    Incredible!

    The Sterling team was amazing! I am so thankful that we chose them for our wedding. Emily was wonderful to work with and made the whole process seamless. Can't recommend them enough - and the Italian food was DELICIOUS!

    Amazing & attentive

    Our experience with Sterling was amazing. Everyone was great. Lauren was who we dealt with majority of the time and she went above and beyond. We could not have asked for someone better.

    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!

    Dream Catering Team

    We recently had Sterling cater our wedding and I must say, they were exceptional. From the delicious hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour to the flavorful dishes during the reception dinner, everything was perfect. Drinks were seamlessly flowing all evening. The staff was attentive and professional, ensuring that everyone had a great time, even when drinks where spilled on the dance floor! Shout out to Emily who was our point of contact and made our dreams come true.

    Highly recommend!

    I HIGHLY recommend Sterling Events to anyone looking for a catering service. Our coordinator, Lauren, was so responsive throughout the whole year we planned our wedding and was so flexible with all the changes we had to make. She is also so organized and always made sure we were on the same page. Their catering team, including their bartenders, did a wonderful job during our cocktail hour and reception. Their food was delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests on the quality and the taste of the food that Sterling served. They catered to our guest count of 200+ seamlessly.

    January 2021 Wedding

    Sterling Events provided excellent food at reasonable price during this covid season. The staff was friendly and very helpful in setting up and breakdown the venue. They helped setup our tables and decor, which made the wedding more enjoyable and stress free for this family affair. Lauren was easy to communicate with, offered selections and options when requested, provided excellent customer service! If we had to chose again for another event, we will go with Sterling Events!

    Sterling Events Austin's reply:

    We are so honored that you chose us to be a part of your daughter's big day. You were all such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the review!

    AMAZING!! Food, alcohol, service, wedding coordinator, everything!

    I would 150% recommend Sterling Events for food/alcohol AND most definitely their wedding coordinator add on service. I had Emily and she is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. My wedding day would not have even come close to as smooth, fun, and stress-free without Emily. The food (shout out to Chef Paul) was delicious, and all of the staff with Sterling was friendly, organized, and professional (shout out to Maria!!) Amazing experience all around and zero complaints!!!

    We love Sterling & we love Emily !!!

    We absolutely loved working with the Sterling team - the initial food tasting is such a great way to get to know the team and taste a wide range of appetizers & entrees (plus you have the option of champagne with your tasting!). We evaluated a handful of different caterers, and we felt Sterling was the best quality for the price. We also loved how amenable the chef was to recipe suggestions (they offered to make the salmon exactly how we do at home, using our favorite marinade); although we didn't take them up on that offer, they seemed more than happy to accomodate. The options for guests with dietary restrictions were a hit as well, so we know everyone left that wedding feeling happy and full!! We opted for plated dinner, and the staff were wonderful. Everyone was professional, timely with the food, and had everything cleaned up in a jiffy. We would definitely recommend working with the Sterling team!! Especially Emily Vidal :)

    Emily is the Wedding Coordinator you need; she is the exact right person to get the job done, and we couldn't be happier that we were able to work with her!! I truly cannot say enough good things about Emily - she was organized, efficient, knowledgeable, so kind, and it really felt like she was excited for us and our big day. We didn't hire a Wedding Planner so we had a LOT of questions, and even though Emily was our day-of Coordinator, she really helped us work through the entire process. From the last-minute emails and texts with our frantic questions, to making sure our bags were packed in the getaway car, Emily made sure we didn't have to worry about anything on our Wedding Day. There was never a point during the wedding where I was stressed about details, because I knew Emily had everything under control, and that's really all you can ask for!! Even our wedding party was impressed with Emily & her team; everyone was kind and supportive, and I know they would go out of their way to make sure the day was perfect!

    Best catering service you could ever find!

    Selecting Sterling as our wedding caterer was one of the best decisions we have ever made.
    Emily and the entire Sterling team were on top of it all; They gave us the perfect setup, quick and seamless transitions between the areas, and absolutely AMAZING food & service.
    They were also very flexible on the bar options. All we wanted to serve were cocktails, and they were one of the few caterers who would do this for us. And the bartender did a fantastic job! There was never a line at the bar, and the drinks were perfect!
    We are grateful to the team and their great level of communication, professionalism, and service.

    Emily @ Sterling Events

    We met the Sterling staff at an open house event at Villa Antonia. The food we sampled was delicious and we loved the service packages they offered. From day 1 Emily was such a pleasure to work with and made everything so seamless. The coordination and planning was great and our guests still haven’t stopped raving about the food. It was so nice having linens and set up/break down included. I didn’t have to worry about a thing!

    Thank you for your wonderful review, Alyssa! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and your wedding was beautiful!

    Best Food and Best Service

    We used Sterling Events to cater our wedding and for day-of-coordination and we couldn’t be happier! We served the tacos at our wedding and they were truly some of the best we have had! Our guests told us the food was the tastiest wedding food they have had and that the service at the bar was super quick and efficient. Sterling Events was super responsive and very easy to work with. Lauren and Emily did fantastic at making sure the event ran smoothly. We HIGHLY recommend Sterling Events for any event you are throwing!!

    The best we could have asked for!!

    Sterling Events was the best experience when it came to our wedding, hands down. Whenever we asked for anything, they found an answer and met and exceeded our expectations! Emily was amazing and was extremely responsive throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend! Also the food was AMAZING! Our guests were all extremely happy with the food.

    Over the top service and professionalism!

    They stepped in when the previous caterer dropped out within a month of the wedding. They handled every detail with perfection. I can't say enough nice things about the planning staff and the on site team ... all terrific. Mr. Sterling, too! The food was wonderful. It's impossible to rate them too high or to recommend them highly enough.

    Amazing Service from Start to Finish!

    We used Sterling Events bar service for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Lauren was so responsive and answered every single question I had, regardless of how many I asked. She went back and forth with me through the quoting process to make sure I had pricing for exactly what I needed and she never once made me feel like I was wasting her time or asking too much. She was probably one of the easiest vendor contacts to work with, to be honest. She was so professional but kind and it just made getting the bar service booked so easy. The staff that showed up the day of to serve the bar were AMAZING! They were all so kind, fun and lively for the guest. They were all so professional and courteous and the whole night they handled our guest count of 200 so well. They made everything an absolute breeze and I didn't have to worry about a thing (except we provided our own alcohol - but that was easy). I would not hesitate to recommend Sterling Events for any type of event you're having. You will not be disappointed with the staff, the service or the hospitality. They are amazing and I will recommend anyone I know to use them for event staffing, bar or food service. They were perfection!

    Absolutely Amazing Service!

    As a wedding planner in the area, I am always looking for wonderful caterers to recommend to couples. I had the opportunity to work with Sterling Events in early October 2021 and they were an absolute dream! Emily the manager with Sterling was organized and professional. She did everything to ensure her team was successful the moment they arrived day-of. Event captain Ray and his staff (both front of house and back of house) were also such a pleasure to work with. They communicated the entire evening, jumped in on any last minute tasks, and took such good care of the guests and vendors which always makes my job easier. The food was also wonderful and the couple was very happy at the end of the evening. Thank you Sterling Events team. I will be reaching out again in the future!

    Sterling Events Austin's reply:

    Hey Kathryn,
    Thank you taking the time to leave us a great review. Ray is always eager to please. Emily enjoyed working with you and we hope we can collaborate on another event with you soon!

    Sterling events was amazing!

    We used STERLING events for our son's wedding and the work and service they did was simply outstanding. Food quality was amazing, the staff was friendly, professional and went above and beyond to meet and exceed all our expectations.. From preparation before the event, to service and support during the wedding to the post wedding party and clean up, we can not recommend them high enough. Definitely 5 star food, service and support, and we will use them again if we ever have occasion to do so.

    Sterling Events Austin's reply:

    Hi Deana,
    Thank you so much for the excellent review. Your family was a dream to work with and we hope to be able to cater for you again. Your vendor team was the best!

    Absolutely the BEST

    Sterling Events, and our coordinator Emily, were absolutely phenomenal!! I honestly give them all the credit for our wedding being so amazing. We hired them for: food, bartending, and day of event coordination. The food was absolutely delicious and we continue to get compliments a month later. They were very accommodating with my specific custom cocktail recipes (down to the brand of ingredients!) and overall the cost of providing open bar to our guests was incredibly affordable!!

    Emily, our day of coordinator, gets her own section because wow, she was the best. We got married in Austin but live in Seattle and could not have planned the wedding, from afar, without her. She was in touch with us from day one, helped us arrange a tasting when we were in Austin for a quick planning trip, and she put us at ease during the wedding weekend. All we had to do was enjoy the day. Emily is so wonderful, and my husband and I could not be more grateful for her help!

    Hi Lauren,
    You are so kind to leave an excellent review! We enjoyed being a part of your big day. And I know Emily loved working with you.

    My perfect wedding day!

    Sterling Events and my planner, Emily, helped make my special day so memorable! Emily was a God-send and I don't know if I could have made it through the planning process without her. Sterling served great food and my guests were all very complimentary. Thank you for everything.
