Tucked onto 78 acres overlooking the Pacific, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, combines the appeal of this coastal city with the beauty of its natural surroundings.

You can relax in spacious suites or indulge in the region’s abundant locally sourced cuisine. At this Santa Barbara resort, every moment is one to savor.

Engage! brings together leaders in the luxury wedding industry, from celebrity planners to luxury lifestyle experts to creative entrepreneurs offering unique insights on business strategies and life balance. International media is in regular attendance, offering opportunities for print and digital. Return Engagees take special care to welcome first-time attendees, and friendships are created and strengthened as busy pros take a break from serving others to share their successes and struggles with like-minded, high-caliber peers from the wedding and events community.

Intimate by design, Engage! blends a tailored schedule of curated activities, creative extras, and downtime, offering myriad opportunities for natural networking. From formal sessions to creatively themed breaks and explorations into the region, the mood is collaborative, not competitive.
