Sterling Events Austin

devours and a carving station and Sterling truly understood my vision for cocktail party-Food. 10/10 would recommend Sterling!

ions that deviate from our menu, and the staff worked with us on that. The day of coordinator provided by the venue for a small charge was excellent and easy to work with too. The food delicious. Tasting of food allowed prior to signing contract, a plus that other venues did not have. one stop shop for food and alcohol and the items you can use from the venue are nice to spruce up the setting. would definitely recommend for a couple looking for elegance and simplicity without breaking the bank.

s had was that they felt like they were being rushed or cleared out easily - they quickly cleaned up after our wedding and would put away drinks, food, etc..that people were still using (and my guests only stepped away for a few minutes to mingle with other people). I enjoyed having a wedding coordinator as it made everything easier on my wedding day. Overall, I would still recommend them for any wedding!

most importantly, the food was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this group for any bride (or groom).

then more than one vendor. Not only that but the food is fabulous! I was so lucky to have taken left overs home :) Thank you so much for making my wedding day such a memorable one!

tuff and made sure that everything was planned out ahead of time from what time to start the appetizers to making sure cake was cut and distributed to guests. The actual food was flavorful and enjoyable- we felt we had made the best decision on our caterer. I wanted a very unique reception and Shea played a huge part in helping my dream come together and my reception was 100% perfect. I highly recommend Sterling.

il was perfect. Very clear and transparent pricing as well. My wedding guests raved about the food- especially the mini-meatloaf cupcake appetizer! Highly recommend!

at that usually doesn't do seated dinners, but that didn't stop Sterling Affairs. Larry and Elena found a way to put together the most perfect evening I could have ever imagined. They worked with the musicians, florist and even went to the boat to ensure everything would work and run smoothly. My event was for my son's rehearsal dinner so I wanted it to be flawless, and I'm a pretty picky person. Larry designed an extraordinary meal, including passed appetizers with a specialty cocktail served to our guests when they boarded the boat. We had a choice of entrées and dressings for our salad and the meal ended with a gorgeous tray of mini deserts, including two types of chocolate truffles, banana pudding sliders, petite coconut/lime parfaits and tiny expresso shots with little sugared donuts. And all served at the right temperature on a boat with no kitchen!! Everyone commented on the meal and said the lamb was the best they had ever eaten and remarked on how amazing the service was throughout the evening. They even managed to figure out a way to get a television mounted on the boat so we could play a slideshow of the bride and groom throughout dinner. Amazing! And on top of all that, they lit the boat in tiny rope lights which made for a beautiful effect when the sun went down. Honestly, the whole event, from planning to execution was perfect in every way! I can't recommend them highly enough. Five stars for planning, food, service, value and fun!!!!

ring. After running across Sterling Affairs I decided to contact them and see what their food options were, prices and so forth. Shea who was the person of contact for the company was ABSOLUTELY amazing throughout it all. She answered all of my 100+ question's, she was very helpful and always stayed in contact with us. She showed us the menu and we were so happy they had tons of choices. Not to mention we decided to inquire about their bar tending services and we were so lucky. Their prices were amazing, their food the day of the wedding was AMAZING. The staff was great, very professional and helpful. The manager on duty for the catering company was there for mine and my husband's need whether it was napkins, refill on a drink she was there. The bartender on duty was such a great person very friendly and professional. He made great drinks and kept everyone in a great mood. Overall I highly recommend Sterling Affairs to anyone. They are great, PLUS my husband and I stayed under our budget. (that includes food, and bar tending)

ssle to them! Myself, my husband, his family, and my family have not stopped hearing about how absolutely fabulous all of the food was at our wedding! We had food stations so that our guests could choose exactly what they wanted to eat. Larry and Elena were a great help in determining what options to provide so that all of the wedding guests were able to choose a meal to their liking! They were nothing but professional before, during, and after our wedding! Everything was set up to perfection, the bartenders were phenomenal, and the food was exceptional! If you are looking for a caterer or event planner in the Austin area, you should definitely use Sterling Affairs!

ty included.

ve and beyond with all of our services. She was so knowledgable with our venue, she became the person we would ask questions about the venue as well. The food was so delicious as well! Everyone talked about the food being so good! They set up and tore down, and really made everything fall together for our wedding. We could not thank them enough!! HIGHLY recommend this caterer!

edding to oversee everything. I never saw her. I was told by the coordinator that she stopped by for a few minutes before the ceremony to make sure everything was set up. That was a little disappointing. Lori, the day of coordinator through Sterling, was very friendly, but didn't seem organized or to have many answers about how things would work on the day of. Also, there was supposed to be a walk through at the facility 30 days prior to the wedding with Shea and the day of coordinator. Shea showed for this, but no coordinator so I had to go over all of the logistics a second and third time. Finally, they were supposed to clean up before they left. I was told they would even gather our linens for us so we could easily grab them to return to the rental company. When we went back to the facility the next day to pick up our things, we found the place to be a mess and none of our stuff was gathered...So we cleaned up ourselves. The staff on the day of were wonderful and very attentive! Overall they were very flexible and very friendly. I would highly recommend their catering.

ry helpful throughout the entire process. We ultimately decided to have some passed hor d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, and although we were too busy taking photos to partake, we did get to try some later and they were very delicious. Then we chose the Italian buffet for the reception and all of the food was tasty. So between the great food and top-notch service, we highly recommend Sterling Affairs!

y. The food was delicious and we were able to provide a great variety. Everyone complimented on how great the food was. The only unfortunate thing was the bar service seemed a little slow, but just remember to ask about it if you have a lot of guests who drink.

ork with and always prompt with her responses and the whole staff is extremely friendly. I highly recommend working with Sterling Affairs for your next big event! You won't regret it, I promise!!

quality and presentation. Lilly was our catering manager and she was fantastic. I didn't have to deal with her much because we used Clink as our wedding planners but the interaction I was able to have with her was super cooperative, she was there for every question I had and was able to accommodate every request, even adding a little lemon to the roasted potatoes we were having! We received a ton of compliments on the food and the beautiful presentation of it. They even accommodated my persnickety groom and made him is very own plate of his personal favorites, that no one else had. The quality matched the price and if I had it to do again, this is still the way I would go.

hey were also unresponsive at times that were crucial to planning and continually mentioned more and more restrictions as we got into the meat of the planning. On the day of the wedding, the food tasted absolutely terrible and nothing like we remembered it on the tasting. They even got one of the appetizers WRONG. I would not recommend them in the future.

b description so it meant a lot to me that she went that extra mile to help a nervous bride. :) She made sure everything from the processional to the exit ran smoothly. I never had to go to the bar because Shea was always there with a drink in hand for me! The rest of the staff members were so helpful with our special requests and were very nice to work with. And of course, the food was delicious! Everyone kept saying the italian buffet was the best food they've had at any wedding. I HIGHLY recommend using Sterling Affairs and requesting Shea as your wedding assistant. :)

t even try it all! Shea was very accommodating to us and we were able to create our own plan. We had 3 stations and they were all amazing. The BBQ was delicious, the Chicken Imperial I couldn't get enough of, and even the Pasta was something special. The night turned out so great and everyone loved the food.

n you choose Sterling gives you a pound of food for person (also awesome). Tedi even threw in an extra option (so we had 7 instead of 6) for no charge. The only minor issue we had was we were told that free of charge we would be given class with the bar, and on the day of there was plastic. I still give Sterling 5 stars though, because the drinks that went into those glasses were amazing. Overall, Tedi was great to work with and the food and drinks were wonderful. I would recommend this catering service to everyone!

lems started the day of my wedding and beyond. I learned at my wedding that the delicious, moist, flavorful pecan crusted chicken that my husband and I had at our tasting was not present and instead was a dry, tasteless breaded chicken. After our wedding, I learned from my planner that they threw away a large part of my cake without instruction to do so. And to top it all off, my sisters-in-law told me that quite a few guests did not receive cake because they did not cut a sufficient amount. I contacted Sterling to let them know of our disappointments the next week and all I got was denial, and blame put on my planner when it was not her fault. They did not take any responsibility for what happened or apologize for it. I am very disappointed with my experience with them.

f the wedding I was disappointed in the quality of the food and presentation... the food seemed like it had been cooked the day before and re-heated at the wedding. It wasn't nearly as yummy as when we did the fresh taste testing. Also, we chose what they called "fun stations"- we were under the impression that they would be more interactive stations with cooking and beef carving going on during the serving... turns out it was set up pretty much like an average buffet. I don't think the food was made poorly, it just wasn't fresh- the fried pickles were soggy for instance. Shrug

sts kept praising the food we served; they loved the Italian buffet! The presentation was perfect, too. It is worth the money to give your guests a delectable meal at your reception - ours went back for seconds and thirds! (the service was incredible too; they took very good care of the bride and groom while they were busy talking with guests and dancing!!) Highly recommend this company and Tedi to cater your wedding!

ervices, she also took the lead in coordinating the rehearsal and pictures after the ceremony. Wherever I was, whatever I needed, Shea was there without me even having to think about her! From drinks and appetizers after our ceremony, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there, and just all around being aweome. I just can't thank her enough for what a fantastic day she helped make happen! Sterling's food was amazing! We chose passed appetizers and drinks right after the ceremony, a plated dinner, champagne toast and upgraded our wines and beers. Everything was perfection! We felt there were so many choices, it was difficult to narrow all of the delicious options down to two. But we were so pleased with our choices and the way everything was done! The service staff was excellent, food was service promptly, water was refilled quickly and drinks were refreshed as needed! Thank you Sterling Affairs!! I can't imagine my day without you!!

essional, and efficient. They know their business and have thought of everything. They have their own tables and chairs and linens and china and glassware (which takes several more things off your list).

tives which was an added bonus for free. We had crab cakes and they are delicious! I highly recommend them.

Several hours before the reception, they had someone on location ready to handle anything that might come up. On top of this, though they clearly had everything under control, Sterling Affairs took last minute direction on minutia with ease, and when the reception started, everything had been taken care of without fail. After the event was over, several members of their staff stayed late to help pack up, rinse, and store our china. If we had not been paying particular attention, it would’ve been easy to forget that they were even there. Perhaps best of all, the food was terrific! More than any other piece of the reception, guests talked about how much they enjoyed their meals. It was extremely relaxing to sit back and watch people that we trusted handle our important day. Thanks to Sterling Affairs for helping our celebration to be as memorable as possible, as well as Lily, our rep. She was always an email away, with the longest time between responses was about a day. I just can't say enough good things about them!

ill get asked who my food was through and if they have a restaurant (yes, it's Mansion on Judges Hill). The only downside is that Shae was really bad about communication with not only us but also her co-workers and she was difficult to get in touch with at times. I highly highly recommend them if you want great food that others will rave about!
