Kristen & Stewart decided to have their cocktail hour and reception at the beautiful Montecito Country Club after their Our Lady of Mt. Carmel wedding ceremony! The set up on the upper lawn was simply beautiful with rentals by Town & Country Event, Classic Party Rentals and design by TOAST Santa Barbara. The touches of lavender and Moscow Mules made it such a fun hour leading up to a beautiful and fun reception inside the country club! Here’s a look at all the gorgeous decor, florals, tables and all the fun had by the bride and groom and guests with live music by West Coast Music!

It’s a Bakersfield thing….gotta love Moscow Mules! Also – loved seeing past wedding couple and brother/sister-in-law of the bride Joe & Sophie!
One of my all-time favorite priests from Bakersfield, Msgr. Craig was the officiant at the wedding but had to miss the reception…..so it was only fitting that Kristen’s brother Joe bring out cardboard Msgr. Craig to help with the blessing! It was perfect!
It was so much fun when Kristen’s mother, Mikie Hay announced a surprise guest to sing for Kristen & Stewart – Bakersfield’s own Monte Byrom!
The best good night hug from one of my favorite mother of the bride!!
