our day so special!

    Wedding of my dreams!

    We got married at the Rincon Beach Club on 8/27/2022 and it absolutely surpassed our expectations! Carol and her team were such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience. She thought about and took care of every single detail. I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing with Carol as our planner. We did a beach ceremony and reception in the garden and it was all beyond perfect. The weather was great, we got a beautiful sunset, and the vibe we were going for was flawlessly executed. We had about 125 guests and so many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food was INCREDIBLE, and we partied until 1am. Love that there is no curfew at this venue! Thank you so much Carol and RBC team for making our dream wedding come true!! We will never get over this day :)

    The best venue in Southern California

    From start to finish Rincon Beach club was amazing, Carol our day of coordinator/planner of the entire wedding made the whole thing go off without a hitch (Or if it didn't, we weren't aware of it). The food is amazing and I can't wait to find an excuse to get back down there to have more tri-tip! They are professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We had a 100-person wedding and it was an absolutely stunning setup executed to perfection thanks to carol and our lovely vendors. The team is so experienced and knows exactly what they are doing, if you are hesitant about doing the beach ceremony don't be they make it so easy! The best part was that we were able to actually enjoy our wedding and carol had the schedule down, she just told us when and where to be allowing us to enjoy and chat with our guests. Thank you Rincon for creating the most magical day for us, if only I could do this every year!!!!

    From start to finish Rincon Catering was great. The food was wonderful, help professional, friendly and easy to work with. This was a big wedding of 150 people. Mark, the manager of the event made sure everything went smoothly. Everything went without a hitch. (Or if it didn't, we weren't aware of it). He oversaw the whole wedding, not only the food and drink set up, but also the rehearsal and procession of the bridal party. You can tell he is very experienced. He made suggestions on how much time to spend with people as you walk around to visit. This might sound like a simple thing, but when you think of visiting all the guests at 20 tables, this is no small task. We felt very taken care of and because of this we were able to relax and really enjoy the event.
    We are still getting comments on how wonderful the food was. Thank you Rincon Catering for all you did to make this day great.

    We loved our wedding!

    If you want a no fuss venue this is the one for you! The only things I had to research and hire was photographer, florist, and DJ. They had a list of vendors they have worked with before as well,
    Which was so helpful! Having a built in planner was amazing! I was never stressed out and really felt I was taken care of throughout the entire planning process. The food was amazing! We loved our ice cream cookie sandwiches with McConnell’s ice cream- many guests still mention them and it’s been over a year since our wedding! The Beach ceremony was so lovely and felt so private- I don’t remember seeing anyone there besides my guests but if there were people I’m told the planner bribes them with cookies to scootch over a bit. I highly recommend this venue!

    Smooth and beautiful wedding!

    We did a beach ceremony and reception on the patio in August 2019. We had an excellent experience and highly recommend Rincon Beach Club.

    We worked primarily with Carol, who was a pleasure to work with. Very organized and trustworthy. She and her husband Marc and their team have been doing this for a long time and they have it down. They clearly care and know how to throw a good party that runs smoothly. I was doing all the planning from the East Coast, and I felt really good that they were running the show.

    What's included:
    - Coordination and advice along the way from people who have been in the business of doing weddings for a long time, and full "day of" timeline running (no need to hire a separate planner or coordinator).
    - Excellent food and desserts and a super fun tasting for you to try out all their amazing food and pick your menu.
    - You're not getting a bare hall that you have to decorate and make feel like a wedding -- they have lots of things around so that you don't have to buy tons of decorations. And the patio has lots of plantings. The space has a lovely indoor/outdoor vibe and was truly magical with all the lighting and decorations. We provided minimal decorations -- mostly we used what the venue provided. I loved that I didn't have to stress too much over decor or spend a ton of money on wedding-y decor that I would never use again or time DIY-ing wedding decor. The space was gorgeous, but just note there is no view of the ocean from the reception space. I used Trader Joe's white orchids and eucalyptus sprigs as my centerpieces. I did hire a florist to do a floral decoration for the ceremony arch and bouquets. The staff took down the floral decoration on the arch after the ceremony and used part of it to decorate the head table, which was lovely.
    - Nice tables, chairs, heaters, plenty of lounge furniture, and linens -- no dealing with a rental company for anything. And their "basics" are lovely -- I found no need to do upgrades.
    - We did a beach ceremony and a choice of wooden arch was included as well as the set up/break down and several attendants to make sure everyone got settled. They also had nice signage and water and parasols for guests. The beach club is a 7-8 minute walk from the ceremony site on the Santa Claus lane public beach (we timed the walk at a moderate pace).
    - Other nice extras: they provide snacks before the ceremony for the wedding party so that you don't pass out, send the couple off with some leftovers to have later that night/next day, and they send a little cake on your first anniversary.

    After looking at tons of venues in Santa Barbara and beyond (we toured 11 venues in Santa Barbara and 10 in other places), we were torn between the beach club and the Santa Barbara Zoo for our wedding -- same company (Events by Rincon) behind both, same delicious food. We went with the beach club because a little more was included and we liked the idea of getting married on the sand. But the zoo was beautiful and has the benefit of lush foliage and you can interact with animals during cocktail hour.

    Very glad we went with Carol and Marc and Rincon Beach Club - thank you for a smooth and beautiful wedding!

    Amazing experience!

    What an amazing experience with Rincon Beach Club. Carol, our wedding planner/coordinator, was an absolute Godsend. Everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding and leading up, our day was stress free and enabled us to fully enjoy the beauty and fun of our wedding on the beach and reception at the RBC. I cannot express enough how amazing this venue is, with every detail thought of. Truly a one stop shop and made everything so easy. A million thanks would not be enough. It was the best day ever!

    One stop shop for your dream wedding!

    If you are looking for a venue that has it ALL, look no further than Rincon Beach Club! We got married on July 13, 2019 in the garden and our day was everything we had imagined, and more. Rincon executed every detail of our event to a T. No detail was overlooked, and the quality was top notch in all areas. Here are some of the things that you have to look forward to when booking with Rincon:
    1. A planner who comes with the venue and coordinates all vendors, catering, furniture, decor, and day-of logistics *Note: the only vendors you will need to source on your own are florist, band/DJ, hair/makeup, photo/video, and officiant (but Rincon has a preferred vendor list to help with this).
    2. AMAZING food and drink - we did several food stations instead of a traditional buffet or plated dinner because we wanted to "mix it up" for our guests. Our guests are still raving about the slider station, taco station, meat carving station, and dessert spread of bananas foster, churros, skillet donuts, and McConnell's ice cream...not to mention the heavy passed appetizers during cocktail hour. No one left hungry :)
    3. Premium cross back vineyard chairs, linens, high-tops, bar set-up, etc. *included* in the price.
    4. Convenient location to reasonably priced hotels like the Holiday Inn Express and Best Western in Carpinteria.
    5. Option to do a beach ceremony and come back to the venue after for the reception (while we did not choose this option, we definitely took advantage of the close location to the beach for gorgeous sunset photos!)
    6. Transparent, reasonable pricing and "no surprise" costs - Carol sent us several revised estimates every time we made updates which included tax, gratuity, server fees, etc. We made a few installment payments leading up to the day which left no remaining balance or surprise bill at or after the wedding.

    Rincon Beach Club was 100% the best choice for our wedding. If you are looking for a stress-free, no drama, top notch venue that will WOW your guests, be sure to check it out!!

    The best choice we've ever made!

    Carol and her team were nothing short of spectacular from start to finish. From the moment we met Carol, it felt like she was a family member looking to help us in any way possible. Communication was seamless, and each interaction left us feeling more comfortable and excited about Rincon as a partner/venue.

    We held our wedding ceremony at a different venue and Carol went out of her way to help coordinate the entire day. She managed all other vendor relationships and made sure that everything went according to plan and schedule.

    Rincon food was AMAZING and all of our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Everything is customizable in their menu which made it feel very authentic to us. The tasting event that occurred a few months prior to our wedding was incredible as well.

    The venue itself was beautiful and ALSO very customizable. We enjoyed the indoor/outdoor spaces and the flow of the overall layout.

    We give Carol and Rincon our highest recommendation and could not have been more happy with how everything turned out. Thank you for everything Carol!

    Amazing venue!

    I cannot say enough how happy I am that we had our September wedding at Rincon! We chose to have our ceremony on the beach and the reception at Rincon's garden. We honestly fell in love with this venue right away and having Carol, the owner and planner, made wedding planning such an easy process for us. I was surprised at how relaxed I was as a bride because Carol provided so much direction reminded us on what needs to be done, so I didn't have to worry. Rincon also works with a lot of other vendors for photography, florals, etc. so the planning with other vendors was easy as well! All the food options provided by Rincon are amazing, however we chose to do different "stations" where we had a variety of pizza, tacos, and bao buns, which gave a lot of options for our guests. Our guests are still telling us that our venue was so beautiful and that the food was the best. Incredibly happy we chose Rincon!!

    Carol and the entire team at Rincon Beach Club are beyond amazing! We couldn't recommend them more! She is experienced, professional, attentive, genuinely cares about what you want/looking for, dedicates all her efforts to ensure your vision comes full circle, and worked with us to design our food/dessert menu, cake, decor, and every detail to our liking. We have received so many compliments from all of our guests (245), raving about the food, dessert, decor, and beauty of the venue itself. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Our reception was beyond anything we could have ever imagined and we truly owe it to her and the Rincon team! If you're looking for a venue that is absolutely stunning (all on it's own), serves amazing food (with tons of options), and also helps with the entire planning process, this is your place!

    From the Mother of the Bride's perspective, Carol walks that delicate line between giving the Bride and Groom exactly what they want whilst taking the MOB’s wishes into consideration. She is extremely diplomatic, unflustered and full of great, creative ideas. She and her team put together a perfect afternoon beach wedding and evening reception that was even better than I had imagined. The venue is so pretty. Last minute changes and glitches (the band’s stage was way bigger than expected so the entire dance area had to be reconfigured) were handled effortlessly.

    From the Bride and Groom’s perspective, we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have our wedding at the Rincon Beach Club. Neither of us were super confident about the wedding planning process, so we were looking for a “one stop shop” venue that would make everything easy for us and provide linens, candles, chairs, sound system, the whole shebang. In addition to making everything easy for us, we loved the relaxed yet chic vibe of the club, and we were thrilled to be able to tie the knot on the sand!

    Carol was absolutely incredible (so incredible that we definitely did not feel the need to hire a separate wedding planner!). She was so patient with us and our families, and guided us through each step of the process. Having been in the wedding business for several decades, Carol has the ability to anticipate problems and solve them before you even become aware of them. The week before our wedding, we found out our band couldn't provide power for our beach ceremony…Carol had kept a DJ on hold for us just in case (unbeknownst to us), and we averted a major disaster thanks to her foresight! Carol and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with, and Carol’s calming presence and confidence in every step of the process was invaluable.

    Covid beautiful backyard elopement planned in less than 3 weeks!!

    We used Rincon for our family backyard wedding during the pandemic. Two other venues and plans had fallen through and Rincon made it easy to quickly transition to a local backyard elopement in less than three weeks- and within our budget! They helped us with our vision to rent a farm table, ceremony chairs for 12, and had every menu item we wanted for our taco bar - even a fresh out of our oven chocolate chip cookie skillet for dessert as requested by the bride & groom! Rentals were delivered well ahead of the event and they made two food drop offs for appetizers and then dinner right before the event! All delivery staff were masked, friendly, and SO helpful. Working with them made wedding planning on a short timeline a breeze!

    Wow, I cannot say enough about Marc and the team at Rincon Catering. We had our wedding offsite, not at the Beach Club itself, and they completely transformed the space! Marc was incredibly insightful and prepared, and was happy to take a few walkthroughs of the site with different vendors to make sure the DJ, photographer, and relevant family members were all filled in and on the same page. In the months leading up to the event we knew we were in good hands, and had very little stress about preparations.

    On the day itself, Marc and his team had done a beautiful job preparing a landing space with hors d'oeuvres, a bar and gift table. The staff were friendly and attentive and gave my bride and I tons of ease and time to interact with the guests. I wandered down to the dinner area to check it out before dinner time, and realized my bride and I had missed something on the invoice and plans earlier, and had assigned our guests to tables using 1 extra table than we had initially agreed upon with Marc. I quickly informed him of the shortage and apologized for our miscommunication. Marc nodded, assured me he would take care of it and told me to go back and enjoy the party. An hour later, when we wandered down for dinner, the table was set and looked as beautiful as the others. The food was delicious, Marc and the team easily accommodated our vegetarian needs and also made some meat dishes for our guests.

    We honestly could not be more happy with Rincon Catering, and especially Marc. If you're in the Santa Barbara area and looking for a very professional, thoughtful and helpful team, I highly recommend the crew at Rincon Catering. The Beach Club looks amazing, but they also do a wonderful job for offsite weddings.

    The epitome of ‘Professional’! From the start we were amazed with the professionalism, kindness, and humble demeanor of Rincon Catering. We used Rincon for our Wedding/Reception, and couldn’t have been more pleased! From food to furniture, or lighting to clean-up, we used Rincon for all and it was perfection!

    Marc was incredible, and after meeting with him, we were sold. He was gracious with his time, flexibility, and not only was quick to align to our vision but also was sensitive to the needs of our venue and family. Being married on a family member’s estate in Santa Barbara (though we live in San Francisco), we wanted to ensure that we were respectful of the the property. From start to finish Rincon was sensitive to the plant life, the structures, and to the property owners themselves. In fact, they loved Rincon so much they are now booking him for their New Year’s party too!

    In the end, we were impressed with the adaptability that Marc offered, his gentle candor, and his humility. Coordinating with Rincon remotely couldn’t have gone any smoother, and his demeanor clearly sets the tone for Rincon. We never had any doubts in the trust we had placed in his hands, and Rincon never let us down - they exceeded our expectations in every facet!

    If you want the best service and the most amazing place, Rincon is the way to go! Rincon is a hidden gem that all your guests will love. Both Carol and Eloise are marvelous to work with every step of the way. They both went above and beyond and were always willing to meet with us and answer any questions we had throughout the planning process. Their attention to detail and willingness to make our wedding unique for us was more than we could have asked for. We continue to look back and say that our wedding was perfect! We could not have been happier to have chosen such a phenomenal venue. They made our dream wedding a reality.

    All I have to say is all hats off and praises sung to all things Carol and her team! What an INCREDIBLE day! From the planning process to the moment I walked down the beach aisle to the time the last song played, Carol made sure everything ran smoothly and seamlessly! I truly got to be immersed in the love and positivity of my day without being preoccupied with any coordination issues. Not only was she calm, positive and professional but she helped execute my vision PERFECTLY and my breathe was taken away in awe at the perfection of the presentation of the venue. The food was delicious, most guests went for seconds and the strategic layout of the venue's space and flow were absolutely conducive to comfort and elegance. I don't have enough vocabulary words to express my gratitude to her and her team for helping make the day so relaxed and magical!

    Carol,
    We cannot thank you enough for the role you and your staff played in making Bre and Barry's Day so very special!!! Everything was perfect and we would have not changed a thing.

    Your professionalism, expertise, and kindness did not go unnoticed. We loved all of your attention to detail. It was amazing how you placed each decoration with care and purpose. The display on the fireplace and all the displays were so beautiful. Everything ran like a well oiled machine.

    The guest raved about the delicious Mexican Food. They were so happy not to have another typical plated Chicken dinner at a Wedding. There were lots of compliments on the Guacamole.

    All of the vendors that you recommended were outstanding. The flowers were perfect, the DJ kept the party going and most of all the Cellist and Pianist were amazing. Several guests said they knew they had seen them somewhere before. I asked Sal and he told me the pianist used to work for Barry Manilow and the Cellist has performed on TV and other large media events. Wow, and to think they were playing at our little Wedding.

    One of our guest is a Wedding Coordinator herself, and she was amazed at how smoothly and timely everything ran.

    We cannot wait to have another event at your facility.

    With our Sincerest Gratitude,
    The Johnson Family
