Sterlingeventservices.com I have planned, coordinated, and managed over 150 weddings and over 200 social and corporate events, the majority of which took place in and around the Cleveland area. My extensive industry expertise and connections in Cleveland and northeast Ohio will gain you access to the top caterers, venues, floral designers, graphic artists, and any top vendor the area has to offer. While I get the job done, and make sure that my clients have everything they want and need, I always try to throw in a good laugh to keep the mood light. It's my job to take on the stress of planning, so you don't have to. My services are not merely a checklist. What I provide is custom and uniquely personalized to you and creating the event of your dreams.

There's a certain kind of couple who walks into Hillbrook and just… exhales.
It doesn't feel like renting a room. It feels private and personal — the sort of place that makes you stand a little taller. That feeling cannot be manufactured, and it's why Hillbrook can work beautifully for weddings, showers, and intimate dinner parties when the space and guest count are well matched.
A few things I would ask on the tour: whether bedroom access is included for getting ready, whether the library may be used for portraits, and what the current indoor ceremony option looks like at your guest count.

Cru's gardens become especially beautiful in autumn. 🍂 The French parterre gardens trade summer florals for rich, golden foliage — the kind of backdrop that needs very little embellishment. After 700+ celebrations, I can tell you: this is the good stuff. Save this for your fall mood board.

A French château right here in Chagrin Valley. 🍂

Cru Uncorked already has so much atmosphere—from its intimate dining rooms and romantic gardens to the Garden Pavilion with lounge seating and firepits.

On a crisp fall evening, this is exactly where I’d place cocktail hour: guests gathered around the fire, drinks in hand, while the golden-hour light settles over the gardens.

Courtney and Reed chose fall for a reason. 🍂✨

We had the honor of planning their beautiful wedding at Cru Uncorked — a French country château in the Chagrin Valley where romantic gardens, intimate dining rooms, exceptional food, and warm hospitality create something truly unforgettable.

From their stunning garden ceremony and breathtaking florals to espresso martinis, an intimate candlelit dinner, and conversations around the firepits — every moment felt elegant, personal, and authentically them.

Their wedding is proof that fall is a season worth waiting for. 🍁

The road tells you nothing. Then Sapphire Creek opens up.
The atmosphere is the point — you feel it before you are even inside.
The landscaping creates a beautiful natural backdrop for photographs.
A lovely fit for weddings and receptions up to approximately 200 guests — and elevated milestone celebrations.
Honest note: it is a garden-centered venue. Have a rain plan you actually love.

Sapphire Creek still gets me every time. 🌿

The gardens create a memorable arrival, the property photographs beautifully, and the food complements the setting. It’s a wonderful fit for weddings and receptions of up to approximately 200 guests—as well as an elevated milestone celebration.

My honest planner advice: because the gardens are central to the experience, make sure you have a rain plan you’re genuinely happy with.

Sapphire Creek makes a memorable impression from the moment the gardens appear.

You turn down a road that gives absolutely nothing away — and then the gardens open up. That reveal is part of what makes arriving there so memorable. The atmosphere and landscaping are in a class of their own, the property photographs beautifully, and the food is wonderful.

It’s a beautiful fit for weddings and receptions up to approximately 200 guests — and a gorgeous setting for an elevated milestone celebration.

My honest planner advice: it is a garden-centered venue, so go in with a rain plan you are truly comfortable with.

Is venue shopping taking over your Saturdays? 💻✨

Before you schedule another tour, spend a little time exploring venues virtually.

A 3D tour can help you see more than the pretty photographs. Look at how guests will move from the ceremony to cocktail hour and reception, where the restrooms and bars are located, whether the layout works for your guest count, and what the indoor weather option actually looks like.

It won’t replace an in-person visit—but it can help you avoid touring venues that were never going to fit your celebration.

My new guide shows you how to narrow your Northeast Ohio wedding venue list from home and arrive at each in-person tour with better questions.

You can also download my free 45 Questions to Ask Any Venue checklist inside the guide.

Wedding planning eats every free hour you give it, and venue shopping is one of the most time-consuming parts.

After 30+ years and 700+ celebrations, the one gift I’d hand every couple is their time back. My new guide shows you how to explore Northeast Ohio wedding venues in a fraction of the time by using 3D virtual tours to narrow your options before you ever get in the car.

You’ll also find my free 45 Questions to Ask Any Venue checklist to help you make the most of every tour.

Fresh florals, beautiful details, and a lot of charm.

This Italian-inspired celebration came together through the work of an incredible team. From the first call to the last song of the night, every vendor showed up and made the day exactly what it was meant to be.

We are so grateful for the incredible team that brought this vision to life. 🤍

Sterling Event Services has been coordinating events like this across the Cleveland area for over 30 years. What you are seeing in these slides is not a highlight reel. It is the full day, every piece of it, handled with intention so the couple could be completely present for every moment.

If you have ever wondered what it looks like when the details are truly taken care of, slide through this one.

DM us. We would love to hear about your day.
