“We had our wedding at Sterling Event Venue, and Daniel along with Candace were just incredible to work with. My wife had some crazy requests for the vision she had, and they made it happen without a second thought. I was a little worried because we had 275 people there but dang they were awesome. And the bartender they recommended matched their vibe perfectly.”
