Fantastic times ten!

Fun evening at the Poe Speakeasy. The actors were good, the poems well presented, and the extemporaneous humor was great. Four drinks included, I chose mocktails, which I thought were great. My friend said the cocktails were a little short on alcohol.We certainly do it again, because it was different from most of the things we'd usually do and felt very cultured but at the same time not culture...

Fab acting

We used The Narrative Loft for a wedding reception. From the first point of contact, Breanna was responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. We were in an unfortunate situation where our original venue closed down last minute, and Breanna made sure we were taken care of.

I would highly recommend this space for any event you are hosting! A huge thank you to Breanna and her team. Less

Insufficient restrooms for venue.

I found the Narrative Loft when searching for my wedding venue and from the moment I stepped inside I knew this was where I wanted our special day to be. The staff was terrific to work with, answered all my many questions over the year of planning, and I couldn't be more grateful to have found them and couldn't recommend them more.

Your wedding will be PERFECT!!! I am so fortunate to have chosen such a beautiful and affordable venue; best of all CONSIDERATE staff. My wedding day, like many, was wild.

I absolutely loved having my event at the Narrative Loft. It’s located right near the Funk Zone and is a chic modern loft space that was exactly what I had in mind; I was so happy I found it. Not only was Bree and her team extremely responsive and helpful, but she also used her years of experience to help me create the best layout and flow for my event. They also had most of the rentals we needed which saved us from having to pay more to another vendor. This space was so beautiful and unique, I searched every venue in SB (and trust me there are a lot) and none had the charm that the Narrative Loft had. I highly recommend anyone to have their wedding reception or other event here, you won’t be disappointed. Less

Last year we held an event at the NL for a work function, start to the year sales kickoff. Bree was wonderful to work with. The venue staff were friendly, proactive in helping us get what we needed, and reliable. The space was nice and clean and they had all the furniture and amenities we needed.

We loved working with Bree, the venue director. She was so caring, professional and responsive throughout the process. It made booking our venue so easy! We also loved the fact that we could bring in whatever caterer we wanted as well as alcohol. This helped us be able to stay within our budget and still have our dream Santa Barbara wedding. We wish we could do it all over again! Less

The architecture and design of the space is awesome--it allows for so much versatility depending on event style/theme and even budget. It's really hard to find an event venue like this in Santa Barbara not to mention because of the location (non-residential) you can keep your party going until 1am and we took advantage of this and we danced the night away! If you are looking get away from the typical hotel wedding/event and prefer to have a space curated to your own taste and style plus the flexibility and creativity of choosing from any vendors + having the space until 1 am vs the normal 10pm curfew, you should absolutely take advantage of booking this amazing and one of kind venue in SB!

My wife and I recently purchased a home in Ventura with the help of the O’Toole Group and were very pleased with the level of professionalism, knowledge and customer service Sean and Casey provided. We did not live in the area, so coordinating property viewings and inspections during the escrow period were sometimes challenging. Sean and Casey were very accessible and accommodating to our busy work schedules. The pièce de résistance however, was their successful management of the installation of a new private sewer lateral on the property. Ventura’s infrastructure is antiquated, and during escrow we discovered several issues with a fiber optic scope of the line. Although the new city ordinance allows this to be negotiated during the escrow period, Sean and Casey pushed very hard to have this burden be assumed by the seller which ultimately happened. Once the seller began the work, the O’Toole Group was there every step of the way, providing us with quotes, proof of signed city permits, accurate time-frames for completion and pictures of the work in progress! I would highly recommend the O’Toole Group for real estate transactions in the Ventura and Santa Barbara area. Less

We had to do all of this remotely from out of state and they were great at sending photos and information to us whenever we requested. They took walk through videos of the house, explaining any cracks or problems. This really helped us out when we making any repair requests. They were available for us whenever we needed. The seller of our property also used them. They were incredibly fair and supportive of our needs and wants while working for both the buyer and seller. As first time home buyers they explained everything to us incredibly well, so that we were able to fully comprehend exactly what we were signing and agreeing to. In the future we would 100% recommend them to our friends and family without any hesitation. Less
