Little Bird Events

Hi I’m Sierra!

I’ve never taken the time to introduce myself on this platform, so I thought I’d give it a go. I got my start planning lavish corporate events at some of the most prestigious hotels and private venues in Santa Barbara, CA. From there it slowly evolved into weddings through my work connections...my boss got married, a coworker’s brother wanted help with their wedding and so on...When I first started event planning, everyone told me I should do it full time but I thought they were crazy. Now here I am 17 years later doing just that!

I absolutely love getting to be artistic and creative while simultaneously managing all of the moving parts and keeping things organized and running smoothly. I feel like all of my previous jobs and life experiences were leading me to this path and now that I’m on it, it feels so right. Seeing the look on my clients faces when they first see the reception space fully decorated and watching them have a beautiful and memorable day that is stress free gives me so much joy and purpose.

Some things about me you may not know:

I’ve been a vegetarian for 28 years.

I absolutely love the snow and would happily trade the heat of summer for more snow days.

I’m a huge animal lover and must say hi to all animals, especially dogs, that I cross paths with.

The mountains are my happy place and where I feel most at peace.

I danced ballet and tap for over a decade and still tap dance today.

If you read to the end, thank you! I’d love to hear some fun facts about you that I may not know!

I’m sure you are familiar with the quote “Choose a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” While there is a lot of wisdom there, it’s not entirely accurate. Being a wedding planner is my dream job and it is incredibly rewarding. Being a small business owner and working with people who have a lot of money, emotions and family dynamics tied up in one day and you’ve got yourself a challenging situation. It’s definitely a demanding and stressful industry but I still wouldn’t trade it. Anything that lets kind of joy show on my face is totally worth it.

This wedding arch is what wedding dreams are made of!! Thank you to .studio for absolutely crushing it! Wedding number 4 of this season was a huge success and I was honored to be a part of it.

Tough day at the “office” today! I got to ride the chair lift up AND down to do a venue tour with clients at Roundhouse in Sun Valley. Then I got to help taste delicious food and look at gorgeous flowers!! I love my job. ❤️

Happy International Women’s Day!

Starting my own business and weathering the storm that is this crazy world has not been easy; but man, has it been rewarding!! Getting to call all the shots and living the life I want to live is priceless. Of course I wouldn’t be here today without the amazing women in my life. Especially my mom. I wish she could see me crushing it right now. So I just wanted to say thank you to all of the amazing girl bosses I have in my life. Thank you for inspiring me everyday with your wisdom, your strength, your resolve, your bravery and your creativity. You lift me up when my spirits are low and you support me and give me advice when I ask for it. It is so important to surround yourself with good people. I hope I give back as much as I get.

Remember to be kind to the women warriors around you. You never know what someone else might be going through. Let’s all lift each other up!
