Established in 2008, Soigné Productions may be one of the newest event planning companies in Santa Barbara County, but owner Tonya Szele is not new to the industry. Her professional experience over the past twelve years includes catering management at Wine Cask in Santa Barbara and venue direction and event planning at Firestone Vineyard in Los Olivos. During her career, Tonya has planned more than 600 events: including weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, social gatherings and winery festivals. Now that she has started her own full service event planning company, she will be able to put her expertise to good use in producing events of all styles and sizes in Santa Barbara, the Santa Ynez Valley and the surrounding areas.

Jennifer Clasen, our associate planner, brings with her a wealth of experience in film and event production, photography, floral design, fine wine, dining and catering. She has worked and lived all over the world in places such as Aspen, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, New York, London, Sidney, New Delhi and Cape Town. In addition to planning events with Soigné Productions, she owns a successful photography company, Clasen Photography.

Together, we have established close relationships with the best vendors in the area to be able to help you gather the ideal team of professionals based on your vision. We are passionate about the events we help to produce and our calm and professional demeanor helps our clients enjoy the event planning process from start to finish.

Please call us anytime to schedule a complimentary consultation. We look forward to the
opportunity to help you plan the wedding of your dreams.
