The Heart Behind Sterling Event Services
Life’s Milestones, Beautifully Celebrated — With Heart, Detail, and Purpose
Sterling Event Services was founded on a simple belief: life is richer when we take the time to celebrate the moments that matter. For more than 30 years, I’ve had the honor of planning weddings, milestone celebrations, graduations, corporate gatherings, and intimate events that bring people together in meaningful ways.
My approach is rooted in hospitality, intention, and genuine care. I listen to your stories, your hopes, your stressors, your vision — and I translate all of it into an event that feels warm, elegant, personal, and beautifully orchestrated. Clients often tell me, “I feel so calm when I talk to you,” and that is exactly the experience I want you to have.
Behind the scenes, I’m leading the logistics, guiding the vendors, crafting the vision, and ensuring every moment flows seamlessly. But in front of your guests, it should feel effortless — as if it all “just happened.” That’s the magic of thoughtful planning.
I’ve built Sterling Event Services to be more than an event planning company. It is a place where your stories are honored, your stress is lifted, and your celebrations become unforgettable memories.
Serving Cleveland, Ohio & Beyond | Full-Service Event & Wedding PlanningMeet The Founder, Planner, and Creative Director
I started Sterling Event Services in 1995 after discovering my purpose during the Save Our Browns movement. Since then, I’ve planned everything from high-profile fundraisers and weddings to surprise opera performances at private birthday parties. Trends come and go, but celebrating people well — with heart and elegance — never goes out of style.
Clients trust me because I tell it like it is, listen with care, and make their vision feel not only possible, but even better than imagined. I bring structure, warmth, creativity, and decades of experience to every project.
And once we plan one event together — it usually doesn’t stop there. I become part of your story, and you become part of mine.
What You Can Expect from Me:
Clear guidance and honest advice
A calm, capable partner throughout the process
Personal touches that surprise and delight
Thoughtful, sophisticated design
Seamless planning so you can simply show up and celebrate
When I’m not planning, you’ll find me walking through the woods with my dogs Lucky and Mr. Teddy Wiggles, catching live music, or camping with friends. I love good stories, big laughter, and being part of life’s most beautiful chapters.
