  No regrets in choosing the Stow House

  This was the first and only venue my wife and I visited when trying to decide where we wanted to get have our ceremony and cocktail hour (we were at a different location for the reception). We were both stunned at how beautiful and well kept it is! I don't mean to overstate how much we enjoyed our wedding at this venue by giving five stars to all the categories in the review, but we would not have changed a thing. Karen Poulter, the event coordinator, was very responsive and helpful, working with us to answer all of our vendor and set-up questions for the day.

  Very Flexible and Helpful

  We did our ceremony at the Stow house in 2022 and it was first off beautiful with all the different trees and beautiful house for pictures, but Karen the manager was beyond professional, prompt, and flexible. We took a while to actually decide on timing and day but she was more than willing to try to fit us in as best she could and offer us whatever resources that were available from the property. She was also very kind throughout the process and the after math. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the the Stow house!

  Beautiful Property & Karen is Amazing

  We found Rancho La Patera & Stow House by chance on an instagram post. After reaching out to secure a date, I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She was on top of everything and went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special. There are unlimited places for a ceremony and our pictures came out absolutely stunning. There is even a room for the bride to wait in, with AC!, and we squeezed in the bridesmaids before the ceremony! I am so glad we decided to hold our ceremony here and look forward to visiting again in the future.

  This was the perfect venue for our intimate, rustic family wedding. The setting is so serene and the grounds are gorgeous. Loved it!

  Stow House was great as the venue we chose for our wedding ceremony. I wanted
  
  an outdoor venue and this was the perfect choice for us. Dacia helped us throughout the
  
  long preparation, for the wedding, and patiently guided us in working out all the details
  
  for the Big Day. Tiffany, who helped us at the rehearsal and on the Day Of the ceremony,
  
  gave us such good suggestions on how to improve certain aspects, and provided the
  
  assistance needed to carry out the suggestions. She was with us the entire day from early
  
  in the morning until dusk. We were so grateful that the Bridal Room was air conditioned
  
  as the day turned out to be quite warm. We were also able to chill the bottled water in the
  
  kitchen, so it stayed colder when we put it on ice hours before the ceremony began. We
  
  highly recommend this site as a wedding venue. You will not be disappointed.

  Stow House is a true gem for a wedding venue. I had the perfect fairy tale wedding, and it would not have been possible without the gorgeous setting Stow House offers. It is so classic and natural. The best part is that you can be very creative with the space--with both small and large weddings. The cost of the venue is by far the best value in Santa Barbara County without a doubt. I searched multiple venue sites, and all were at least double the cost of Stow House (and not nearly as beautiful). Dacia, the event coordinator, is an absolute joy to work with--very friendly and attentive. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my entire experience with Stow House.

  Highly Recommend the Stow House!

  If you are looking for a wonderful outdoor venue in Santa Barbara then I highly recommend the Stow House! We had a 240 person wedding and it was perfect. You get access to three large lawn spaces, and you can bring in your own food, drinks, music, games, and seating. We had BBQ and taco stations, two bars, a live band, many lawn games, and a variety of seating options. The grounds are beautiful and there are nearby paths that make for wonderful photos. Tiffany was excellent to work with and we are so happy we chose the Stow House!

  I worked with Dacia and she was great. She was able to get me a discounted price on the venue. Everything was super nice, and the grass was trimmed and everything was just perfect.
  
  Our wedding turned out amazing! and this location made it rustic and chic
