Sterling Event Design

Carrie and Sterling Event Design took care of all my day-of decorating. She turned a rustic, renovated barn into a sparkly, intimate room that doubled as ceremony and reception space. She is very easy to work with and has lots of great ideas. I definitely recommend!

Carrie is an incredible woman, she is so helpful and full of information. She is very 'connected' in the wedding world, and she knows vendors to accommodate any budget! She is so friendly, and she will give you as much help as you need! Plus, she's just great to talk to...especially when you're stressing about tiny (or not so tiny) details for your big day! Highly recommend Sterling Event Design!

Care at Sterling Event Design offered me help when she found out I was getting married and was having trouble picking a DJ. She recommended a few to interview and gave suggestions as to what to look out for and how to choose our perfect DJ. We ended up going with one of her suggestions and were very pleased with the outcome. Any time I had a question, Care was there with helpful hints and suggestions. Planning a wedding is difficult because most likely you have never planned a wedding before and there are so many choices and options. Care is a valuable asset to anyone planning a wedding as she has tons of creative ideas, knows how to negotiate costs, and is always very responsive to calls and emails. I highly recommend Sterling Event Design to anyone planning a wedding!

There is simply not enough space to say all of the wonderful things about Care! Hands down, she and her team are the reason that my wedding went as smoothly as it did! As someone who loves DIY projects, Care was able to take all of my visions and creations and make sure that every detail was executed the way I had hoped. She was spectacular with her responsiveness, ideas, support, encouragement, and advice. I could not have asked for a better day of coordinator. She took the time to get to know my family and friends and we feel like we have adopted her into the family! Thank you so much Care for helping to make our wedding such an amazing event!

I cannot begin to say enough kind words about Sterling Event Design and Care Schmidt. Care did an amazing job handling my day of coordination. I would have been absolutely lost without her. Thank you Care!Prior to the event she sent me many emails and made sure she had all timelines, contacts and materials in place. She shared time saving templates and organization hints. She even contacted and confirmed with the vendors to make sure that she introduced herself. She sent me fabulous ideas for wedding details and made sure that I was completely at ease with the day. The day of my wedding went so smoothly thanks to Care. She handled all vendors and set up and made sure everyone was on time. When I arrived at our venue, every detail I had wanted was ready and in place. Care executed my thoughts and visions even better than I could have imagined that day. Having a day of coordinator was the greatest choice we made for our wedding. I was not bogged down with anything that day and was able to enjoy the moments. Thank you sterling Event Design for making my wedding day AMAZING! You truly are fabulous at what you do. Ashlee Caira

Carrie Schmidt of Sterling event Design is amazing! Carrie is spot on from the moment go. She is careful to listen your desires and she makes everything work within your budget. Just sitting down with Carrie, she makes your feel like an old friend. I highly recommend her and Sterling Event Design for your next event.

Carrie was a godsend! She took care of all of the little details that allowed us to enjoy the wedding and reception. She was so easy to work with and so much fun! I really don't think we could have pulled it off without her! I would most certainly recommend her for any party/wedding event!

Sterling Event is fabulous to work with. Carrie has impeccable taste, endless ideas and resources. I have hosted several fundraising events as well as a formal Holiday Dinner for Sixty people in my home all with the help of Sterling Event Planning and Design. I can't thank Carrie enough for working her magic time and time again.

Sincerely,
Karen Thompson

My experience with Sterling Event Planning and Design was in the form of a fundraiser. The owner Carrie Schmidt unselfishly donated her time, resources and funds to help the Chandler Service Club put on a lucrative fashion show to raise funds for the Chandler Community. She understood the vision for this event and stepped in to help make it a fantastic professionally coordinated evening. Because of Carries positive connections within the Chandler Community, she was able to supply or create what was needed to host a reception before the fashion show. The reception included coordinating 5 different restaurants, wine service, a silent auction and entertainment for about 300 guests. The tables and decorations where lovely and the event was very elegant. She definitely took the pressure off me to coordinate the back stage stuff because I knew she had it handled up front. After the event I couldn't say enough to my friends on what a lovely experience it was to work with Carrie and if they needed any event or wedding coordinated in the future, I would highly recommend contacting Sterling Event Planning and Design.
Sincerly,
Fashion Show Chairman

The McCullough Price House recommends Sterling Event Design! Carrie is friendly, organized and very much a wedding PRO! She is coordinating a wedding to be held at the House in March 09. We are very excited and assured that the day will be a great success with Carrie's coordination!

“I put all my trust in Carrie's design sense the morning of my wedding. What she did with some candles, stringed lights, and some gorgeous flowers was nothing short of magical. It was perfect!”

“Carrie has one of the most creative minds I have ever come across in this business! Her attention to detail has made any event she has worked exceptional and her work ethic is second to none. Working with Carrie is one of the best choices that anyone could make if they want a truly memorable event!”

“I did not realize that I had not ordered enough graduation announcements for my daughter. I needed something fast to go out to the remaining family and friends. I was referred from a friend that used “Sterling Event Design”. I got in touch with Carrie Schmidt who emailed me ideas that same day that I spoke with her. I picked the one that I thought was adorable. The next day she told me that I could pick them up. I was so excited! The announcements were professional and looked wonderful. I will refer my friends and family. I know my next party I am going to call Carrie again to get invitations done.
Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sterling Event Design is GREAT!!”

Carrie,
I wanted to tell you thank you for all of your help thus far on planning our wedding. You have really helped us in every way from location, decor, and even in picking my wedding dress! We would still be at square one if it weren't for you, and you have done a wonderful job answering all of my questions, responding promptly to my calls and emails, and telling me what to expect with each step of this process. You have also given us some beautiful ideas that have helped to create a unique wedding that is truly our own.

From past experiences with Carrie and having known her and known of her for a long time, I know that she is hard working, creative, and very talented in what she does.

Carrie at Sterling Event Planning and Design is one of the best in the biz! When a bride mentions Carrie is her planner, we always know the event will go smoothly and that only the best of the best vendors will be selected. We can't work with her enough!!

I am very impressed with Sterling Event Design and am honored to endorse them.Sincerely yours,Melanie RothCalligraphy by Melanie
