FIESTA Vibes + Fabulous Vendors: Our Sold-Out Networking Mixer at Wine Cask’s Gold Room
¡Que linda noche!
On a warm, colorful Santa Barbara evening, over 80 of the most inspiring wedding pros gathered for a Fiesta Kickoff Mixer hosted by Santa Barbara Wedding Style x Intermezzo by Wine Cask — and it was pure magic.
From heartfelt hugs to fresh introductions, we came together to celebrate our vibrant community, share ideas, sip margaritas, and showcase the talent that makes Santa Barbara weddings so unforgettable.
The Venue: The Gold Room at Wine Cask — A Hidden Gem for Events
Let’s start with the setting — The Gold Room at Wine Cask is a venue that blends historic charm with elegant ambiance. Originally the signature dining room of the iconic restaurant, this space is rich in character, featuring a cozy fireplace, warm lighting, and vintage Santa Barbara soul.
The Gold Room Highlights:
Accommodates 60–120 guests (seated, standing, or mixed)
Ideal for weddings, cocktail receptions, milestone dinners, and private events
Book as-is or combine with the enchanting courtyard just outside for a full indoor/outdoor experience
Available for three-course meals, live music, DJ dancing, and more
Pro tip: This room was made for mingling. If you’re planning an event and want an intimate-yet-elevated space downtown, reach out to Jenny at events@winecask.com or give them a call at (805) 966-9463.
The Food & Drinks: FANTASTIC Flavors with Five-Star Service
Still dreaming of the tuna cones, goat cheese bites, tomato soup & grilled cheese, and — let’s be honest — the best pizza in town. (I’m Italian. I know pizza. I said what I said.)
And don’t get me started on the skinny margarita — con amor por favor — from the Intermezzo bar. Thank you to Jenny and the Wine Cask team for absolutely crushing it in both flavor and hospitality.
The Talent: SB’s Wedding Pros Who Brought the Fiesta
We love a good vendor lineup — and this one? From florals to fans and interactive fun, here’s a look at the creatives who made our night so stylish and special:
Grace Kathryn Photography
Grace was everywhere, capturing the heart and energy of the evening — especially of the smiles, sips, and spontaneous hugs.
Tangled Lotus
Bo, your daisies and gerberas stole the show. The vibrant blooms and colored candles were everything — chill, pretty, and perfectly on-theme.
Honest Abe Cider & SoCal Vibes Co
Jaclyn, it was a treat to sample your gluten-free ciders — crisp, refreshing, and perfect for Santa Barbara weddings.
Howard Events
A claw machine at a networking mixer? GENIUS. You brought the fun and turned the room into a game night. This is perfect for welcome receptions, afterparties, and even the wedding day if you’re up for it. Personalized on the outside and with the merch you want, this was a huge hit!
Parasols in Paradise
Julie, your Fiesta fans, African fans, and custom parasols were the most photogenic (and practical) props of the night.
Ventura Rental
Your Spanish-style table setups were pure elegance. From textures to tabletop details — chef’s besos.
Nosotros Tequila
Tequila + dark chocolate... mezcal + grapefruit... flavor explosions in every sip. You delivered taste and sophistication.
Let's Keep the Party Going
To everyone who attended: Gracias from the bottom of mi corazón. It meant the world to hug old friends and meet new faces. Santa Barbara Wedding Style is all about connection, community, and celebration — and this night was all of that and more.
Stay tuned — our next mixer is already in the works, and we can’t wait to see you there.
