Sterling Hotel by Wedgewood Weddings

Wedgewood came through with the all-inclusive experience in more ways than we could hope for. Maybe we got lucky with our coordinator, Katherine, or maybe this is how they treat every couple but we were blown away by how well everything went. I even found out later about little snags that came up unexpectedly that Katherine handled discreetly and smoothly. She even snuck a picture of us immediately after the ceremony and put it on our sweetheart table! We left a lot of trust in their hands and they exceeded our expectations. 10/10 for sure!!

Katie, Averi and Taylor were so helpful and very easy to talk to. Anything we needed, they something prepared and more. They were so knowledgeable in all the things especially when it came down to picking and choosing the details. Katie, our day-off coordinator was superb, she was our calming presence when we were getting overwhelmed on our special day. She took care of everything from where to keep our phones down to our rings! She was our fairy god mother for the night.
Everybody did such a great job. The food was delicious, our banquet captian Scout was so sweet she made sure we were well fed the whole night , our dj Brian can read the room and just know how to switch gears to pick up the mood. Our bartender made all our signature drinks perfect (and we had 4!)

We really appreciate everything the team did for our special day to be truly remarkable. Hands down will definitely recommend Wedgewood Sterling Hotel.

The Sterling Hotel at Wedgewood turned our wedding into an absolute fairytale. They have mastered the art of crafting a seamless and unforgettable celebration. Planning our wedding from out of state could have been overwhelming, but the Sterling Hotel's team made it effortless. The long tenure of their staff, most of them being there for years, speaks volumes about the quality of the venue and the company culture at Wedgewood. This positive environment translates into happy, dedicated staff who truly excel at their jobs and go above and beyond to ensure you have the best day of your life.

Venue: The venue is absolutely stunning, especially with the recent renovations (August 2024). I appreciated the variety of spaces where guests could relax, sit, and mingle. While an outdoor ceremony in a Sacramento summer can be risky, I felt confident knowing they had backup options we could easily pivot to if it was too hot. The outdoor ceremony area was nicely shaded and even in 97 degree weather, it was surprisingly comfortable. Even though the venue is downtown, it felt like a secluded haven with minimal background noise.

Coordination: Their team of talented coordinators worked seamlessly together, ensuring every question I had was answered incredibly quickly. I don't recall a single instance where I waited more than 24 hours for a response. They were also very flexible in accommodating many of my untraditional requests. Their leadership throughout our multiple venue meetings was invaluable, ensuring every detail was covered and leaving no room for surprises on the big day.

Day of Coordination: While many talented individuals contributed to our special day, Katie truly stood out. I had been apprehensive about not having an external wedding coordinator, as you often hear horror stories of venue coordinators prioritizing the venue's interests, but this couldn't be further from the reality I had with SHWW. Katie helped manage everything I could have ever dreamed of and plenty of things I didn't dream of because that's how well she knows weddings. From perfectly timing the ceremony to handling boutonnieres and bouquets, executing my decor vision flawlessly, and even resolving an outside vendor issue, Katie was always two steps ahead, ensuring everything ran perfectly. Her dedication and proactive approach made us feel completely supported and stress-free throughout the entire day.

Food: The food was fantastic and received rave reviews from everyone we talked to. We had a diverse group of guests with various dietary restrictions, and the venue did an amazing job accommodating all of their needs. We opted for the plated meal service and were impressed with how quickly and efficiently they were able to serve everyone's meals.

Bartenders/Serving Staff: : The team was absolutely amazing! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The handoff from our coordinator to the captain went smoothly, and Averi ensured everything ran without a hitch and our needs were met. By that point, there wasn't much coordination left to do, so it definitely didn’t feel necessary to have a coordinator there (but I would have partied with Katie all night if I could have) as Averi was able to handle anything that arose. The staff also went above and beyond by packing up our belongings at the end of the night, making our departure stress-free and easy.

Contracted Vendors: Wedgewood's all-inclusive packages are undoubtedly a major plus, eliminating the stress of coordinating multiple vendors and knowing that the vendors are all very familiar with the venue. However, for couples with a very specific vision (like us), it's important to be aware that achieving those unique touches might involve additional costs for upgrades beyond the standard offerings.

To give you an idea, we had 61 guests with the Elite package and below is what we ended up paying extra for certain customizations. Of course, your experience may vary depending on your preferences.

That being said we were beyond thrilled with all of the vendors. They executed our vision flawlessly, and we'll be leaving detailed reviews on their individual pages.

Cake Castle Bakery We upgraded the design on the cake to include swirls in multiple colors for a 2 layer 8 inch and 10 inch cake this was ~$185.

Nameless Faceless Entertainment Single Fixture Dance Floor Light $150

Wild Flower Design Group: We upgraded from 6-8 (can’t remember what the exact number was) bud vases to 14 for $20 per table and our sweetheart table for $25 for a total of $185 + Fees.

SWOON! We've been on the hunt for the perfect historic-style venue in NorCal and we had to check out Sterling Hotel while we were in Sacramento visiting family. The team was so helpful walking us through all of the package options and date options. We love the downtown Sac setting for wedding photos and activities, and the venue itself is so cool. We love the idea of a ceremony in the indoor parlor and then our reception in the ballroom. We're so excited!

We were on a pretty tight budget but were still able to get everything we wanted and more! I didn't think getting married at a venue like this was possible until I met with the Wedgewood Weddings team. They showed me that I could make my wedding dreams come true without spending a fortune. Since it was all-inclusive, I knew my total upfront and there were no additional fees later on. Even with a small budget, I still felt like I was getting married at a luxury venue. The venue team took care of so much and I just showed up and enjoyed the day. I am so happy I found Sterling Hotel to host my wedding!!!

We had an amazing wedding! Everyone on the team went above and beyond to make our day so beautiful and special. Taylor and Scout were super helpful throughout the whole process and day of the wedding. We used the venues florist, caterers, and DJ and we are so happy that we did.

We had such a wonderful and special experience with Wedgewood Weddings at the Sterling. The venue was perfect for our intimate small wedding(>50 guests), but could easily accommodate twice the amount of guests! The planners, vendors and coordinators we worked with were accommodating, professional and hands-on at all the times, but also left us to do the fun parts on our own with planning our perfect day. The process was so streamlined and organized, and having our own planning binder to fill in what we wanted and didn’t want made everything super easy and so much less stressful. For the money spent it’s worth it to have Wedgewood do the heavy lifting, especially if you’re like me and hate planning anything, or if you just feel completely lost or out of your element with planning a wedding in general. Extra thanks to the DJ and the bar staff who exceeded our expectations! We were super picky about our music and DJ Preston absolutely delivered! Such a great experience all-around!

Our wedding at the Sterling Hotel was absolutely perfect. The Wedgewood team did such a great job organizing everything. We used their preferred vendors and were surprised by how well they all worked together during the ceremony and reception. It made planning the wedding so easy as well.

The team at the Sterling Hotel was awesome! We had a few accommodations that they very easy worked with us on. They were attentive to our vision and easy to work with. They provide an amazing service for the value. The staff, the food, the venue, the quality of 3rd party vendors they work with are all 10/10.

The all-inclusive option is the way to go! For 200 guests, our 2nd favorite venue's bid was only $3,000 less and included almost NONE of the vendors-especially the open bar all night. The best part? You can take out ANY part of the plan that you don't want. Preston, the DJ, is super well organized and knows how to keep the party going! The florist offers an option to pick up the centerpieces and donate them to a hospice facility, which we LOVED. And the venue is gorgeous, although parking is hard to find and the street noise on the outdoor patio can be a little loud.
