Janet and her team were incredible in helping transform our vision for our wedding into reality. She is a great source of information for all aspects of wedding planning. Knowing I was in good hands, I was able to relax on my wedding day and fully enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of being a bride while Janet and her team were proactive in curating the most magical details for ceremony and reception while keeping it all running on time. We still receive compliments from friends and family to this day! I cannot thank her enough!

Janet was just what we needed for our 2022 wedding. We were planning an outdoor wedding in just 7 months, and I knew from the get go I would need a planner to help with vendors and month of wedding preparation. Janet is very professional and detail oriented. We would schedule calls and meetings often, and Janet would have everything planned to a T. She gives you a planner and has updated to-do lists each meeting. I am not detail oriented and needed reminders to get things done, and I was grateful to Janet and her team for doing that! She made me feel very special and even sent a text on our one month anniversary as a married couple. You can tell that Janet loves wedding planning and helping brides make their wedding day one of the best days. We have since used her for party planning for our annual Labor Day/Airshow party with 150+ people and she knocked that out of the park as well. Thank you to Janet and her team at Sterling Event Services for everything!!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review and for trusting Sterling Event Services with your wedding planning. When you first reached out with just 7 months to plan your outdoor wedding, I was excited to help make your vision a reality....
I always appreciate hearing that our detailed approach and organizational systems worked well for you. Not everyone is naturally detail-oriented, and that's exactly why my team and I are here - to take care of those logistics so you can enjoy the exciting parts of wedding planning.
It means the world to me that you felt special during the process and that we could not only help with your wedding but also your Labor Day party. Helping couples and families create memorable events is truly my passion.
Thank you for your continued trust and for taking the time to share your experience.
Best,
Janet
