ABOUT US

who we are

Kim Curtis began her career in event design and coordination in 1995 while living in San Diego, CA. Her family brought her back to her hometown of Santa Barbara, CA in 2003 and TOAST Santa Barbara was launched shortly after.

After years of focusing on the coordination, aesthetic and production side of events, Kim expanded her repertoire to include full-service floral offerings. She now leads the floral design side of TOAST working hand in hand with Tamara to create seamlessly designed and executed events from start to finish.

When not up to her elbows in flowers, Kim is out adventuring with her husband, two grown sons, two rambunctious Golden Retrievers and one feisty gato.

Meet TAMARA

Tamara Stahlheber joined TOAST Santa Barbara in 2012. Pairing her passion for design with exceptional organization and attention to detail, she quickly found a love for event design, planning and production.

She now heads the coordination side of TOAST, leading all full-service weddings and events. Her calm demeanor and easy-going nature bring a lightness to the planning process and event days, while her drive and focus make sure the details all run smoothly (and on schedule!).  

Originally from San Diego, she has called Santa Barbara home since attending UCSB (Olé!), where she met her husband. They can usually be found at the beach with their son and giant Hovawart pup.
