We used Sterling Events Hospitality for our wedding and their food and service were phenomenal! Our wedding was in the fall of 2023 and our friends and family still mention how tasty the food was! Emily was a joy to work with as well as everyone else we interacted with. We decided to go with lasagna and it was a MAJOR hit for us and the guest. Cannot recommend working with Sterling Events enough.

Sterling Events Hospitality consistently delivers outstanding bar and catering service, and they set the standard for full-service hospitality in Austin. I have worked with them—and even for them—for many years, and that depth of experience only reinforces my confidence in their team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and deep understanding of a wide range of event types are unmatched.
With over 25 years in business, Sterling’s longevity in Austin’s highly competitive event market speaks volumes. While many companies have come and gone, Sterling Events Hospitality continues to thrive because of their unwavering standards, operational excellence, and genuine commitment to their clients. I will continue to do business with them for years to come and recommend them without hesitation.

Sterling Events made our Watkins Insurance Group 2025 Christmas Party at the Bob Bullock State History Museum an absolute success! From our very first interaction to the night of the event, their team was exceptional. Emily was incredibly helpful, kind, and professional throughout the planning process, and the onsite staff mirrored that same level of care and professionalism. We truly could not have done it without them. Watkins Insurance Group will definitely partner with Sterling Events again in the future

From the very first interaction, working with Franki and the Sterling Events team was an absolute pleasure. Franki's responsiveness, professionalism, and attention to detail set the tone for the entire experience. We were immediately impressed with how she took the time to truly understand our vision for our wedding dinner and offered her expert guidance every step of the way.
One of the highlights of the process was our tasting. It was by far the best we had attended—Franki went above and beyond to create a truly immersive experience. Not only was the food outstanding, but the table was beautifully set with chargers, plates, stemware, and flatware, which gave us a real sense of how our wedding dinner would look. Franki also took the time to show us various flatware options, ensuring everything was exactly to our taste. As for the food itself, it was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was a perfect balance of flavor, highlighting the core ingredients with just the right touch of seasoning. It was clear that Sterling Events uses only the highest quality ingredients and prepares them with exceptional care.
Beyond the culinary excellence, Franki was a true partner in designing the overall event experience. She offered invaluable advice when it came to table layout, suggesting ways to make the space flow and feel cohesive. She even helped us select the right linens and work with the rental company to coordinate the tent with lighting, making sure everything came together seamlessly. We felt so supported and confident throughout the entire process.
On the day of the event, the catering staff was simply fabulous. They were professional yet approachable, making sure everything went smoothly without being intrusive. They were incredibly attentive to our guests' needs, ensuring everyone had a great experience. We couldn't have asked for a more polished team.
Thanks to Sterling Events, our wedding dinner was everything we hoped for and more. Their exceptional service, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence helped make our special day truly magical. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone hosting an event and will absolutely be using them again in the future. Thank you, Franki and team, for making our wedding dinner unforgettable!

Charlotte Glover
We had our wedding catered by Sterling Events for both food and bar, and we were absolutely blown away by the quality and presentation of everything. From the very beginning, working with Emily to coordinate our menu and bar details was such a pleasure. She was professional, attentive, and made the entire planning process seamless.
On our wedding day, the Sterling Events staff went above and beyond. They made sure appetizers were passed around to every table, drinks were prepared quickly and efficiently, and every guest felt well taken care of. They also went the extra mile with every detail - setting up the linens, folding and placing all the napkins perfectly on the tables, and even displaying a stunning champagne tower. Their attention to detail and level of service allowed us and our guests to truly relax and enjoy the celebration.
The food itself was incredible and the drinks were perfectly mixed and served throughout the night. We cannot recommend Sterling Events enough. From Emily’s expert guidance to the professionalism of their staff, they made our wedding day feel effortless, elegant, and unforgettable.

We used Sterling Events Hospitality for our wedding back in September, and they truly went beyond our expectations in every way. From start to finish, their team was incredibly professional, attentive, and easy to work with. One of the biggest concerns we had was accommodating our many guests with celiac disease, and Sterling Events handled this with the utmost care and expertise. They provided delicious, safe, gluten-free options that impressed not only our celiac guests but everyone else as well. Their attention to detail, flexibility, and genuine care for our guests made the dining experience seamless and worry-free. The quality of the food was outstanding, and the presentation was beautiful.
A special shoutout to Emily, who was absolutely the best throughout the entire process—her warmth, professionalism, and dedication made a huge difference and really put us at ease. We’re so grateful to Sterling Events Hospitality, and especially Emily, for making our special day even more memorable. We highly recommend them!
Ryan Oliason
We’re so grateful to Sterling for playing such an important role in our wedding day. The food and service were fantastic — our guests are still raving about the tiramisu and bread pudding! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented.
From the start, the team was warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. The chef even adjusted a recipe based on our request, which made the meal feel even more personal. One especially thoughtful touch was the plate of cocktail bites and drinks set aside for us after the ceremony — it meant so much to enjoy what we’d picked out and take a quiet moment before the reception.
Sterling made everything feel seamless and special. We’re so thankful for their talent and care in helping create a day we’ll always remember.

Lauren was extremely helpful with planning out our meals, drink package, and overall dining and catering experience. She was very knowledgeable with the options that were presented to us, and accommodating to any request we had. The waiting staff and bartenders were also amazing during the wedding and never skipped a beat to help out with anything needed from the guests.
They killed it with food and alcohol at our wedding. We had people with dietary restrictions and they even customized their meals for them. The food was delicious and the alcohol served did the job. Highly recommend using them for your catering services for future events like weddings.
Frances Venditte
We had such a good experience working with Lauren and Sterling Events! We signed an all inclusive contract with our venue and had two options for catering, but the venue owner heavily encouraged us to go with Sterling and I am so glad they did. They provided the meal and our bar service and I’m pleased with the way it all turned out! The appetizers passed during cocktail hour were definitely our favorite part (the chicken and waffles were a big hit with our guests too!) The meal was definitely classic wedding food, but superior to other meals I’ve had at weddings! The staff working the night were some of the nicest people too!! Everyone was smiling and seemed happy - which is not something I’ve experienced at a wedding before. Overall, such a good experience and really helped to elevate our night. Thank you so much!!

Highly recommend.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Emily and Sterling Events for our wedding day. We planned our wedding from afar and all of Emily’s vendor recommendations were better than I could’ve imagined. Fast forward to wedding day and Emily and her assistant Carolina kept us on track and neither us nor our guests were left wondering where to be next. Sterling provided great food for our guests and even accommodated specific dietary requests. I would recommend Emily and Sterling to anyone!
