A Rosewood Miramar Wedding in Montecito: Danielle & Jonathan

Some weddings are unforgettable not only because of their beauty but because of the people at the heart of them. Danielle and Jonathan’s wedding at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, California was the kind of day that had it all — flawless design, a breathtaking setting, and personal touches that made guests smile at every turn.

The morning began with Danielle in a beachside suite at Santa Barbara’s Rosewood Miramar, where sunlight streamed in and the sound of the waves set the tone for the day. Her gown was nothing short of extraordinary, a piece adorned with hand-sewn 3D florals. A matching veil completed the look, though it came with a moment that instantly became a memory: when the tag needed to be cut off, no one had scissors on hand. But in a room full of surgeons, a scalpel was quickly produced, and with one careful flick, the veil was ready.

Jonathan got ready in the Miramar cottages, tucked among winding paths and lush gardens. These little lanes were one of the couple’s favorite parts of the venue, and it was important to them to spend time walking through them together later in the day.

When Danielle and Jonathan met for their first look on the great lawn, they immediately smiled and embraced. From there, we wandered through the Rosewood Miramar property for portraits — through the garden paths, across the lawns, and down to the beach. The ocean backdrop created one of those iconic Santa Barbara wedding moments couples dream about.

The ceremony unfolded on the great lawn, framed by rainbow florals from Blooms by Melly that transformed the space into something truly magical. With bright skies overhead and a gentle ocean breeze, it was the kind of California day that makes Rosewood Miramar one of the most sought-after Montecito wedding venues. Joyan Design orchestrated every detail seamlessly, blending grandeur with heartfelt intimacy.

Cocktail hour carried that same sense of personality and playfulness. Guests mingled among curated lounges with velvet accents in pink and green. Fun, personalized cocktails were served while a live illustrationist from Yellow and Lace sketched guests through the evening, creating keepsakes that doubled as entertainment.

Welcoming everyone into dinner was an unforgettable seating chart that made the entire crowd laugh. A sign cheekily read, “The Doctors will seat you now,” and each guest received an Rx-style prescription pad complete with a personalized note from Danielle and Jonathan. It was a clever nod to their lives as surgeons and a detail that perfectly reflected their personalities.

As the sun began to set, the reception reveal was nothing short of magical. Drapery cascaded softly across the room, rainbow-hued florals filled the space with color, and twinkle lights above the stage created a romantic glow. The Lucky Devils Band brought the energy, keeping the dance floor full as guests toasted, laughed, and celebrated late into the night. From the stationery by Studio Restore Co to the lighting design by Spark Creative Events, every element carried through the couple’s vision of a joyful, elegant celebration.

Danielle and Jonathan’s Rosewood Miramar wedding was a true reflection of who they are: refined yet playful, deeply connected, and full of heart. Every space of the venue, from the cottages to the beach to the great lawn, became part of their story. For couples dreaming of a Montecito or Santa Barbara wedding that feels luxurious yet personal, Rosewood Miramar Beach proved to be the perfect backdrop for a day that was both unforgettable and entirely their own.
