I absolutely loved my wedding day at The Sterling. Michael was our wedding coordinator and he was absolutely fantastic to work with - always checking in with us during the planning process, extremely responsive, and very thorough during our planning meeting. The way he floats around the wedding venue day of is amazing - he is so efficient and it is clear that he thrives during the actual event and loves what he does. The bridal suite is perfect for getting ready, and food was absolutely amazing, and the bar and wait staff was phenomenal. If I had to do it all over again I would still choose The Sterling and definitely recommend Michael and his team.

We had our wedding here 11/25/23 and I would choose this venue over and over again! Michael and his team at The Sterling were everything we needed and looking for. From start to finish the process was made so easy. Iâve dreamed of my wedding day since I was a little girl and they delivered on every aspect and exceeded all our expectations. We are still getting compliments on the food, service and how beautiful the venue was. They were worth every penny that we spent. If you are debating between them and another venue choose The Sterling, you wonât regret it. Michael was super attentive throughout the whole night. He was always checking in on us and making sure we were having the time of our lives. We had so many people come up to us and say âwe love Michael! Heâs great!â. For so many of our guest to know our coordinators first name shows how much he paid attention to our guest.

From the very beginning of stepping foot into the Sterling, we knew instantly that the venue fulfilled our dream vision for our Wedding day! What would be the cherry on top, is the amazing people and team who we had the honor of working with. Michael, our wedding planner was an absolute pleasure to plan with and no doubt, well deserving of his most recent accomplishment of winning the Best of 716 for Event Planner award. He truly went above and beyond and made the planning process, to the day of, so very simple and stress free. Our guests were blown away and very impressed on how talented and wonderful Michael and his team were the day of our wedding. Everything was so efficient and smoothly done, that we were were able to enjoy the day and night with family and friends without any worries at all. The suites were clean to get ready in and hang out prior to the ceremony, the food and drinks were delicious and the outdoor grounds made the most perfect scenery to capture all the moments on our special day. I can not speak more highly of a venue and their team! We will cherish always, the beautiful experience that the Sterling gave us on our Wedding Day.-Love, Michael and Gianna Del Zoppo

We just had our wedding at the Sterling and nothing could have been more perfect! Highlight of this venue was our coordinator Hannah. She communicated with me frequently throughout the planning process and was always available for the million questions I had. By the end she was more of friend than a coordinator and I wish I could plan a wedding with her every year! Another highlight is that theyâre familiar with a lot of vendors and can communicate with them on your behalf. The venue is beautiful, the service was great, the food was delicious. I donât know of a single guest of mine that didnât have a great time!

We had the most incredible experience getting married at the Sterling. First of all, the venue itself is stunning and the staff, especially our wedding day coordinator, Hannah, was phenomenal. Hannah was not our original coordinator as we had a switch about a month out from our date, but Hannah handled everything with such grace and kindness as she made my wedding day visions come to life seamlessly. She made the whole process effortless for my husband and I. We intended to have our ceremony out on the island, but unfortunately it rained all day. Thankfully the Sterling had the covered patio that created the most beautiful, intimate ceremony which was the best alternate plan ever! The indoor space was incredible and the staff was very nice and efficient. The food and drinks were outstanding! Our guests could not stop raving about the food, drinks and venue itself. We opted for the white glove package and I highly recommend it. I brought all of my decor the day of our rehearsal and the Sterling staff stored it very well and executed my visions beautifully. However, the best part was as the night ended, the staff took down all of the decor and put it back in the boxes. All we had to do was take the decor out of the building, I didnât have to lift a finger! It was amazing! Overall, we had the most amazing experience working with the Sterling and had the most perfect day.

The Sterling staff are just so amazing to work with and were very quick with their response to my questions. If you are thinking of having your wedding here, do it! Make sure you upgrade to the white glove package, so that you can have Michael by your side throughout Iâm the process. He was loved by my family, friends and especially us đ he is the best of the best. We wish we could have this day all over again and multiple people asked if we could have a redo of the day so that they can enjoy the Sterling all again!

When we first visited The Sterling, we fell in love with this venue and booked our date on the spot.

We live several states away and a huge plus was how easy they made organizing everything. I can't say enough how perfect everything was on our actual day and STRESS FREE! I don't know how they could possibly make the planning process any easier or more fun - I was never a stressed out bride trying to plan my wedding.

Having our wedding at The Sterling at Arrowhead was the most memorable and beautiful place to get married at. I highly recommend a place that offers decor, stellar fine dining, professional staff, and flexibility. The price can get expensive, but arrowhead is very understanding and available to be flexible with your choices. We opted out of the bridal suites food and beverages along with late night snacks. Everyoneâs budget is different, and so is everyoneâs vision!! Itâs all about what YOU as a couple want. So make sure you know that before you start venue shopping!

We had our wedding at The Sterling in early December of 2022. Below are some pros and cons about our experience. Pros:- The venue is absolutely beautiful inside and outside. Plenty of spaces for great photo opportunities all over. - The food for our wedding was amazing. We did a buffet and so many guests and family members commented on how delicious everything was. - Communication throughout the planning process was pretty smooth. We worked with Michael and Paige for most of the planning. I never wondered what was going on or what needed to be done and everything was explained clearly. Email correspondence was very friendly and helpful. - The bridal suite is beautiful. Getting ready in it is so worth it! -The decor that the venue provides is really pretty. The centerpieces, linens, etc was perfect. Cons:- If the power goes out, the venue does not have generators, which is what happened to us. We lost power for almost two hours while getting ready. It was very stressful and disappointing. Paige our coordinator was doing everything she could to prepare for the worst (wedding in the dark) but thankfully the power came back on about an hour before our ceremony. It made for a memorable wedding morning but wasnât what I was expecting. The venue did work with us to issue refunds for that morning and they mentioned there was talk of getting generators so that wouldnât happen again. - The admin fees are charged on everything you purchase and are pricey but the venue does not hide this info and it is stated on all the paperwork you get. Overall I do not regret at all having my wedding at The Sterling. If you want a memorable venue for you and your guests I would recommend them!

The sterling is by far the most beautiful venue in WNY. A few of my favorite features are the huge, stunning bridal suite to get ready in and the outside island and patio areas. I cannot say enough about the wedding coordinator Hannah L. The morning of the wedding she greeted us all with her fun and radiating energy. Hannah was always checking in to see if there is anything we needed and made you feel like she was really there to support you at any step of the day. She treats you like you are family and will do anything she possibly can to make sure the bride is happy. Hannah jumped through hoops to make sure this wedding was perfect and it really showed. We could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator. The food= chefs kiss!!!The food was amazing!!! The hand passed apps were delicious. Caesar salads and warm rolls to start the dinner. For the plated dinner I had the rosemary chicken with sides of green beans and sweet potatoes. The whole dinner was spectacular, hats off to the chef.All around we could not have asked for a better day. The venue is beautiful, the staff is amazing, and food was a 10. Highly recommended having your wedding or event here.

The Sterling was the first venue my fiancĂ© and I visited and we knew we wanted to get married there immediately. We paid our deposit in 2021 for an October 2022 wedding. In the final mo than before the wedding there was some slowness in responses and miscommunication between me and our assigned coordinator. This didnât cause any major problems for our day, which essentially went off without a hitch but it did cause unnecessary, last minute stress.I waited a few days to email the Sterling to make sure I wasnât still fueled by post-wedding nerves, and outlined my critiques with my assigned coordinator. I tried not to be unnecessarily harsh because I have an extensive history in customer service and direct client service and know first hand that unexpected situations happen. But, I was disappointed at some aspects of service and wanted them to know.Paige had taken over as our venue coordinator last minute, so she handled my email. She and the Sterling team took the time to look into my concerns and did not respond with defensiveness. They apologized for the hiccups, actually shared an addition to their coordination process to avoid this type of situation in the future, and went above and beyond to send me and my husband a gift in response to something I jokingly mentioned a couple of times to Paige in our emails.I donât expect perfection from anyone or anything - thatâs just not realistic. However, I am very sensitive and sometimes critical of sub par customer service. Paige and the Sterling team made me feel listened to and comfortable after I essentially sent a complaint email: a lot of business and people would not or could not do that. I was going to leave a positive review no matter what because the majority of our time working with the Sterling and our original coordinator was amazing and me, my husband, and all our guests had a blast! Their response to my constructive feedback is what bumped this to a 5/5 for me.Food/Drinks: 5/5Venue Decorations: 5/5Surrounding grounds for photos/frolicking: 5/5Bride and Groom Suites: 5/5Accessibility: 5/5 (enough space for people with a wheelchair or walker to navigate, bathroom on first floor)Professionalism: 5/5

Michael is a veteran of many, many years. From what I heard, Paige is a new hire, but from the first day I met her until even afterward (I left something at venue to be picked up), she worked with me and my wife like she has been working there for dozens of years. The Sterling got a STEAL of a hire! Megan, our banquet captain made sure we were fed and we had more food and drink than we could handle! Again, they are the best and I would recommend this place 10x over!

My partner and I attended a wedding at the Sterling for our close friends and it was perfect. Our friends who were married are traveling nurses. That being said, to plan a wedding from a few states away and it turned out this perfect, I am impressed. This venue and the wedding planning staff, pay a great deal of attention to all the details. Hanna was the wedding planner and did a fantastic job. The the wedding couple and their families looked relaxed and like they were enjoying themselves. The Sterling is stunning and spacious. The outdoor space is amazing and very fun. The food was hot and delicious, especially the steak! For wedding food, this is the best we ever had. I know of multiple other couples who are planning their wedding here and they will not be disappointed. Thank you Sterling staff for making a very special day so enjoyable and flawless!

My partner and I attended a wedding at the Sterling for our close friends and it was perfect. Our friends who were married are traveling nurses. That being said, to plan a wedding from a few states away and it turned out this perfect, I am impressed. This venue and the wedding planning staff, pay a great deal of attention to all the details.

6/5 stars! The beauty of this venue speaks for itself. My wife and I had mentally decided on this venue before even touring it. The day of our wedding went perfectly smooth despite many last minute changes requested by either us or family members. We attribute the perfection of our day all to our coordinator Hannah and her team. Hannah met every challenge or question with a smile and enthusiasm, always asking what she can do for us at all times. She knew what we or any guest needed at all times before we even asked. She worked perfectly with us over the phone, answered any texts/emails promptly, working with us when we lived in an entirely different city. Hannah was always a calming presence during the biggest day of our lives when we may have been stressed about a situation. All of our guests raved about the sterling, all of the staff involved and the amazing food. My wife and I can't say enough good things about this venue but more importantly, Hannah, who made this day the best day of our lives. We wish we could relive this day all over again!

To say this venue and their employees make sure your day is good is an understatement. Every step of the way was made easy and stress free. Michael (wedding coordinator) is so beyond talented in what he does. Not only does he make the planning as easy as possible, he is thorough and organized. Michael takes the time to make sure he is personable and gets to know you. He isn't just someone who stands on the sidelines and runs the show. He jumps in where its needed and even served when hands were needed. I can't say enough good things about our experience and the guests who attended felt the same.

I had my wedding at the sterling in October 2021. For the most part, it was great, the food was really good and my day itself was perfect but I do want to warn other brides and grooms about the many issues I experienced with the service team during the months leading up to the wedding. Firstly, the staff turnover is really high. Each couple is given their own personal wedding planner assigned to their day and the first one we had was a girl named Emma. She was very cold, she never did anything âwrongâ but for the price youâre paying, youâre expecting them to go above and beyond for you, and she was less than average at best. She hardly ever answered emails or phone calls, was always so curt and cold and would make us feel like we were bothering her whenever we asked a question. My mother reached out to her about something and was told she âdoesnât speak to mothers, only the coupleâ. Additionally, during my planning there were Covid restrictions and I told her I was nervous there wouldnât be dancing allowed and I didnât want to spend so much money for a formal dinner, her response was basically âidk what to tell youâ not even really any sympathy. Just really someone who should not be in a luxury customer service type of role. We also planned our rehearsal dinner at the same venue and I was told we had to be in an out in one hour. Like one hour to rehearse, speeches, eat. For 50 people. When I was spending a ton on the wedding! I thought that was ridiculous. She acted as though she was doing us a favor by letting us have dinner there at all. So some time passes, and I reach out to Emma about something and I get response from a new planner, named Dana. Iâm told by Dana that Emma was fired. My first thought, yeah that makes sense, she wasnât great at her job. Dana was actually really good. I was pleased at the new planner. After meeting with her, weeks go by and I see someone talking on a Facebook brides group that Dana left suddenly. This is like a month before my wedding. Dana had quit. So I reach out to the sterling and Iâm like guys, whatâs going on with my wedding? Whoâs my planner? And I get a response from EMMA. They rehired the planner who had been fired for not being good at her job. At this point I reach out to the owner, mind you this is an extremely expensive venue that nickels and dimes you for everything yet I canât get Emma to answer me about things like decorations and menu etc. In total we spent over $40,000. I get a hold of the owner and I told him I was a bit dissatisfied, my words were âIâm spending over $40,000 with you guys and Iâd really like to be treated with good serviceâ he cut me off, laughed, and said âeveryone pays $40,000 for a wedding thatâs nothing specialâ Iâm sorry what? He came off so arrogant and entitled like I owed him my money. In the end, I had a beautiful wedding day and I would like to shout out the waiters and bartenders who did an exceptional job, but the issues leading up with the planners and owner definitely caused anxiety that was never necessary.

Let me start off by saying nothing is ever easy when it comes to picking the venue. We had been searching for a venue that added both pieces of us within it to create a memorable moment that weâll remember forever. Dillon loves golf and I love black and white. This place has it all and then some when it came to coordinating both of our passions within one. We are going an extremely non-traditional wedding and upon arrival speaking to Krystle, I firmly believe she was more pumped than we were for our wedding. Not only her but Michael, the coordinator and Lauren, one of their infamous vendors, weâre also so extremely and on board with our thoughts and ideas on our wedding. Not once during our tour did we feel unwelcome or judged as we had other venues We are from Syracuse and we 100% fell in love with the pictures, but upon arrival it was so much more as we filled with tears entering the parking lot. In regards to non-traditional, we mean we are not doing a dance floor nor first dance, however where creating lawn activities to keep our guest occupied and that was something that they totally down to help us out with. We are also including both of our dalmatians to be our ringbearer and flower girl and I cannot tell you the excitement in everyoneâs face and voice when they heard that we were incorporating spots in every part of our wedding including our fur babies. Our âspotsâ are so important to us and the fact that not one person questioned our dogs made us feel more committed to booking this venue. To top that off we do not have a lot of guests for our wedding and the icing on the cake is one Krystle suggested that we have our guest sit in the form of circles for our ceremony to resemble spots. That team is quick on their feet, very unique in regards to their brainstorming and they brought more ideas to the table than we had already had. We thought we were pretty unique with our non-traditional wedding but they added much more kick to it that I promise you I genuinely cannot wait to start planning with this team. If youâre even considering this place, especially if youâre from the Syracuse or Rochester area I would highly recommend going to the tour and speaking to this incredible team. We took the 2.5 hour drive and didnât regret because we landed a handful of individuals who understood and want to help aid in spotted day.

We celebrated New Year's Eve and our wedding at the Sterling on 12/31/21. After looking through the available venues in the Buffalo area it was no question that we wanted to host our wedding at the Sterling. We loved working with the team to plan every detail of our event to make sure everything represented us well. The space itself is such a a beautiful simple canvas that comes to life with even the smallest details. All of our guests had the same reaction as we did when they walked in and looked around. We loved having the option to create virtually whatever floor plan to work best with our guest list and adjust as needed to optimize the placement of our DJ with the dance floor, the gift table, family photos and so much more. If you are a creative person you can transform this space into so many different things - it was really inspiring to see their tagged photos on instagram to see what other couples did with the venue.I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the food - my jaw dropped when I saw how generous the serving size was. I've heard from so many people that brides are usually too nervous to eat the day of their wedding, let me tell you I didn't miss a meal all day and dinner was no exception. The food was absolutely delicious and what's more impressive is I didn't hear anyone say their steak was overdone or anything was cold as if it had been sitting out for a long time. We opted to do all passed appetizers rather than any of the charcuterie tables that were available as we felt it would give guests more things to try. The Swedish meatballs were a huge hit, as were the grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters, and classics like caprese skewers. Regarding pricing - there were no surprise prices. The Sterling was very upfront with us when we put in our deposit in November 2020 what the typical price increases for food and beverages is each year which really helped us plan our menus and stay in budget. I have read horror stories about charges to rent plates, silverware and then WASH those items. The fee to rent the Sterling includes SO much including the priceless expertise and assistance from the coordinator. Speaking of coordinators, Michael was there to help us at every turn with changing COVID guidelines in the county and made sure we were hosting an event that we and our guests felt comfortable celebrating in. Michael also took over the hugely important job of contacting our vendors (DJ, Florist, Cake etc) the week of our wedding to provide them with details they needed. This was a huge help and eliminated a major task from our to-do list. The rest of the staff including Natalie was instrumental in executing all of our plans day of so that we could just simply enjoy our wedding!We also had our ceremony at the Sterling - I was at first apprehensive about having it in the enclosed heated patio in the back, but I promise you when I was walking down the aisle, the last thing I was looking at was the outdoor plastic flaps that enclose the space. We were able to easily transform the space into a beautiful location for a ceremony by adding a few details to the arbor and filling it with our family and friends.Thank you to everyone at the Sterling for helping us plan a wedding and New Year's Eve party that we will remember for the rest of our lives! Advice to those planning their weddings - try to enjoy it! All the stress and time was worth seeing all of our plans and details come to life.

He was ALWAYS available for me to bother him with questions or ideas that I had, and supported us throughout our entire planning process. The night of our wedding, everything went perfectly.

Michael walked around and welcomed guests, talked to people in both of our families, handed out our light up styrofoam sticks, and helped us get the party going! He informed guests about our photo booth/guest book, made sure that we always had whatever drinks we needed, and also took care of our families as well. Michael is organized, kind, funny, understanding, and most of all, professional. I am going to miss talking to him so often, and am so sad that the big day is over. đ for any bride looking for a one-of-a-kind venue, look no further.

From the moment we took our tour and signed our contract, to the moment we said our I Doâs and partied the night away, the Sterling staff never ceased to amaze us with their responsiveness, their service and just their overall desire to make your special day their top priority. Getting married during Covid everyone assumed planning mustâve been a nightmare for us but honestly the Sterling handled Covid so well and took away any stress that couldve come from it and did everything in their power to make our wedding hopes a reality. Our planner Michael, the Walt Disney of wedding planners making our dreams come true, was nothing short of absolutely incredible, from our surprise first look with our dog, the non traditional wedding entrance, to our decor, to our very large wedding party, to all our crazy wild partying, he made sure everything went more perfect than I couldâve ever hoped for. Now letâs talk about the staff during the wedding! PHENOMENAL! From the moment we walked in the door for getting ready, till the end of the night while we packed up. Throughout the night a staff member was always coming up to me or my husband, without any request, to make sure we always had a fresh drink in our hand (I felt like a damn celebrity!). Our guests and bridal party all night continued to comment on how amazing and attentive the staff was and they were just blown away. Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, if not THEEE most special, and The Sterling takes that responsibility you put into them very seriously and goes above and beyond to make sure itâs a night you will always remember. If I had to do it all over, I would go with the sterling again no doubt about it!

I have to give two different reviews because there was the before the day of and then the day of. Just a note I was a COVID bride and when I had originally booked the venue I should have been married 12.31.20The Positive: The day off staff was simply AMAZINGGG, For the planning meeting the day before the wedding Natalie and Michael made me feel SOOO at ease. They had it under control and they made me feel like it was a piece of cake, even though I had brought so many decorations. & the day of Tamika and Michael KILLED IT, they worked their butts off to make sure everything was amazing and went off with no flaws, it was perfect and I appreciate all of the work they put in! We had a few requests, like to move a few tables for the overflowing dance floor, and they were able to put things in motion so quickly and effortlessly. Because of the staff we were able to have the most wonderful day without worrying about a thing.The Negative: The months leading up to the wedding, we had so many different wedding planners that I was stressed, with each new planner I had to re-go over each piece to make sure we were all on the same page, with some times little to no response back. Food : From what I had and the overall consensus we have heard that everyone loved the food, The mashed potatoes were great, carrots were awesome, a guest said they hate carrots but actually ate all of theirs! the Salmon and steak were prefect. Much of our guests couldn't stop raving about the passed appetizers! The only thing I am disappointed about is that we had apps passed that were supposed to be \"Bacon Sirloin Blue Cheese Skewers\" I didn't have any of these because I'm not a blue cheese fan but apparently there was no Sirloin in the skewers, so many people loved them BUT said \"wait there was supposed to be steak in them?\" We spent more money on these and I'm disappointed they weren't the same from when we had them at the tasting, what happened to the sirloin part, I'm not sure. BUT the shrimp display everyone LOVED, they were jumbo for sure! One more annoying issue was that we had been told back when we booked that we would get \"10% off reception\" for booking when it was not even build, which we thought meant 10% of the total, when we got the bill we found out it was total of the food and non-alcoholic drinks. This was extremely frustrating because no where on any piece of paper that we were given did it say this, there was no fine print or explanation at all. I would say, if you have a discount, you need to make sure you know EXACTLY what it includes. This was a lesson learned for us. Overall even if someone told me what would have happened with the before the wedding stress, i would still have chosen to have it there. The wedding at the end of the day was perfect that it was worth the stress mainly thanks to the day of staff!

The Sterling is stunning, the staff is amazing, and the food is excellent. The Sterling staff helped my dream wedding come to life. I have to give a shout out to Michael, our coordinator, who was MVP and made all our dreams a reality. The bride and groom suite were the best touch and helped the day run so smoothly. It is amazing to have your hair and makeup done at the venue space. The entire space is a beautiful blank canvas so every bride can see a different vision and bring it to life.The bartenders made our signature cocktails better than I couldâve imagined. All in all, I know that any couple that gets married at The Sterling will feel so special and have the best wedding that is unique to them.

My husband and I had our wedding at The Sterling on 11/20/21. Chris, Natalie, Tumika, Michael and Krystal were all absolutely wonderful to us throughout the planning process for our wedding. We booked with the venue in 2019, before it was even finished being built, and thatâs when we first met Krystal. She was always quick to answer our questions and super accommodating. From there, the team was consistently friendly and responsive. They experienced some turnover during the pandemic, as most facilities have, but they wound up assembling a rockstar team that takes true pride in their work! Not to mention - the food! Our guests are still raving about the food! Everything including the assortment of hand passed appetizers, beautiful cruditĂ©s displays, shrimp displays, and dual entrees were exceptional! They even helped us come up with a signature drink for the bar! It was absolutely phenomenal. Tumika and her team were incredible the entire night. There was NEVER a back up at the bar and people were complimenting us on how wonderful everyone was!!! Arrowheadâs Food and Beverage Director, Chris, has put together a great team at The Sterling. We, as well as many of our guests, are just so impressed. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left Chris and his team made us feel like we were important. They calmed our nerves, made us laugh, and showed us true hospitality. I just canât say enough good things about this team. I wouldnât hesitate to have another event at this incredible venue! Highly, highly recommend!!

If I could give 100 stars it would still not be enough to describe my daughter's wedding at The Sterling. The entire team went above and beyond to make her wedding a real life Fairytale! Geoff was so attentive and was sincerely committed to ensuring every detail, every request and every aspect of planning was gone over and double checked. By the night of the wedding I was 100% secure that everything was taken care of, all I had left to do was enjoy the night! And enjoy the night we did! We had 180 guests and the room was very comfortable. We had a large dance floor and still plenty of room for cocktail hour and a beautiful dessert table. Cocktail hour set the tone for an incredible night! Signature Cocktails, Passed Appetizers that are still being talked about; grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters-amazing! The Bar Staff was attentive, fast and still found time to be personable and so welcoming to our guests!Dinner was spectacular, not only was it delicious, and hot, but all of our guests were served almost simultaneously. It was incredible.After dinner we had Late Night Snacks; French Fry and Pretzel Bars-the perfect snack after cocktails and dancing! And, the guys loved the Cigar and Whiskey Bar.We ended the night with a Sparkler Send Off-it was magical.And the best part, I did not have to worry about a thing, the Sterling staff had everything covered!!From start to finish, from wedding coordinators, to managers, to wait staff and bar staff-every single person and every part of our time at The Sterling was Perfect!I would not hesitate to recommend them to family or friends for any party, wedding or social event.My only regret-- is that it is over. I am going to miss our Sterling friends, and all the fun we had planning my daughter's wedding.Bravo Sterling Staff!!!

I would recommend the Sterling to any bride to be..and hubby as well!! Weddings can be STRESSFUL but the best part of this venue is not only how beautiful it is but the fact that you are given a wedding coordinator to! I was your typical stressed bride and we had the pleasure of working with Dana on our special day and BOY did she pull through. Any question I had whether it was 8am or 1am in the morning she was there to answer. She made all the stresses of my special day disappear. On the day of, I had needed help setting up all my decor, signage, florals, etc..since I had DIY it all myself. I had a vision and Dana exceeded it! She and the Sterling team did everything they could to make sure when I walked out of that bridal suite that I was satisfied and I was. I almost cried how perfect they made that vision come true. All day, the Sterling team made sure my husband and I were taken care of, âdo you need a drinkâ, âhow are you doingâ, âis there anything I can get youâ. My list goes on. So not only are you going to get the most beautiful venue, scenery, and more but youâre getting a team who wants to see you shine on your special day without a worry in the world.

Truthfully this was not a great experience for my wife and I. The day of our wedding the coordinator spent more time on her phone next to the bar than she did speaking with us. Anytime we asked for something they were either rude to us or blatantly ignored us. Our late night stations were set up in the rain and not once were we asked by the coordinator if we needed anything. Weâre only giving 2 stars for the service staff because they were great but the coordination was terrible. We had 3 different wedding planners throughout the entire planning period. They couldnât even take the time to change a generic email from âMr. and Mrs.â to âMrs. and Mrs.â. Definitely skipped all the little details we were so excited to have with this venue. Highly recommend spending your day with a staff that values you and this was not it.

If I could give 100 stars I would. I do not even know how to put into words how amazing Lauren, Krystle and the whole team from The Sterling are. I was originally suppose to have my reception at Babeville but due to certain areas of Erie County becoming a yellow zone I reached out on 11/9/20 for my wedding on 11/14/20 and The Sterling was able to accommodate us with just a 5 day notice. They even met with me and my fiancĂ© the day I emailed them, these awesome ladies literally stayed late at work to ensure that I would have my dream wedding come Saturday. Being a covid bride is stressful enough and switching venues last minute turned out to be such a easy transition due to how incredible the staff at the Sterling was!! Lauren the wedding coordinator was present during my whole reception and ensured that everything turned out perfect. I honestly have the Sterling staff to thank for making my wedding day the best day of my life. Not to mention it is hands down the most beautiful venue in WNY! Last year when I got engaged I did not consider Arrowhead due to the distance but honestly it is worth the 40 minutes drive from Buffalo and back and all of your guest will realize that as soon as the take one step inside! I wouldnât change one thing from my wedding day and I know I was meant to have my reception there because I could not even imagine having it any where else besides the Sterling!! The Sterling will forever be my top choice and recommendation for anyone looking for a wedding venue. Trust me, you will not regret it!

My fiancĂ© Nick and I found The Sterling on The Knot and fell in love at first sight. Krystle took us on a tour and we were blown away in person. The Venue is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. On our tour Krystle answered all our questions. She also provided us a packet with pricing details, vendor recommendations and more. We are new to wedding planning so we had many follow up questions. Krystle answered them all very clear and detailed. After booking we met the rest of the team Lauren and Amanda who provided us with more helpful information and tips.

My fiancĂ© Nick and I found The Sterling on The Knot and fell in love at first sight. Krystle took us on a tour and we were blown away in person. The Venue is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. On our tour Krystle answered all our questions. She also provided us a packet with pricing details, vendor recommendations and more. We are new to wedding planning so we had many follow up questions. Krystle answered them all very clear and detailed. After booking we met the rest of the team Lauren and Amanda who provided us with more helpful information and tips.

We went to venues all over the Western New York area and nothing compared to hospitality the Sterling team showed, the beautiful property, and great communication. We booked The Sterling before it was even built and it was the best wedding decision we made. We first worked with Krystle and she was so welcoming and kind. We booked our date immediately. Through out the rest of our wedding planning we worked with Amanda, and she was AMAZING!!! There is a lot that goes into a wedding reception and she was unbelievably informative, helpful and patient through out the entire process of planning a wedding while COVID-19. Due to COVID we ended up being the first wedding to be held at the new venue! We were grateful for being able to have our reception and we ended up with a small intimate reception, which made our day special day even better! The Sterling is the ideal rustic chic venue. The wedding planner Amanda and her team truly executed the perfect first Sterling Wedding for my husband and I!

My husband Zach and I got engaged in 2018 and originally booked with the Timberlodge at Arrowhead. We were given the ability to switch to the Sterling and when seeing the plans, we jumped at the opportunity! From day 1 our wedding planner was nothing but helpful, always responding to emails promptly, and making all our requests a possibility. I have Celiac Disease so the fact that almost all the food could be altered to be safe for me to eat, was such a relief as a bride. The day of our wedding was so fun and stress free! All of the amenities and assistance from the Sterling staff made our wedding a dream come true! I can not recommend the Sterling enough for your dream wedding!
