Fess Parker's Doubletree Resort

Paige and the whole team were wonderful @ the doubletree. They accomodated my 30 person destination wedding just as they did the much larger weddings they had that weekend. We could not have been happier. Thank you for hosting my dream wedding!

Fess Parker was the best choice for our wedding and I truly believe for any wedding because they can accomodate for your needs on your big day as long as the date is available. Not only do they have an amazing view of the beach but they have SO many options that at one point my husband and I had to really think about what we wanted to do, we didn't expect all the choices! We had a small wedding (40 guests) and that was hard to find in Santa Barbara because most beautiful venues can only accomodate large wedding parties. But Fess Parker offered us various places to have our small ceremony (on the beach, in the rose garden facing the ocean, or in another small garden) AND we had various options for the reception (we could use the back room in their Steakhouse restaurant Rodney's, have catered food above their beautiful rotunda, or rent out a room inside the resort). They have more options for bigger weddings. In the end we had our ceremony in their rose garden facing the beach and large palm trees and a dinner in their steakhouse restaurant. They let us choose the menu for the steakhouse and basically whatever we wanted and asked for their answer was 'sure we will do it.' We worked exclusively with Paige Reid who is their Senior Catering Manager and she is AWESOME. Their prices are great, their view is amazing, and it is a HUGE resort. Go for a tour, I promise you will be impressed.

Amazing! All of our guests loved it! It had the "wow" factor that is for sure. The food was great, a little pricy but really good. It was everything and more that I could have ever dreamed of.

The employees at the Fess Parker were extremely helpful and professional. Ashley, who assisted with our plans could not have been more helpful. She was available at all times to answer questions or make suggestions. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and we highly recommend this facility for your wedding celebration.

The first time we checked out the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort as a potential venue for our wedding, we fell in love with it. And we're still convinced we couldn't have picked a better location. The plaza outside was so beautiful for the ceremony, with the ocean view right across the street. We kept the ceremony decorations simple, with only a decorated arch, and a ton of rose petals to put down along the center aisle. But unfortunately we were struck with Santa Ana winds, so the rose petals were not used. We provided cocktail hour on the rotunda, which was beautiful - and windy (darn Santa Ana winds!) And we chose the Reagan Room for the reception, that was the best part of it all. It was perfect for the size of our wedding, and it was so warm and romantic. Everyone has told us the venue was so beautiful, and they haven't been to a better wedding. Our Catering Manager, Paige Reid, really went above and beyond to help us make our wedding special. And the food, it was spectacular! We had various appetizers for cocktail hour like coconut shrimp, egg rolls, lamb chops, and stuffed mushrooms with crab. Our dinner consisted of three courses, shrimp cocktail, mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad, and a choice of filet mignon, roasted chicken with salmon, or vegetarian. I had the filet mignon, it was perfect, cooked just right. It was better than most filets I've had in chop houses in Southern CA. My mouth is still watering thinking about that steak! We're so sad the wedding is over, we had such a great time, it was perfect in every way (minus the wind!) We would definitely recommend this location for your wedding!

The rotunda at the Fess Parker is a beautiful venue, especially on a nice day (which is most of the year in Santa Barbara). The service staff were always happy to help with any last minute requests. The stations buffet was fantastic! I kept receiving compliments from the guests for weeks after the wedding.

GREAT SERVICE!!!!! We got married in the middle of the week and it was great for us. Everything was perfect! We recommend them to everyone who tells us they are getting married.

The Double Tree is absolutely beautiful! They have quite a few different options for your ceremony. We chose the beach ceremony which was amazing. There were also options for the rose garden and the rotunda which are equally beautiful.
