Bringing Shauna onboard was the best decision EVER! It’s not easy planning a last minute micro-wedding during the holidays. Knowing that we had Shauna to back us up every step of the way eased a ton of stress. The moment Shauna walked in our hotel room on the day of our wedding, we immediately knew things were going to get done. Our wedding turned out perfect and we couldn’t have done it without Shauna and her team! xx

Our wedding day was a dream come true and we owe it all to Shauna and Santa Barbara Elopement! My husband and I live in NYC which could make planning a wedding across the country extremely difficult, but thanks to Shauna's exceptional taste and skills, we had a nearly effortless planning experience and a phenomenal wedding day. Shauna went above and beyond to make our wedding the most unforgettable experience!

We aren’t sure how we would’ve gotten married without Shauna! Her and her team saw us through two postponements over an almost three year period because of the pandemic. Despite the ever-changing arrangements, they remained patient and understanding. Shauna is responsive, professional, experienced, dependable, organized, detailed and trusted/recommended by vendors and venues alike. We felt lucky to have her help plan our big day!

Early on in the wedding planning my husband and I decided to scale down and have a smaller wedding. We didn't really know where to start, but we were so glad that we found Shauna/Santa Barbara Elopement. I have a hard time seeing how all of the details in my head will ultimately come together, but Shauna brought everything together so perfectly. A big plus was that she was incredibly kind and understanding during the entire planning process. You can tell that she really cares about her clients.
I can't thank her enough for putting together the best day and I'd highly recommend her to anyone who

Shauna was so fantastic for our Nov 2021 wedding! We opted for "month and day of" coordination as we were able to book most of our vendors independently and needed someone to organize everyone. Shauna took all the pressure off of us in the weeks leading up to the wedding while she created our detailed timeline and communicated with our vendors. The day of our wedding went flawlessly and I was able to totally let go and enjoy it knowing that Shauna had everything running smoothly! Her professionalism and organization was impeccable, and we are so grateful to have had her orchestrating all of the

I can't say good enough things about Shauna and the Santa Barbara Elopement team. From the minute I contacted her, she was already making arrangements and making sure everything was booked and ready for our big day. On the day-of, she went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Everything was classy, elegant and super romantic. Best decision we've ever made!

Shauna is a gem! She took all the headache out of elopement planning for my now husband and I. The end product was more than we could have every imagined. She made great recommendations, found vendors that perfectly complimented our vision and needs, and went above and beyond to even wrangle our dogs on the big day. I was so worried that our wedding day would feel weird being just the two of us, but it was seamless. Highly recommend!

Our wedding was truly magical thanks to Shauna. From help with vendor selection and coordination, to flawless day of management and everything in between she is a master of her craft. Shauna's professionalism, knowledge and experience are second to none and we would not have had our dream wedding without her.

We were referred to Santa Barbara elopement by the Bacara resort in Santa Barbara. I worked with shauna from the beginning on our 10 year wedding anniversary vow renewal ceremony. Shauna did not skip a beat- she was responsive, helped with suggestions, very straight forward, friendly and extremely communicative! I would highly recommend shauna as her attention to detail and helpfulness during the actual event took a huge amount of stress off us the day of and leading up to. In person, shauna was wonderful and there every step of the way (literally) to help in any way she could. Always watching
