The Sterling Event Center is the sister venue
to The Silver Spoon Barn. The Sterling
was newly created for up to 400 guests in
April, 2019. It’s architectural design appeals
to events with a unique industrial flair. This
space is both modern and elegant! It boasts
8000 sq. ft. of black metal posts, gorgeous
brick walls and amazing crystal chandeliers.
The large windows bring in lots of natural
light perfect for photos and highlighting the
beautiful interior details. The loft ceiling
and railed balcony creates an open feeling
for the spacious ceremony room below. This
area is trimmed with lustrous dark wood.
Luxurious bridal and groom's suites are
roomy and conveniently located upstairs,
creating a grand entrance opportunity down
the stairs to the aisle.
This venue is large enough to host your
ceremony, reception and dancing all in the
same building! If you have been dreaming of
a gorgeous outdoor wedding, there is also a
beautiful black post and brick themed decor
continuing on the outdoor stage that overlooks
secluded rolling hills conveniently located
off of I-49 and Zora in Joplin. XmW
