"The night of all nights….spectacular! It was privilege to join with you to plan our grand opening of the Seton Hill University Performing Arts Center. Every detail so carefully crafted–the flowers and plants, the decorations and food, invitations and addresses. You even built a bar!

On behalf of Seton Hill University, our students, faculty, staff and the entire community of Greensburg, I thank you for devoting your time and talents to planning the very grandest of openings and for introducing our New Performing Arts Center in such style."

"Having never coordinated a Gala before, we were worried about pulling off an event as important as our 25th Anniversary without outside help. Evelyn and Heidi turned a complicated and overwhelming experience into a fun and stress-free endeavor. Their sense of space, cost-cutting ideas and unique creativity wowed everyone who attended!"

"Sterling Events helped Carnegie Mellon University organize and host a prestigious international management conference in Pittsburgh in 2010.  The conference was a huge success, which would not have been possible without the expertise, guidance, and assistance we received from Sterling Events.

Evelyn Castillo's knowledge of Pittsburgh venues and entertainment options, along with her very thorough and attentive event planning skills, helped make our job as organizers easy and yielded an entertaining and well-organized event.  Several attendees mentioned to us how much they enjoyed the conference.  We recommend Sterling Events highly, and believe that hiring them was one of the best decisions we made in organizing the conference."

"The Neighborhood Academy has had the pleasure of working with Evelyn Castillo both as a volunteer and as a consultant.  She is energetic, skilled, fun to work with, and professional.  She takes the worry out of event-planning and does much of the heavy-lifting, allowing The Neighborhood Academy to continue to focus on our mission, not the event.  Most importantly, the events were a huge success."

"Sterling Events did such a wonderful job with our silent auction for our past two annual corporate roasts. They assisted with every aspect of our auction including soliciting items and clean up after the event. Evelyn and Heidi have amazingly imaginative ideas and are highly organized. They group and present the items professionally making the auction display beautiful and eye-catching. The auctions Evelyn and Heidi coordinated for us generated record breaking revenue. I would highly recommend Sterling Events for your special event planning."
