Experience
We create timeless, elegant events with playful and fun elements that truly incorporate the personalities of our clients for a deeply intimate celebration for all attending. With a focus on guest experience and carefully-curated aesthetic elements, we want the well-timed special moments and overall vibe for guests to foster connection and make everyone feel truly comfortable & taken care of. With a commitment to making fun a top priority both during planning and on the Big Day, we give you an experience that is not only fulfilling and exciting but truly one-of-a-kind.
We Love Standing In The Room, Quietly, After Everyone Has Gone, Knowing That An Amazing Event Just Ended And That Everyone Is Safe In Their Beds Still Smiling About What A Wonderful Time They Had.
Sophie
Founder, Lead Planner & Creative Director
After 15 years building Amazing Days Events and producing 500+ weddings & events, my favorite part of a wedding is standing off to the side on the edges of the sunshine-filled lawn as guests enter cocktail hour ready for the party or in the bustling ballroom during dinner service, knowing that our couple is beyond-happy, their closest family & friends feel cared for and comfortable, and that there are core memories being made that evening…
I’m known for being direct but caring, efficient but flexible, helpful and thorough, organized and transparent and A LOT of FUN to plan with. I’m known to “run a tight ship” when it comes to production and on the day-of to make a timeline run like a clock while still making guests and our couples feel like all of the special moments are happening organically and easily.
A little about me… I’m a redhead with all of the energy and personality that goes with it. Born and raised in Santa Barbara, I feel beyond-fortunate to work in this gorgeous hamlet at some of the most beautiful venues in the world! I could talk about weddings for hours and have just as much fun geeking out over a well-curated timeline as I can about choosing fantastic linens for your cocktail tables!
The fun stuff… My newest culinary obsession are the fish tacos and margaritas at On The Alley at the Harbor, teal is my favorite color, I love colorful Mexican blankets and spicy cucumber margaritas with a half-tajin rim. I am raising two teenagers who have ginger hair, blue eyes, a wicked sense of humor and all the sass in the world. Maybe you’ll even catch my daughter working an event as an assistant!
I love what I do and I can’t wait to meet you and make your vision come together for a truly amazing day…
Xochilt
Senior Designer & Planner, Marketing Manager
& On Site Producer
After 10+ years of experience in event management and hospitality, I joined the Amazing Days Events team with a common goal of genuine connections and creating lifetime memories all while having fun in the process.
My passion for events, styling and planning all blossomed from my love to design and gather. Every event has a purpose, a feeling, a moment it’s meant to hold. I translate mere ideas & inspiration into thoughtful design and seamless execution, blending creativity with precision to produce events that feel personal, intentional, and tastefully cohesive.
I believe great events don’t just look good—they feel right. They reflect the people behind them, bring guests into the story, and leave a lasting impression. Together, we will discuss all of the design elements that make your event unique and authentic to you.
On event days, you’ll find me with a highlighter in my hand and a cooler full of snacks and fizzy water for our team. When I am not creating design decks or browsing current trends (or answering allll the emails), you can catch me hiking on the trails above Santa Barbara and beyond or walking into a Core Power yoga class!
I am a Santa Barbara native with a deep love for California’s outdoors and I love exploring and getting lost in the world outside of it too. (ask me about my 6-month backpacking trip to South East Asia!).
With my extensive background in food and beverage, I’m your go-to-gal for curating your dining offerings and menu and bar program while exploring personalized signature cocktails and allll of the fun glassware to go with them (gimme all the cucumber margaritas with Sophie at happy hour!).
Megan
Administrative Director & On Site Producer
My main focus at Amazing Days Events is to keep client & vendor communications running smoothly—both in the office and on wedding days. As Administrative Director, I oversee the details that keep our team and our clients supported, and you’ll often find me assisting at events or running the show on-site as Lead Coordinator to make sure everything unfolds seamlessly.
The fun stuff… I live in the Santa Ynez Valley with my hubby and two feisty, beautiful little ladies. Being a mom has only sharpened my superpower of staying calm, organized, and adaptable in even the most dynamic moments. I love everything about living in the Valley and all that it has to offer and love to share my favorites with our couples so their wedding weekend is as authentic for the guests as possible! A few faves: SY Kitchen in Santa Ynez, stunning views from Presqu’ile Winery, beautiful hiking trails like Montaña Del Oro, and we love tent camping in Los Padres National Forest whenever we can sneak away.
The important stuff… With 12 years of event experience and an extensive background in food and wine, I bring a thoughtful, hospitality-driven approach to planning and production. I’ve spent the last 8 years focused on weddings, where I thrive on logistics, timelines, and making sure every detail is thoughtfully executed—from our clients to the vendor team to our beloved guests.
Alana
On Site Producer
Born & raised on the Central Coast, I’ve been planning weddings and events here for over a decade, and I still get butterflies every time I see a wedding couple, in that quiet moment off to the side, soaking in their friends & family on their most special day. I love being a crucial part of experiences that feel effortlessly joyful while being intentionally organized & carried out. Expect calm energy from me on your wedding day but a “get it done” attitude behind the scenes.
When I’m not in wedding mode, I’m probably on a beach walk at East Beach with my husband, eating something delicious at a new restaurant, having a slice at St. Bibiana’s – ask me about restaurants in Santa Barbara! I know them all! – or figuring out where we should travel next.
I can’t wait to meet and work with you on such an important day!
