Memories Last Forever with an Amazing Team Creating Dreams to Reality

When I reflect on my wedding day, which I do often, I have no regrets. I couldn’t have asked for any more of a perfect day. I read where some Brides wish they would have done many things differently and I am so fortunate not to have that feeling. Our wedding happens once. It is a day that we will remember forever and Marianne at Sierra Vista knows this. She has made it her goal to make everyone feel like a princess. Princesses don’t have a lot of stress because they have a team of people in their corner making their dreams become reality. In addition to Marianne, she has a well-oiled team who is experienced with one another and know how to do all of the behind the scenes work to create a magical day. Marianne and Katie with “A Little Party” coordinate everything for the day of the wedding so that the bride, her soon to be husband and guests can simply come to enjoy a union between husband and wife. I really could not imagine doing all of that on my own or designating inexperienced people to create such a care free day.
A Little Party handles it all!!! There are so many details and components to think about that the bride may forget or simply not think of and the ladies with A Little Party leave no questions out! They take the time to get to know the bride and what her vision is. Of course, I wish I could re-live that day at least once a month, but I have memories that I still day dream about and have to attribute that to Marianne and everyone who works so well together to organize and coordinate the day so that it was everything I had envisioned!!

Truly Spectacular

My husband and I recently got married at Sierra Vista and I cannot even put into words just how amazing they are. Their staff is a well oiled machine and works so very hard to make sure that your day goes off without a hitch. Marianne the owner is phenomenal and you can tell she truly cares about each and every wedding at her venue. Would recommend this amazing place to anyone in a heart beat. We truly had the wedding of our dreams.

Everything was perfect!

Everything was wonderful. It was the most perfect day at the most perfect place. The staff was friendly and accommodating to everything we needed, and all of our guests were equally impressed! The ONLY thing I can say to be wary of it if you get married in the middle of July like I did, the barn for the reception is HOT. They have air conditioning, but it only works so well in a barn with the doors constantly opening in the middle of summer heat. Granted, the heat didn't stop anyone from dancing and having a good time, but I definitely took breaks outside to cool down! Guests said the same thing. The place is still utterly perfect, and I'd have my wedding there a million times if I could!!

Must Have Wedding Venue

Sierra vista is an amazing venue. Marianne is awesome, she truly cares about her brides and their big day. She ensures everything runs smoothly, checks in with them, and always puts in 110%. She was there for Justin and I in every way possible. I love her so much and hope one day we get the chance to go back to the beautiful place!

Simply Amazing

My husband and I looked at many venues before deciding to pick SV. It was a decision we both have agreed over and over that was the best thing we did for our wedding and guests. We also decided to pick SV because of the wedding packages offered that includes DJ, Cake, Food, Flowers, and Wedding coordinators at an affordable price. This was important to us since we live in CA and wanted to make sure our package included this to ease the stress finding vendors that had no experience with SV. All the vendors associated with SV were professional and easy to work with. The wedding coordinators from A Little Party was just simply amazing and cared so much about you and your dream wedding. In addition, the owner Marianne is so warm, down to earth, and and very hands on. She went above and beyond to ensure my happiness and satisfaction was met. She even provided beautiful china rental for my cake dessert due to a small miscommunication between a vendor and I. You can bring your decor, dress, and bridesmaids dresses the day before and Marianne will steam your wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses! On the day of the wedding, she is on site to ensure things go smoothly and check in to see how you're doing. She even helped me use the bathroom when I couldn't find my bridesmaids!!! She didn't have to do any of that but that's just the type of person she is and the kind of customer service you will receive with Marianne. I can truly say Marianne and all the vendors associated with SV created my dream wedding and I had very little to worry about on wedding day. Because of them, I was able to stay present during my wedding day and enjoy every single minute of my special day. Thank you so much Marianne and each and every person who played a part my wedding, there are no words to express how all you of you made my husband and I feel on our wedding day. xo The Hartsels

Most amazing venue and service

Sierra Vista was everything I could have asked for in a venue and so much more! The venue is absoutely beautiful and the service is incredible. The owner and wedding coordinators went above and beyond to make our day perfect and to meet every want and need. You cannot pick a better venue, and the price was such a great deal on top of everything else!

breathtaking

We are so happy we chose Sierra Vista as our wedding venue. The owner Marianne was wonderful to work with and was with us every step of the way (she even used her personal tools and helped us disassemble our chuppah the morning after the wedding).
The venue was several hours from where we and most of our guests live, but once they saw it in person they understood why we chose it! The barn, getting ready suites, and mountains are all so breathtaking.
We went with one of Sierra Vista's packages which included catering, cake, flowers, and a planner for a very reasonable price. The package deal also simplified the entire planning process as we were able meet with all these vendors on site in a single day. The vendors included in the package all turned out to be fabulous as well. Our wedding day went smoothly thanks to the Sierra Vista staff who worked together with the vendors like a well oiled machine. I can't say enough good things about this venue!

Picture Perfect

It has been a year since my husband and I got married at Sierra Vista and we still cannot believe how perfect it was. Our guests still mention how beautiful it was and wish they could have gotten married there. The owner, Marianne, was so helpful, flexible, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She still knows us and treats us like family. Go with Sierra Vista, because it is impossible to have anything other than a picture perfect wedding. I mean, have you seen that Mountain View?? 😍

Marianne and staff at Sierra Vista is every bride's dream come true. I honestly didn't have 1 thing to possibly stress about the whole day thanks to her and her wonderful staff. Everything about the venue is absolutely perfect. The views, the bridal suite, the cabin, the barn. The property is absolutely stunning and I honestly would not have changed one thing about my day!! I would recommend this venue to ALL AND EVERY bride that is ever looking for a barn/mountainesque wedding. I even had wedding guests taking pictures of themselves with the sunset at the ceremony site because they loved the views so much. I can't thing of ONE SINGLE thing that Sierra Vista and staff could have done different. AMAZING!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
