WENT ABOVE & BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS!

There was a lot riding on this event, with 800 people attending including our worldwide CEO and other key executives, along with sales people from over 70 countries around the world. You and your team did an outstanding job and continually went above and beyond our highest expectations. Even with changes, additional requests and weather issues to deal with, you made it all happen flawlessly, no matter what. We were certainly in the best of hands, and look forward to working with you on future events.

~ V.P. Brand Marketing, Husqvarna AB

MIRACLE WORKERS!

You are fantastic and a miracle worker!! I still can’t believe you pulled all of this off in less than a day. Our attendees were happy to have someone at the airport and they commented on how professional and pleasant everyone was when they were met at the airport and hotel.

~ Event Manager, GlaxoSmithKline

GREAT SUCCESS! TRULY BEAUTIFUL!

Thank you for making our reception a great success! We received many wonderful comments on the party decor you provided for our special reception. The room was truly beautiful and set the atmosphere we desired for the evening.

~ Speaker of the House, South Carolina House of Representatives

EYE FOR DETAIL!

Your professional, efficient and friendly manner is so appreciated, as well as your creativity and eye for detail. And your staff is great as always! Casino Night was a huge success – fun for all! And transfers went very smoothly. We all look forward to the opportunity of working with you again!

~ Associate Regional Vice President, Helms Briscoe

EVERYTHING WAS COVERED & YOU ANTICIPATED THINGS I FORGOT!

I don’t know where to really start, other than to say you and the Sterling Events Team are unbelievable!! This was my 6th Annual Meeting with NRA and I mean it when I say, this was my most enjoyable program yet and it is because of you. Everything was covered, there were no questions, you anticipated things I forgot, you knew our clientele, you knew our programs, everything was on-time (always early), your staff was professional – it was just unbelievable and I cannot thank you enough.

~ Advancement Events Manager, National Rifle Association

A SCREAMING SUCCESS!

It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway – the party was a SCREAMING success! It was all due to you. Thank you, and looking forward to our next event.

~ CEO & President, GT Solar International

CELEBRITY GUEST, A SUCCESS!

If it were not for the Sterling staff and the personal attention they gave to our celebrity guest, this event would not have been as successful as it was.

~ Marketing & Merchandising Manager, Electrolux

BEST IN THE INDUSTRY!

I just wanted to thank the Team Sterling for everything they do. You guys are the best in the industry and I really appreciate everything you do.

~ Sales Manager, Electrolux

TRULY STERLING SERVICE!

The word “Sterling” describes, but does not do justice to the level of service that the team provides to me, my company and our entire event.

~ Director of Sales, Electrolux

FLAWLESS PLANNING AND EXCELLENT ONSITE MANAGEMENT!

We recently held our North American Business Meeting at Wild Dunes Resort in Charleston, SC with 175 attendees from 5 countries. The attention to detail throughout the process and final execution was incredible. I will certainly be using Sterling’s services with their flawless planning & excellent on site management for all of my upcoming events.

~ Senior Vice President-Sales, Xerium North American

VISION, ENERGY, COMMUNICATION, CONFIDENT EXECUTION!

Partnering with a destination management company such as Sterling is crucial to the success of our event. The Sterling staff managed all of our VIP airport transportation, offsite event management, catering, entertainment and the Styx band rider. Their energy, communication and calm demeanor gave me a sense of confidence in their ability to deliver what was proposed. Their vision, creativity and execution provided for an event that we will not soon forget. From the initial site visit and event proposal, to the execution of each day of the events, it was a pleasure working the Sterling staff. Should we ever find ourselves in North Carolina again, I would not hesitate to work with them once again.

~ Director of Events and Creative Services, Navarre Corporate

ALWAYS EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS!

Sterling always exceeds my expectations year-after-year with their very talented and creative design team. Each year we give them a theme (often a challenging one) and they run with it, always impressing us and going above and beyond to really make it perfect! Sterling is an extension of our team and I cannot imagine pulling off a National Conference without them on my side. The level of confidence I have in them cannot be matched.

~ Senior Event Specialist, SYNNEX Corporation

A COMPANY THAT “GETS IT”!

As an experienced meeting planner who has worked on many sides of the industry, I tend to do things all on my end and was hesitant to pull in someone to help me. However after meeting with you and discussing our requirements, I knew you were the partner for me. I needed someone who would allow me to be as involved as I wanted to be, make recommendations on vendors, and feel like I played a major part in the planning and you did just that. You saw my vision and worked closely with me to find the right mix of vendors and activities, and then did all the hard legwork required to pull off the entire series of challenging events. You truly have a passion for what you do and it showed in all the work you did on this project. I fully recommend you and your team to anyone who may be looking for a company that “gets it” and will create a memorable, unique experience for all attendees.

~ Senior Director, Conference Services, Premier Inc.

A JOY TO WORK WITH!

Helen Apple , Kristen Prestwood, & Sterling Events Team… what a joy you are to work with! BEAUTIFUL work with the draping and lighting at The Point for Erin & Matt’s wedding.

~ Owner/Event Designer, Signature Event Studio

EXTRAORDINARY ATTENTION TO DETAIL!

When I began to plan for (our) conference in California this year, I felt like pulling the event off in a way that would meet everyone’s high expectation would be a daunting task. But from our first discussions, I immediately felt more confident that this event would be a success as you and your team’s professionalism and attention to detail were extraordinary. At the event itself, everything ran so smoothly that I was actually able to enjoy it and interact with our sales force and representatives, rather than worrying about all the logistics. Of course, anyone might be able to organize a great event with unlimited resources. But your unique ability to deliver just what we needed within our budget was exceptional. You thought of absolutely everything that was critical to delivering a successful program and everyone at Universal Electric couldn’t be happier with how the event was received. Please extend our thanks and gratitude to your entire team. We look forward to working with you again on our next event.

~Marketing Coordinator/Event Manager, Universal Electric

WHAT A NIGHT!

What a night! You over-delivered on your promises. Your entire group was just FANTASTIC. I can not thank you enough. From having Amy guide us off the bus in the dark, to the tour of the historic mansion, to the unbelievable entertainment with the “Crab Lady” and the food…. A “low country” experience will not be forgotten. Just a great night. Thank you!

~ Vice President, TJX Companies

PRAISING YOUR OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I cannot let my recent experience working with you pass without praising your outstanding customer service … on our annual Senior Leadership Meeting hosted in Charleston, SC. From our initial phone call to the final billing, I was so impressed with your responsiveness, meeting/activity idea generation, attention to detail and professionalism. My group can be demanding, but you accommodated every need, request, and whim with grace and efficiency. I’ve planned and worked many meetings/conferences over my career, and I can honestly say, my experience with you has been one of the best.

~ Executive Assistant to the CEO, ACH Food Companies, Inc.

MADE MY VISION A REALITY!

I can’t truly express how AWESOME our event was on last night! When I was asked to chair the Family Night event, my goal was to have guests walk away saying, “Wow that wasn’t long enough!”. Well mission accomplished! Thanks for making my vision a reality. We had activities that appealed to all age groups, the food was good and the entertainment was fun. Thanks for helping me create a super fun experience for our guests.

~ Family Night Chair, Jack & Jill Associates - Charlotte Chapter

STANDING OVATION!

Take a bow! I was hoping that our site in May would result in a strong team and it worked! Thank you for supporting one another in all the details to ensure each area of specialty was delivered in best manner! I am traveling home and my battery is low, but wanted to extend my gratitude and share this great feedback! STANDING OVATION!

~ Vice President - Meetings & Event Management, Wells Fargo

THRILLED TO HAVE FOUND YOUR TEAM!

I just can’t say enough about how extraordinary your team was from beginning to end last night. The food was incredible; my guests were so well cared for; I had an amazing time; and the entire event was easier than I could have imagined. I’m just thrilled to have found you and your team. I really love to entertain and I feel we are going to have many terrific events in our future together

Cheers!

CRUCIAL PARTNER

I have no idea how we would have pulled off Audio Advice Live without the Sterling Events team! With only 4 months of planning, they pulled off the impossible. From organizing 70+ brands and 1,000+ attendees, to providing guidance on marketing and promoting to full logistics, Sterling thought of every detail possible. We received rave reviews on the organization and hospitality from all in attendance and Sterling took ownership as if it were their own business at stake. The partnership was crucial to our success and we could not have done it without them. Looking forward to many more events planned alongside Sterling Events!

~ Director of Marketing & eCommerce, Audio Advice

NO ONE BETTER

Partnering with Sterling has been an absolute game-changer! Sterling operated beyond our expectations, from the very beginning of negotiating contracts to providing excellent onsite management. There is no one better! We truly look forward to our continued success!
