Riviera Mansion

Riviera Mansion, operated by the University Club of Santa Barbara, is a full-service wedding venue located in downtown Santa Barbara, formerly a private castle set among three central parks. The estate includes 10 interior rooms, curated gardens, patios, and lawns, with in-house catering handled by an Executive Chef, on-site Event Manager, and audio-visual equipment; spaces include a Sola Patio, main living room, and bridal and groom suites. Located in downtown Santa Barbara, steps from the courthouse and adjoining Alice Keck Park, with on-site parking including overnight parking. Couples highlight the multi-space layout that allows guests to move naturally through the property, the food quality (particularly the steak, chicken, coconut shrimp, and family-style patio dinners), and events director Christy's responsiveness and attention to detail throughout planning.
