are we the perfect fit?
I started SG3 Events in 2019 after over a decade of planning events, due to my passion for celebrating life and bringing people together. Even as a kid, I was always the “planner” in my family, and in my professional career as a Project Manager, I continued to live out my passion by planning Corporate events. My ultimate goal as an Event Planner goes beyond detailed planning and organization. I want to help you plan your most special occasions and celebrations, allow you to enjoy the planning process, and elicit positive emotions and great memories from your guests as they celebrate with you!
WHY
warmhearted, stylish, and modern with exquisite taste and a discerning eye. You value meaningful connections and relationships, quality experiences, and excellence in service. As a busy professional, you cherish the people closest to you and you are intentional about celebrating life’s special moments with your loved ones. When it comes to your celebration, you are not of the cookie-cutter mould. You are avid about curating a personalized event that showcases your life and individuality in the most expansive ways.
you are...
caring, driven, and modern with an intense pursuit to celebrate life and create lasting memories. I am known for my stellar attention to detail, my fun and good-natured heart, and always going the extra mile to make people happy. As an Event Planner, I value building relationships and creating a personal connection with you. I strive to provide you with the best experience and high-touch service, combined with the knowledge and know-how to effectively plan, manage, and execute your Special Event. It brings me joy when you are truly happy with your planning experience and your Celebration.

"I am a busy working mom of two-and SG3 Events was just what I needed. Sarah helped me plan and execute my son’s first birthday bash. Working with Sarah was such a treat. From beginning to end she simplified everything for me. She always had plan a,b,c,d,e -In case the first didn’t work out. She tirelessly worked day and night to ensure my son’s birthday party went off without a hitch-and COMMUNICATED with me every step of the way! I LOVED my experience with SG3 Events, and I’ll recommend them to everyone I know! Do yourself a favor, simplify your life and let SG3 Events plan your next event today!"
From beginning to end she simplified everything for me.

"Working with SG3 Events was amazing! The owner Sarah is so passionate about events and you can see it in all that she does. Prior to working with Sarah, I had an idea of what I wanted for my party, and after the initial consultation, she really understood my vision and needs for the event. She worked tirelessly and actually got me very excited about my event. She truly created an extraordinary experience throughout the entire planning process, and of course at the actual event!"
She worked tirelessly and actually got me very excited about my event.

frequently asked questions
What does SG3 stand for and why is it a Boutique Event Planning company?
01.
Simply put, SG3 represents the core of my existence, my Faith, my Family, and my Passion! It began as the initials to the nickname my sister gave to my first born daughter. Over the years, it has continued to represent my immediate family, and now represents the love and passion I have for Event Planning. I couldn’t think of a better name that truly brings me joy and represents all that I am. Being a boutique Event Planning company means we limit the amount of events we take on each year in order to ensure consistent unparalleled customer service for all of our customers.
What types of Special Events do you plan?
02.
We plan any occasion that is cause for celebration! This includes Birthday Parties, Anniversary Parties, Baby + Bridal showers, mitzvahs and other milestone celebrations.
Why should I hire you as my Event Planner? What makes you different?
03.
I know you have a lot of choices when it comes to selecting a Event Planner. The value I bring to YOU is my love for planning, and my uncompromised dedication to serving YOU and your overall satisfaction. I like to use the analogy of one of my favorite retail stores, Nordstrom. You can find a blazer you’ve been eyeing in their store and at other similar retailers, even for a lower price. But you choose to purchase it from Nordstrom because of their excellent customer service and quality of your shopping experience. This is why customers choose the SG3 Events Experience. I have a service mindset focused on creating customer satisfaction, loyalty, and trust, and I am truly passionate about celebrations, bringing people together, and making people happy. You might ask “why does this matter for my event”? It matters if the end result of your celebration is to bring people together to foster positive and enjoyable experiences. You want someone with heart and true love for planning and celebrations to bring your vision to life making you, your friends and family happy!
What keeps you inspired and motivated?
04.
I am passionate about making people happy, serving others, connecting people, bringing people together, and getting things done. What keeps me going are the results. Making my clients happy, and seeing how happy they are with my work and services. I am satisfied when my clients show satisfaction in my work.
What is your event style?
05.
My Event style can be described as modern, chic, and understatedly luxurious. I love designs that combine clean lines, well defined patterns, geometric shapes, earth tones, and minimal to lavish volume of decor/floral elements. Check out our Pinterest Board to view some of my style inspirations.
Do you offer Event decor and styling?
06.
We provide assistance with selecting a theme, color, decor, and overall look and feel for your Event, however we outsource the design and setup of the decor to our Event Design partners and "friendors." If you already have an Event Designer in mind, we will be happy to work with them to coordinate the aesthetics and details of your event.
When is the best time to hire an Event Planner for my celebration?
07.
I recommend hiring an Event Planner even before you hire other vendors. It is imperative that you have someone advocating for you from the beginning and throughout the entire planning process who can also save you money due to vendor relationships and knowledge in the event industry. I can also help determine the level of support you will need for your event.
Do you travel? If yes, what are your travel expenses?
08.
We currently travel for celebrations being held at a Destination! The client is responsible for paying the travel expenses related to the trip which typically includes flight, hotel, and transportation.
What is your communication style?
09.
I love to talk and build relationships! That’s how I get to know you and serve you better. I will engage in a series of face to face and phone conversations in the Connect stage so that I can create a meaningful connection with you. After that, I typically recommend keeping specific communication regarding your event details in our online planning software as it becomes the central hub for all aspects of your event. I still remain available over the phone and via text messages during business hours as needed.
I have already found a venue for my event and they have a coordinator. Do I still need an Event Planner?
10.
Yes, Yes, and Yes! The venue coordinator has the best interest of the venue. Our focus and best interest is on YOU and your overall event experience. Our Collection I is a great place to start if you have planned the majority of your event and have been working with a venue coordinator.
