For those couples who want to take a weekend to visit Santa Barbara and meet a ton of GREAT wedding professionals, see a few fun locations, enjoy a couple of parties, free eats and some free drinks, this event is for you!!!!

Halberg Photographers have been helping put this all together and we’re really excited for couples to be able to get in on a modern wedding “fair” event (no wedding fair here, but a true wedding planning getaway filled with a ton of great stuff!)

Also, we would love to share some of our favorite Santa Barbara Wedding Venues with you through our site.

I want to extend the Valentines day special to everyone following my blog:
