With the last name like Piano, it makes all too much sense that Judah and Katie’s wedding took place at the iconic Hotel Californian with their black and white design sprinkled throughout the venue. Set against the hills and waterfront of Santa Barbara, the Spanish Colonial Revival façade made for the perfect backdrop for these two to get married and share one of their favorite Southern California places with their loved ones. Keep scrolling to see how the day came together with the help of Tyler Speier Events and captured on camera by Jodee Debes Photography.

The perfect pops of pink

Tyler Speier Events leaned into the black, white, vibrant greens and gold accents of the hotel while adding pops of citrus and pink into the florals. They brightened the palette and created wow moments in the ceremony arch that doubled as the backdrop for the head table as the team flipped the space for the reception.
