KIM COLOMBINI, OWNER OF WEDDINGS BY THE SEA AND
KimMarie Photography

My name is Kim Colombini.  I am the owner of Weddings by the Sea and in Partnership with Alma Rose Middleton our fabulous Celebrant! 

I have had 40 years of experience in business as Manager, event coordinator, administrator and photographer. As one of the few Notary Publics in Santa Barbara County licensced to issue Confidential Marriage Licenses, I would be happy to issue your marriage license and notarize the accompanying paperwork to relieve you of the burden of having to go the County Clerk's Office to obtain your own Public Marriage License.  I can also issue last minute Confidential Marriage Licenses in emergency situations.  Please refer to my FAQs MARRIAGE LICENSE page for detailed information and the nuances in marriage licenses.
 

I have lived and worked in Santa Barbara for thirty-five years and have two beautiful daughters, Danielle and Tanya. 

I am a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and have received over 5 years of photographic training with the Venice School of Photography in Venice, Italy as well as in Provence, France. I have recently finished a 2 week workshop in Cuba with Lorne Resnick Photography.

I have photographed over 750 weddings and events locally as well as internationally.  I have had full page photos in several different magazines including the Montecito Journal Magazine.  My photography will capture every aspect of your special day from hair and makeup to the reception! Please take a look at the Photo section of my website and see our beautiful beaches, parks and our Historic Santa Barbara Courthouse.

   

Our soulfelt congratulations on your engagement and upcoming nuptials!  This is always a very exciting time for couples and every moment should be cherished.

 

ALMA ROSE MIDDLETON, CELEBRANT

My name is Alma Rose Middleton and I live in beautiful Santa Barbara, California.  I am happily married to the most wonderful man in the world as you soon will too (or wife).  I can truly speak from my own experience that marital bliss does exist...my husband (and love of my life) being my biggest inspiration for my work in wedding celebrancy.

I am a non-denominational certified wedding Celebrant/Officiant & Minister from the Celebrant Foundation & Institute in New Jersey and very proud to acknowledge that I am one of only 400 certified celebrants in the entire U.S. 

As a celebrant, you learn to create unique rites of passage personalized ceremonies through rituals and creativity.  For example, some of my signature rituals and ceremonies are where I use real seashells to pour from in the unity sand ceremony (not glass containers), the sand dollar ceremony, arch of hands ritual, and your first dance on the beach. Most importantly, the stress free concept by designing all-inclusive wedding packages that will alleviate the stresses of planning a wedding.  You just show up looking beautiful and I do the rest.
 
I do not discriminate against any faiths, cultures or lifestyles.  I am fluent in Spanish and will be happy to conduct your wedding ceremony in a bilingual manner.

My specialty are beachside weddings on our beautiful Santa Barbara coastline along with wine country weddings in our enchanting Santa Ynez Valley.  Whether your ceremony is formal or informal, I will  be more than happy to  pronounce you husband and wife in other areas of Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Ojai, Ventura and Los Angeles counties. 

 I promise to bring “to the table” almost two decades of service in the wedding industry.  My extensive experience started in wedding make-up artistry, then floral design, as event coordinator and now as a wedding celebrant/officiant.  

As a testimonial to the quality of my work, please click on the THANKS YOU’S page to read couple’s experiences after working with me.  I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do.  I occasionally read them to reflect on the wonderful memories!
