The Wedding Capital of California

With almost two centuries of pioneer heritage, Nevada City remains the most complete gold town of California. It is both a genuine small town and a living museum.  Even so, the city attracts a rich culture and influence from both high-tech business entrepreneurs and from writers, artists and musicians looking to locate away from the stresses of big city life. 

Quality restaurants, an array of impeccable and charming hotels and bed and breakfasts, live theater, galleries, great shopping, and award-winning local wineries, combine to give the town a sense of “yesterday” and “today”. For all its beautifully sleepy and private hideaways, Nevada City is the recognized cultural and entertainment capital of the Sierra foothills.
