Bacara Resort & Spa

If you’re looking for luxury, Bacara Resort & Spa delivers far beyond expectation! AMFM recently helped celebrate Elizabeth and Philip’s wedding at this gorgeous Santa Barbara venue.

We absolutely love the dramatic ocean view atop their outdoor ceremony and reception site, The Bluff, and have also had the pleasure of performing in the Bacara Ballroom for indoor receptions as well.
