Couple wearing sunglasses on steps of Simpson House Inn

When it comes to garden party romance, this wedding at the historic Simpson House Inn in Santa Barbara checked every box. Brought to life by Ann Johnson Events, the day was filled with colorful details, lively entertainment, and a joyful atmosphere that guests won’t soon forget.

The bride stunned in a gown adorned with delicate floral appliqués, perfectly in sync with the wedding’s bright and floral garden party theme. Shades of pink and orange blooms filled the day with warmth, creating a palette that celebrated love, joy, and summer’s beauty. Dreamcatcher Artistry worked their magic to create hair and makeup looks that were fresh, glowing, and timeless—an ideal match for the radiant, flower-filled aesthetic.

The ceremony was tucked gracefully into the inn’s lush lawn and towering trees, letting the venue’s natural landscape set the scene. After vows were exchanged, the couple roamed the charming property for portraits, captured beautifully by Sister B Studios, who also preserved every heartfelt and high-energy moment on video. For the reception, Ventura Rentals elevated the garden-party vibe with patterned plates, tinted goblet glasses, and chic table details that made the evening feel both personal and playful. Catering Connection provided a feast that delighted every guest, pairing delicious flavors with the beauty of the tablescapes.

As night fell, the energy soared. Gavin Roy Presents set the tone with both dynamic lighting and an incredible DJ set that kept the dance floor crowded from start to finish. Guests were also treated to live music by the incomparable Tony Ybarra, whose artistry added a unique and unforgettable touch to the celebration.
