Jessica and Max’s Montecito Private Home Wedding with Some Special Food & Beverage Choices

Montecito-Wedding-3While Santa Barbara is filled with lovely resorts, parks, wineries, and private estates for hire, sometimes the best weddings are those in a private home.  Jessica and Max hosted friends and family from near and far in the comfort of their home, which offered a picturesque garden oasis for relaxation on a Santa Barbara summer day.

Special Touches were focused on specialty food and beverage choices (which we get extra excited about, as you can imagine),  including a delicious Maple Bourbon Whiskey Sour signature cocktail, and as guests entered for dinner, on the tables they were greeted with Fresh Radishes with Butter and Sea-Salt,  Roasted Cauliflower & Broccoli with Coarsely Chopped Italian Parsley, and for the butter served with the crusty french baguette, Jessica and Max chose to have lemon herb butter, instead of traditional butter.
