Perfect Meal, Amazing Service, and Wonderful Staff!!

Everything that Sterling Events provided for our wedding was absolutely perfect!!! From catering and linens to bartending, setup, breakdown, and even day-of coordination, they were instrumental in making our dream day a reality. Everything ran incredibly smoothly, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the meal! We chose their Budget Italian Dinner with the addition of their spinach and artichoke dip served during our cocktail hour.

Sterling Events impressed us with their transparent pricing and clear communication, which was truly invaluable while wedding planning. Everyone we interacted with was exceptionally kind and courteous, but we must highlight the outstanding work of Emily Vidal, our coordinator and main contact at Sterling. Emily was not only friendly and detail-oriented but also incredibly prompt in her communication. Her presence was a gift in itself on our wedding day as she made our wedding day stress-free, which allowed us to fully enjoy and cherish the day. Her dedication made our experience with Sterling Events truly exceptional.

If you're looking for the perfect caterer for your wedding day then look no further!! Sterling Events had everything we needed and their seamless execution made our special day truly feel like a fairytale!

Amazing Vendor!

We used Sterling Events for our Catering and Day of Coordinating service for our wedding in August 2023. We highly recommend their services. Not only was the food AMAZING but the service was incredible. Everyone from our wedding hasn't stopped talking about the food. They met all of our catering needs and made the process so easy thanks to Emily Vidal. Emily was so informative and always accommodating to our schedules. She responded immediately to our hundreds of questions we had regarding details of our wedding. ...We truly couldn't have had an amazing wedding without her. Book them!

Everyone talked about how good the food was!

We were going to use another recommended caterer, but when we went to the tasting, the food was terrible! We were very stressed out finding a new caterer, but Sterling Events was awesome! Great to work with, start to finish. Highly recommend! Also, very reasonable compared to other quotes we received!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
