Certified Wedding Planner (CWP) with over 15 years of experience specializing in high-logistics luxury events and complex vendor contract negotiations. She holds a Master’s degree in Hospitality Management and has successfully orchestrated over 400 weddings with budgets exceeding $100k.
Eleanor Sterling brings a rigorous, logistical approach to wedding planning, bridging the gap between romantic vision and operational reality. Having started her career in high-end hotel catering management before launching her own firm, she possesses a deep understanding of the "back-of-house" mechanics that keep an event running seamlessly. Her writing focuses on the critical, unglamorous aspects of planning: decoding force majeure clauses, calculating precise staffing ratios, and managing minute-by-minute timelines to prevent guest fatigue. Eleanor advises couples on how to vet vendors strictly and manage budgets without compromising the guest experience. She is a strong advocate for professional coordination, arguing that true peace of mind comes from technical preparation rather than just aesthetic design.
