Choosing Avenue D Events was single handedly the best decision we made to ensure a seamless wedding…read moreexperience! My husband and I knew that we wanted to have a beautiful stress-free wedding planning process and the team at Avenue D delivered! The "Everything But The Dress" Package was truly a life-saver! As our in house wedding planners Laura and Samantha ensured that everything was taken care of from start to finish! This meant that we received vetted, top tier vendors from across the Birmingham Area without having to manage complicated contracts and timelines. Although we were not living in Birmingham, they worked with us to ensure that every detail was handled including in-person and virtual vendor meeting scheduling and day of timeline coordination. All we had to do throughout the process was show up! What we were most impressed by, however, was the kindness and attentiveness shown by Laura, Samantha, and Allie (our design and decor expert) in the weeks leading up to the wedding. You all were a heaven-sent dream team! I can truly say that on the day of our wedding, we were not stressed one bit. We were able to enjoy the entire day knowing that everything was taken care of. This is such a rare experience and all of the credit goes to the team at Avenue D. Thank you Laura, Samantha, Allie, and Chuck for curating the perfect wedding experience for us from start to finish!

Finding parking wasn't bad and the venue is very spacious. My friend knows how to throw a good party so of course it was decorated beautifully and had awesome entertainment.

I don't think there are enough words in the English dictionary to describe the incredible…read moreexperience of being married at The Sterling Castle. From the very beginning, it felt very welcoming. My fiancé at the time and I toured the venue a month out before he actually propose. We knew that we were going to be getting married the following year so we wanted to start scoping out some venues. This was probably one of the first venues that we saw, and once we walked on site, we knew that it was the place. Misty is truly a godsend and her husband Victor was a true visionary. I was a little nervous because I am a control freak and, I'm working on that ,however, when it came to the actual day of the event, oh my goodness. All of the planning was well worth it. We had the opportunity to do a food tasting to choose what foods we would be offering on the day of the wedding. The food was just as good if not better on the wedding day as it was when we did the food tasting. We had the opportunity to choose our cake flavors, and the design of the cake exceeded our expectation. But for me, it was the ease of the day and seeing my vision board fully come to life. I provided pictures from a Pinterest board, and when I say it was as if the pictures came off the screen of the phone into reality. I was in tears at the rehearsal, the day of, throughout the whole process and not wanting it to end. The staff on site during the day of made sure the wedding went off without a hitch. I know people say weddings are stressful, but I can truly say there was no stress throughout the entire nine months of planning, there was no stress the day of the wedding, accommodating almost 200 of our family and friends, there was no stress at all. For the cost, I would say it was more than reasonable, considering other venues and vendors. I will say that we did look at other places we did meet with other vendors and for the value of what we got our wedding looked and felt like a million bucks! The payment plan helped us to make sure that we had cleared all balances prior to the wedding. I would suggest getting a plan ahead of time and making your payments prior to the due dates so that it does not feel so overwhelming with the cost. Nonetheless again the cost was very reasonable for what we received in the execution of the day and the overall wedding itself. I can continue to go on and on and about my wedding day. All of our guests walked away, feeling as if they were truly a part of a fairytale. I highly recommend this venue for anyone who is particularly busy and really cares about details. Having someone at the venue who equally cares about detail and has the time that you don't have to put into your wedding day being what it needs to be. This is definitely the place for you. If I could do it all over again I would.

It was a little chilly inside. I think that was due to a side door being open on a cold night. This place does have a bar, which is nice. Drinks were medium priced. Not cheap but not pricey. Not sure of the price to use it for a night. Really ample parking lot

The room is huge, with big windows that let in lots of sunlight and also give a great view of the city at night. Guests were seated in chairs, benches, and even big pillows on the floor, which gave the event a 'family night in' type vibe. They also had Barnestending on site making delicious cocktails. There are two restrooms and another area in the back where the performers were getting ready. This seems like a very versatile venue that you can transform for a wide variety of occasions.
