Under the Pergola: A Santa Barbara Wedding Planners Mixer at Paloma
What a lovely afternoon!
Can we talk about those pulled pork arancini for a moment?
They were just one highlight of a colorful afternoon at Paloma, where some of Santa Barbara's wedding planners and creative partners gathered to connect, catch up, and spend time together in one of the city's most historic and beautiful spaces.
The ACME team at Paloma was so on point—the food, the service, the ambiance. And honestly? There was something special about being under that pergola on a cloudy afternoon. The light was softer. The energy was warmer. It made for the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and celebrate this incredible wedding community.
From longtime planners who have helped shape Santa Barbara weddings for years to the next generation of creatives continuing to raise the bar, it was a wonderful reminder that this community is what it is because of the people behind it.
About Paloma
Paloma is a Santa Barbara wedding destination that deserves a second look. Whether it’s for an elopement, rehearsal dinner, post-courthouse reception, or intimate celebration.
Steps from the Courthouse. Sun-drenched terraces. A team that knows how to take care of people.
Sam and the entire ACME Hospitality team were incredible hosts — and they would love to hear from you.

The vendors who made it beautiful:
BBJ La Tavola — Those linens. They added a layer of color and sophistication to the tablescape (you may have also noticed they matched my outfit).
Ella & Louie — Summer florals that made everyone stop mid-conversation. Exactly the point.
David Segall — Live guitar under a pergola on a cloudy July afternoon. If that's not Santa Barbara, I don't know what is.
Moments by Frank — Frank was everywhere, quietly capturing everything. His photography skills are all showcased below.
Heart Crafted Social — Capturing behind-the-scenes content from throughout the showcase.
With gratitude and maybe one more arancini,
