Sterling Weddings and Events is a boutique event planning company, awarded and sought out as one of Arizona's leading event production companies.
Sterling is a boutique planner and limit the number of events we do each week, month and year. We are not a wedding factory, we work hard to develop original ideas with a team of professionals to create a truly one of a kind experience for you, your family and friends. No 2 events of mine have been the same or with the exact vendor team.
Care Schmidt, Owner | Experience Curator
I am a little bit country and a little bit rock n' roll and love to travel, attend baseball games, happy hour, yoga, and most importantly doing all of this with my husband and son. We've crossed canyons, climbed mountains and explored timezones and new countries and I couldnt image my life without them.
A native Arizonan, though professionally I ventured out and lived in Huntington Beach, California and New York City where I fostered my career working in events with Disney/ESPN. In 2007, I launched Sterling, as an opportunity to assist Brides, Executives, and Non-Profits in creating beautiful events flawlessly. Here, I am given the chance to utilize my creativity, knowledge, and experience to create amazing events. This experience has awarded me partnerships with ring winning athletes, hollywood elite, as well as Execs, Nurses and Teachers. Offering the same level of service and expertise, believing anyone can have their event goals executed.
With over 24 years in event planning experience with Weddings, Corporate Events, Nonprofit Events, Fashion Shows, Family Celebrations, Business Launch Parties, and Social events: my passion is truly creating events as individual as my clients.
Fun Facts about Care:
I love celebrating people, whether its a wedding, a business milestone or family event; everyone who joins is part of the celebration of love, success, or family. I get invited to play a role in their lives, in its happiest moments. It's hard work but it fills my cup at the end of the day.
I often end up on crazy long hikes with my husband, he loves it, I like the adventure. My Favorite so far was hiking across the Gran Canyon where I was able to watch the sunrise and set in one (long) day.
I used to joke that I got into event planning because every event included cake, although, it's a cruel twist of fate that I cannot eat it.
I absolutely love to cook, it's one of my favorite parts of my day..
I am a certified yoga teacher and licensed real estate agent.
I've been in a Disneyland Parade, which was not nearly as easy as it looks. Ultra nerd fact: I've been to every Disney Park across the globe except China.
