Amazing Wedding Coordinator!

My wife and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Care! She was incredibly helpful and provided guidance throughout our wedding planning season that culminated with a beautiful ceremony in Sedona. She assisted with the selection of vendors, helped us navigate questions we had on any and all topics, and worked hard to make sure our wedding day was truly amazing! And, to top it all off, Care is simply a kind and caring person.

If you are in need of an amazing partner to help guide and support you through the wedding process, don't hesitate to give Care a call at Sterling Weddings and Events!

A+++++++ experience

Wedding coordination at its best! I can’t imagine our wedding without Care. She made sure every little detail was covered and didn’t miss a thing in any of our vendors’ contracts. She was a star the day of the wedding. She coached and wrangled each wedding party member so they knew where to go and what to do. She even sat at the kid table to make sure they behaved. I would recommend her over and over again.

My husband and I had a fairly large wedding in Phoenix with several events. It was a daunting planning process and the single best decision we made was hiring Sterling Weddings and Events first. We worked with Care Schmidt from day one and she made a potentially stressful year very manageable and fun. She’s exactly what you need in a planner - meticulous with details, considerate with family and friends, connected to great vendors and full of creative ideas. As the event drew closer, Dawn and Kristen came onto our team as well and they reflected Care’s level of professionalism and style. Our wedding weekend couldn’t have been easy for them - it was chock full of logistics and long hours, but I never saw a single one of them sweat. Not only was the weekend perfect (literally, every detail!) but when it was over, I had countless guests comment about how amazing our coordinators were when they interacted with them. It’s worth mentioning that my husband and I don’t live in Phoenix, so they were our eyes and ears on the ground for the whole year of planning; having them was a priceless investment and we were so lucky to get them on our team. I honestly can’t say enough about this company.

I have had the pleasure recently to refer a bride to Care Schmidt with Sterling Events for I knew their pairing would be perfect. From the moment the bride had hired her I knew that she was in good hands and relief some of the stress that comes on this day. Care made sure the bride was at ease and relieved of all the details so that she could truly enjoy the moment. Sterling events did just that, with her staff the professionalism immediate. The communication to the vendors outlining the events schematics to the timeline for day was ideal. It is so nice to be able to partner with those that know the industry and raise the bar. I so look forward to recommending others to Sterling Events and working along side them in the future.
