“I've never seen all the best qualities together in one person. Organized,
never ruffled, and invites the creativity of others.
Before founding SG3 Events, I spent more than 15 years in corporate leadership roles as a certified Project Management Professional for Fortune 500 companies, honing the skills that now allow me to plan and execute weddings and corporate events with diligence, structure, and finesse.
But what truly drives my work is the heart behind it all. I care deeply about my clients and the people they bring together, approaching every event with unwavering dedication and a commitment to excellence.
My role is to carry the weight of event planning, so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most.

memories created together.

Exceptionally organized, full of creative ideas and able to pull miracles out of her pocket at a moment's notice. I would hire her again in a second.
Sarah was a dream to work with.
– Brandon & Tavia
Chantilly, VA
Sarah and her team went above and beyond for our wedding. She took the time to understand my wife’s vision and helped make our day special and better than we imagined it could be, all within our budget! Because of SG3, the wedding planning process was practically stress-free, and we got to enjoy our day with ZERO issues.
SG3 Events is the best in the DMV.
– Jared C.
Maximus, Inc
She’s thought of everything, even things I wouldn’t have thought of myself, and she’s gone completely above and beyond. It’s taken a load off of me trying to manage every little detail myself.
Sarah has been invaluable in helping me plan our company’s 50th anniversary gala.

SG3 planned my daughter’s wedding in 2023, and two years later, we STILL have people telling us how memorable it was!
