Events by Rincon Team
Marc Borowitz
President, Owner & Event Coordinator
Cell: 805.896.9541
Marc Borowitz is self-taught as he spent his youth in the kitchen and worked his way up from bus boy to opening his own restaurant, Brandon's in 1984.
Brandon's has since developed into Events by Rincon which boasts three premier venues-Rincon Beach Club, the Santa Barabar Zoo and Elings Park. Marc loves cooking and can often be found in the kitchen developing new menus, especially food with full body flavors, hitting all areas of the taste buds-sweet, salty, spicy. Marc has a strong passion for the event industry and is very hands-on with the management of the company. He believes in giving guests an amazing experience from start to finish.
Marc is partnered at Rincon with his wife, Carol. Marc and Carol have been married for over 35 years!
Carol Borowitz is co-founder, with her husband Marc, of Rincon Beach Club and Catering.
Two of the many roles Carol has for the company are event planning and the decor specialist. For over a decade Carol has worked side by side with Marc sharing her passion for the business and enriching the lives of many people. She graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Business Administration bachelor degree and Accounting minor. Credited largely to her expertise, many of the recipes still used within the business were first developed by Carol; the legendary chocolate brownies are particularly a company favorite.
Eloise Adler - Gevirtz
Social & Corportate Coordinator
Eloise’s event planning skills and love for the industry came full-circle once she joined Rincon in December, 2014. After 2 years of working with Rincon Beach Club clients, Eloise now handles everything from Social to Corporate clients at any location in the ‘805’
As a Santa Barbara native, deep roots and love for her hometown, her knowledge and passion for the Santa Barbara community is a strong asset for Team Rincon. A keen eye for detail, a remarkable sensibility to clients needs and an obsessive desire to get things right are her trademarks.
During her well earned down time, Eloise can be found traveling foreign countries, hiking the woods of California, camping, fly fishing, and experimenting in her own kitchen. Not only does Eloise slay in the event world, she also kills it as a mom to her sweet baby girl.
Kinsey Eager
WeddinG Coordinator
Originally from Whidbey Island, Washington, Kinsey escaped the rain and headed to Santa Barbara upon graduating from the University of Washington in 2021.
With “day-of” wedding and event experience, she craved a deeper connection with her clients, which ultimately led her to Rincon! Kinsey brings a youthful, bubbly, fun-loving energy to the Rincon Team. Her warm infectious personality draws clients in and creates a personal connection in their working relationship. Her favorite part about wedding and event planning is being by the client’s side throughout the entire planning process, making the vision a reality on the event day and seeing her couples more in love than ever.
On her off days you can find Kinsey catching a wave at C Street, long boarding along the strand in Ventura, or driving the PCH in search for the best sunset spot!
