Our Wedding Venue

Allow us to tell you a little bit about our wedding venue...

In 1872, Captain W.H. Johnson built a house on De La Vina Street in historical Santa Barbara for his wife and family. In 1962, it was moved to its current location on Los Patos Way located next to the Santa Barbara Bird Refuge and it was re purposed as an antique store for many years. Since 1996 it has been Stella Mare's Restaurant, a place where locals can go for a unique atmosphere and some of the best food found in Southern California.
