White Sage Wedding & Events
Christina Banman fell into the event industry in 2015 when she decided to take a chance and leave the world of real estate. Her journey began with an internship with an international event producer, Erika Lohmar, thanks to her alma mater of Cal Lutheran University.

She then transitioned into a position as a full time planner with Along Came Mary Events whom she continues to freelance produce large corporate events for clients such as Hallmark, Fox and Hulu.This has provided her a wide scope of experience in the industry. With her passion for food and entertaining, weddings and events was the perfect fit for her.

We could not have imagined having a more perfect day than our wedding day, and that is a huge thanks to Brooke and the rest of the White Sage team! Having had to navigate the ups and downs through Covid, our experience throughout the entire process was effortless, communicative and thorough. Never once did we feel that we didn't know what was happening or when something needed to happen in the planning process. If I could recommend one suggestion for anyone planning a wedding, it's to hire a skilled wedding planner like Brooke! It was the best money we spent, and we loved working with her and will

Brooke and her team go above and beyond! They made planning our wedding fun and enjoyable. My wedding day was so seamless because they were there to set everything up and organize the day. She focuses on the tiny details and will make sure everything is perfect the day of. I tell everyone that the first thing you should do after getting engaged is reach out to her team. They help to guide you every step of the way through planning and designing as well as source everything to make sure you get the most out of your money. She made all of my visions come to life. Highly recommend working with the

This is an impressive date place. It's also good for those of us who are too chicken to do the real thing...! My suggestion is to buy a double flight your first time going - you'll flip and flop for 55 seconds your first time and then once you "get it", your time is up. The second go is much better because you know what to expect.

Brooke from White Sage did a wonderful job at our wedding. She was very thorough with every detail, bugged us to make sure we're making good progress, and followed through every last thing. Hiring a wedding planner is now my #1 advice I give to engaged friends and would definitely recommend Brooke in a heartbeat.

As I sit down to write this review, I'd like to point out that we had a beautiful wedding and Brooke introduced us to some killer vendors. Our photographers, caterer, band, florist, were all out of this world amazing. We are very thankful that she connected us with them!
When we first interviewed wedding planners to help us plan our California wedding all the way in Texas, we appreciated all of the questions that Brooke asked on the front end. We also appreciated that she was willing to work within our budget and was not pretentious at all. She reassured us that we could have our dream wedding

Brooke and her team were amazing from start to finish. From their initial consultation, I could immediately tell that White Sage was focused on every single detail -- they weren't going to let anything slip through the cracks, which was very important to me. Her response time on email/text was almost immediate, making me feel at ease that every thing was going to be taken care of. Brooke is also very well versed in the wedding industry and knows what it takes to plan a heck of a party. What more could you want?! If you're looking for a great lady team based out of Ojai for your central coast wedding

Three cheers for White Sage. We were initially against the idea of hiring a wedding planner because we wanted to save the money and felt we could do it ourselves. Man, were we wrong! Friends talked us into getting one and we settled on White Sage after meeting with Brooke for a very in-depth session that reviewed all their services.
We worked directly with Denise who was diligent, hard working and constantly proactive about all the stuff that needed to be done – so much of which we had no idea about. She also kicked off by immediately getting us a discount with our rental company. Other discounts

We had our hearts set on getting married in Ojai, but we had been struggling to find a venue there that suited our budget and our sensibilities. We came across White Sage while browsing Instagram and we loved that they were local to Ojai and also seemed to have a beautiful aesthetic. When we met Brooke over drinks we immediately loved her. It was like reuniting with an old friend. She was so kind and open and easy to talk to and made us both feel like the things we wanted were completely attainable. She helped us find our dream venue with her local Ojai connections. We had been searching for a

Brooke and White Sage Weddings were recommended to us by a friend. They were so helpful in coordinating everything in the weeks leading up to the wedding and in making sure everything happened just as we wanted it to on our wedding day. Our wedding was perfect and we enjoyed every minute of it because Brooke made sure we didn’t stress over a thing. Thank you Brooke and White Sage Weddings for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives.
