Montecito Club Reviews
Victoria Young(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2022 After extensive research, we settled on the Montecito Club. The team here was amazing — super responsive, flexible, and great to work with. The venue itself is absolutely spectacular — the ocean view and the newly renovated interiors made our wedding feel even more magical and grand than we could have even hoped! Kim, Bailee, Michael — they were all really thoughtful, compassionate, respectful, and kind through every step of the process. We are so happy we went with Montecito Club! Amazing venue.

Hailey Harrington(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2022 The Montecito Club is incredible in every way. It's a beautiful venue in SB with stunning views from the upper lawn where we had our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was quiet / peaceful during our ceremony, as MC club members were notified of a wedding. We looked at dozen of places, but as soon as we walked the upper lawn (for ceremony + cocktail hour), we knew it was right and we were blown away by the breathtaking views.It fit the beachy, timeless elegance vibe we were envisioning for our wedding. Beyond the stunning views from The Lawn, they have multiple venue spaces for you to pick - we used the indoor ballroom for our reception/dinner and the rotunda room for dancing. Finally, the staff is all incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially Kim. I could not say enough good things about her; she's so helpful, kind, and went above and beyond on the day of our wedding. Also, the appetizers, dinner, and drinks were all phenomenal and with 5-star service. Montecito Club made our wedding day absolutely perfect, I only wish we could do it again! Reviewed on 07-05-2022
Sara F(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2019 We just had the most beautiful wedding at Montecito Club. Every person from the club was both professional and supportive and a pleasure to work with. The Montecito Club team is absolutely amazing. Sarah Lehmberg and her team listened to what we wanted, and then they delivered beyond our expectations and what was promised, and the follow up was always great. We could not be more pleased. Our guests all commented about how special the venue and setting was. The chef Jamie West and staff delivered great Hors d'oeuvres and a fabulous meal that was served beautifully. The service was impeccable; the bartenders were fun and the signature drink they made for us was well received. Sarah and Jennifer always went the extra mile, answered our questions and requests quickly and completely. Sarah offered great suggestions and recommendations -- totally took care of us. The evening was fun and beautiful and we felt very well taken care of. Our thanks to the incredible team at Montecito Club! They produced a wonderful and memorable event for us, family, and friends.

chelsee gershman(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-03-2014 We feel in love with the Montecito the first time we were there and knew it had to be the place we would say our Vows. The team at the Montecito is very professional and made use feel very important. We were able to store some of our wedding things in their office the day before our wedding, which was a big help. Kendra and clair were very good at making sure we were taken care of through out the whole wedding process. If you have never seen the views here, you must go and check it out. They are willing to work on a budget with you , and although there are some fees you can not avoid, it is worth every penny to get married in such a beautiful setting. If you want an ocean view of the beach and a rustic cabin feel, look no further. Reviewed on 30-04-2014
Chris Manzo(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2013 Absolutely thrilled with our choice of venue. Everything went off without a hitch, Staff was always around to make sure everything ran smoothly. Having the venue at MCC removed a great deal of worry and stress, because everything was taken care of when we arrived. And for once, people were raving about the food at a wedding, which is no small task. 10 stars! Reviewed on 29-07-2013

John Thyne(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-01-2012 Claire at the Montecito Country Club was an absolute joy to work with and she helped us host what many called the perfect wedding! The location and views of this property are tough to beat and the food was divine. We highly recommend this venue! Reviewed on 09-02-2012
Penia Sutarja(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2011 The venue has everything that we were looking for. An amazing ocean view, a huge outdoor ceremony lawn, a rustic high-ceiling reception hall, a rather secluded entrance to the club and all that at an affordable price. \r\rOn top of that, the food was good and Claire, the event coordinator, was the easiest and nicest person to work with. We cannot be happier with the place....everything was so great. Reviewed on 14-11-2011
Alyson Sorensen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2011 Included catering, linens, table set up, and ceremony set up and break down without the need to rent chairs! All inclusive and beautiful spot to get married with ocean views! Reviewed on 26-10-2011
Shellena Heber(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2011 We have been members of the Montecito Country Club for quite some time but, for some odd reason, I didn’t think about having out wedding there until rather late in the game. Perhaps it was the memories of all the golf and tennis summer camps as a child that kept it out of my thoughts but when I finally realized what a perfect space it is I felt right at home using it as best as we could. While they can hold many more, our guest count of 240 was almost a bit snug. Clair (the primary coordinator) is so wonderful to work with and is willing to help make your dreams a reality. The staff is all friendly and the chef is wonderful. Make sure that the chef will actually be present at your tasting… our first tasting was done by his sous chef and simply could not compare. As one would expect with a club, it is a bit pricier but you really cannot beat the view and the beautiful windows! Reviewed on 30-07-2011

Krista Tadlock(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-03-2008 The wedding planning staff at the Montecito Country Club was incredible. Nick was a lifesaver! They made sure that the event ran very smoothly. I they arranged for linen and tree rentals and helped to coordinate withour other vendors. The food at MCC was incredible. Peoplekept coming up to us and telling us how delicious it was! We offered a choice of beef or fish and both were high-quality entrees that reminded us more of a five-star restaurant than a country club banquet kitchen! The ambience at MCC is amazing. The view is spectacular and the venue itself is amazing. Reviewed on 05-09-2008
