Stress-free Dream-Worthy Wedding
I truly don't know where to begin in reviewing Little Bird Events. I don't think our wedding would have happened without them (or at least not with a lot more blood, sweat, and tears). My (now) husband and I found Little Bird Events through some thorough Google searches and noticed the hundreds of 5 star reviews so thought we would reach out to talk to them. We had an initial introduction meeting with Sierra and Shadaya, thought it was a good fit, so partnered with them to plan our out-of-the-ordinary wedding. Saying that we gave them a challenge with our dream wedding adventure is an understatement. Bryant and I used to live in Southern California but would go on a yearly road trip towing a 12ft jet boat he built to do some sightseeing, usually from a river. The Snake and Salmon Rivers have always been our favorite stops so we decided to get married there.
Seems easy enough but not really; here's a taste of what our wedding vision entailed and what we challenged Sierra and Shadaya with:
- Pretty remote location (Riggins, ID) without close access to vendors or many normal amenities
- A ceremony venue that had never hosted a wedding, was 1.5 hours from Riggins and the reception venue, and most crazy of all, was only accessible by jet boat.
- A reception venue that had hosted weddings in the past but did not come with any amenities (tables, chairs, catering, etc. would all have to be arranged separately).
- Though we wanted the day to be an adventure our family and friends could enjoy with us, we still wanted it to be a nice affair with your typical wedding offerings (seated and catered dinner, nice table settings, quality bar, etc.)
- My family is originally from France so I wanted a traditional French dessert, a croquembouche
- Guest count of 90-110 people where 100% of people were from out of town
- All of this planned with us (the bride and groom) living in Texas
Sierra and Shadaya did not back down from the crazy asks and made all of the above come true. They helped us identify and partner with amazing vendors who all had to manage the remote location and lack of a typical wedding venue. In addition to selecting top notch vendors, Sierra and Shadaya ensured our day-of logistics went off without a hitch which was no easy task. As an example of them going above and beyond, I had forgiven to bring the small basket I had bought for the flower girl's flower petals to the ceremony venue (again, very remote and only accessible by boat). Shadaya saved the day by thinking on her feet and using one of the venue's unused woven flower pots as a makeshift basket. It worked like a charm. I didn't even notice until I saw one of the flower girl pictures after the wedding and realized my oversight. You wouldn't have guessed that wasn't the intended basket!
Shadaya and Sierra also created a very detailed and precise timeline that did not leave anything to chance and went exactly according to plan. In one of our meetings leading up to the wedding day I remember commenting that I thought I was forgetting something as I did not feel stressed or overwhelmed as I had heard so many other brides complain about leading up to the wedding day. All this to say is that we highly highly recommend hiring Little Bird Events for your event. You won't regret it. Our friends and family are still raving about the day saying that it's the best wedding they've ever attended.
