Sterling Wedding Events was one of the very best decisions we made when planning our daughter’s wedding. Marline was absolutely spectacular from start to finish. She is incredibly detail-oriented, an excellent communicator, and an incredibly talented designer.
What impressed us most was her ability to help us make the most of every dollar while keeping us focused, organized, and on task, which is no small feat when planning a wedding! She made the entire process easier, more manageable, and far more enjoyable for us.
We would highly recommend Marline and Sterling Wedding Events to anyone planning a wedding. In fact, we were so impressed with her that we plan to use her services again when it’s time to plan our youngest daughter’s wedding!

It's difficult to know where to begin because Marline did so much for our daughter's wedding over the past year. Somehow she expertly combines seeing the big picture along with giving the proper attention to details. She is organized, timely in response, creative, wise in timing, thoughtful in communication and a visionary! I cannot count the number of times we said throughout the year leading up to the wedding "Thank God for Marline!" She is professional, kind, warm, friendly and genuinely cares about her clients. She is wise and knowledgeable about every step of the planning process because she clearly loves what she does, has been doing this for a very long time, and has built a reputation with a plethora of vendors who she trusts, and who trust her. We will definitely be hiring her again for future events. It was an absolute joy and pleasure working with her.

Sterling Wedding Events & Design was the best decision we made for our daughter's wedding. My daughter knew she wanted a fun and exciting backyard wedding. However, we had no real ...
clue how to go about planning and bringing her vision to life. We met with Marline for our initial consultation and within 15 minutes, Marline had a vision board and completely created our daughter's dream wedding. She guided us through every step, recommended the top vendors, coordinated, and implemented the most flawless day. Having a wedding at home rather than a venue should feel harder. With Marline and her team by our side it was so easy and so much fun. I had countless people tell me it was the best run wedding they've ever attended. We will not ever be able to thank Marline and her entire team for all they did to make my daughter and son-in-laws wedding dreams come true! I highly recommend choosing Sterling to plan and coordinate your day! It will be the best money you spend for your memorable and amazing wedding day!! They are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!! We love them and are sad our time with them has wrapped up.

Marline is extremely knowledgable about the details with event planning. She is very detailed oriented. Marline’s years of expertise is demonstrated by how beautifully she organized and planned my son’s rehearsal dinner and his and his wife’s wedding day.
Moreover, she and her team are kind and thoughtful. I truly loved working with Marline and her team. I highly recommend Sterling Wedding Events Design. They will execute the perfect event for you!

I booked Sterling Weddings Events & Design over a year before my wedding day. From the first to the last day and beyond, Marline J was professional and attentive. It was as if she ...
was in my head. No matter how many emails, texts, or phone calls, she was just as pleasant and patient as if she was hearing from me the first time. The details and execution are top notch! After my wedding, my guests kept complimenting her excellent service. I can’t thank Marline and her team enough for making my day feel like the only one even though it wasn’t.

We hired Sterling Weddings for our daughter's wedding. They did a wonderful job and when I say Sterling Weddings I actually mean Marline! Marline was there for us day one which ...
was a little over a year out and didn't stop until the night ended. She did a wonderful job, paying attention to every detail and listened to exactly what my daughter wanted. I also found her pulling up my strapless dress every so often and I'm pretty sure that wasn't in her job description.
Our daughter had the wedding of her dreams and it was all thanks to Marline! She is an expert in the field of wedding planning. I would highly recommend Sterling Weddings, ask for Marline! My photo's were not loading, but trust me, they are beautiful

Marline was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she completely understood the vision, vibe, and feeling we wanted our day to have, and somehow...
brought it to life even better than we imagined.
Every vendor she recommended was incredible, and it was obvious she has built relationships with people she genuinely trusts. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment without a single worry. We never felt stressed because we knew Marline had everything under control.
She is organized, thoughtful, creative, and an absolute joy to work with. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more because of her. We truly can’t recommend Marline highly enough—she is simply the best!

and who helped us understand what we actually wanted and what's possible. There is nobody better in the business in my opinion, which is why we have used them for not one, but TWO weddings now (my wife's sister as well)! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

trated professionalism, organization, and a calming presence that made the entire wedding day run flawlessly. I observed that she kept every vendor on schedule, gently guided the families and wedding party, and made sure they never had to worry about a single detail.
Her communication skills were excellent. She was clear and reassuring, and she seemed to anticipate everyone’s needs. I could tell that everyone was able to fully enjoy the wedding day because she handled everything behind the scenes with such grace and precision. As a wedding Officiant, I am incredibly appreciative of her hard work, kindness, and dedication. She made my job so much easier. If you’re looking for a coordinator who truly goes above and beyond, look no further.”

Marline is the BEST! She cared for us so personally beyond any expectations we could have had. She was always available and would answer any questions we had promptly. Marline was ...
always on top of the ball and was very communicative to our other vendors.
Due to unexpected weather, we had to change the entire lay out of our day, but no need to fear because Marline had not one, but two back up plans. When we decided we needed a stage 24 hours before the wedding, Marline had the contacts and coordinated everything for us.
The day of ran so smoothly, our friends and family were so impressed with how Marline, and her assistants Ana and Trislyn were conducting the day. They set up anything we brought in, and clean up was so organized.

Sterling Weddings, Events, and Design with above and beyond to help us curate the wedding of our DREAMS. We planned our wedding over the course of 2 1/2 years and I am so grateful ...
for the professionalism and advice from Marline and team! There were so many areas in which I was not able to put my concept into words, but she was able to see my vision as clear as day and make it come true. My husband and I also appreciate her help in the logistics of keeping family updated as to what was going on, and when they were needed to step in. She first hand helped me as a bride, calm, my nerves, and my anxiety by putting my trust in her that she had us ! Wow, we do not plan on hosting another wedding, we do plan on using Sterling for other events and projects we have coming down the pike. Sterling, thank you for all that you did and for loving with us OUT LOUD!

Working with Marline under Sterling Wedding Events & Design made the impossible, possible.
My (now wife) and I were under a time crunch, with less than two weeks between finishing...
college and having our wedding we needed a master of the wedding planning craft, and we found one here.
I am beyond grateful, Marline helped keep my wife and I on task without stressing us out. We had clearly communicated responsibilities and a timeline to complete them.
My wife was brought to tears of joy and happiness several times because Marline heard her, listened to her desires, and walked hand in hand with us in creating the wedding we dreamed of having. (Actually it was better in reality)
I can't recommend Sterling and Marline enough, go ahead and get in touch, you won't regret doing so.

The day of the wedding was the most exciting for me, I didn’t have to worry about anything. I just worried about the pictures and was guided the whole time. Our families were so excited when they arrived and saw how beautiful and well organized everything was. We couldn’t stop talking the next day about how well managed and easy the transition were during the ceremony and the reception. This is exactly how I dreamed everything would go and I would not hesitate to book her!
