My husband and I were thrilled with our wedding venue at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. The staff communicated clearly and concisely throughout the planning process, which helped make organizing a breeze. The space itself is naturally gorgeous, with beautiful architecture, and charming historic details. It was incredibly spacious, allowing us to easily accommodate all of our guests.
