The humble beginnings of a small business….the concept of Sierra Weddings was conceived one evening at a kitchen table, with friends, wine, a pen, a paper napkin and a new family's desire to have mom stay home with little ones.     
The napkin used to brainstorm is long gone….but the dream of Sierra Weddings has grown way beyond the perameters of the napkin!   On February 14, 2011 we will celebrate 14 successful years in business fulfilling the wedding dreams of brides and grooms from around the world.
