COMING SOON - Online Events!!!

Givezooks is busily working on a new Events web service that will be available in the early part of next year. This new events web service will allow planners to easily publish and promote fundraising events online. There is also an ability to sell tickets, accept donations and sell sponsorships for these events.


This tool should be a great resource. It is easy to use, cuts down on costs and streamlines productivity and accurateness, all while publicizing the event and bringing in more money. That is one of Events of Santa Barbara Inc.'s motto - "Work smarter not harder."

Weddings - The other side.....


Saturday Melissa and I celebrated a friend's wedding at the Four Seasons Biltmore.
As wedding planning professionals, we were thrilled to be on the other side.


Our Review A++
(but what else would you expect with such a team of well seasoned professionals)?


The ceremony site was stunning.









Melissa and I enjoying Cocktail Hour with breathtaking views, great food and amazing staff (complimentary dolphins swam by)
Escort card table


As soon as you walked into dinner you were welcomed by
a black dance floor and the head table.
The mirrors hung in the back gave the room such character and depth.



one of the centerpieces





Cake delicious and gorgeous - Decadence
The silver/gray colored draping and LED lighting transformed the
Art Deco ballroom into the Soft Glam Rock.


Two Cabanas filled the room and were very popular throughout the evening.
The Chandeliers hanging in the center finished the look. - Bellavista Designs

The invitations, table numbers, escort cards, menu and favor tags all carried the theme from beginning to end, very classy. Created by the talents of Lazaro Design


Rebecca from Imagine Events did an amazing job of executing all the details. She even had a lint roll brush in hand ensuring that all wedding party looked flawless before taking their step down the aisle. It was so nice to see the happy couple relaxed and having an amazing time and taking every moment in. Thank you Rebecca!

Nico Designs' creativity and ability to read his clients well captured the vision & essence of the bride and groom; and catching every guest’s attention to each design detail which unfolded throughout the evening.


First Dance, see Miki and Sonja working diligently in the background?

Gavin Roy - SBDJ's, had us on our feet and off our chairs dancing all night long, and boy, we were a group of dancers.
