S&B truly was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Their services alleviated so much stress and allowed me to feel like a bride instead of a party-planner. In this day and age, weddings are much more complicated than punch and mints in the church parish hall. The planning process can be confusing, stressful, and overwhelming. For such an important, once-in-a-lifetime {and expensive} day, it is WORTH the price to have the expertise and advice of this team. They work hard to ensure your day is perfect and alleviate so much wasted time, money, and worry while they re at it. Could not recommend them enough. My wedding was PERFECT and SO MUCH FUN because of their ability to execute our plans, allowing me to focus on what mattered on such an important day. So so thankful for Nichole, Sara, and the entire S&B team.

Sara and her team are pros. Very organized, highly detailed and they even take care of the little things you don't expect. I couldn't be happier about my experience with Stunning and Brilliant Events. If you are planning an event and want it to be spectacular and go off perfectly, then look no further than Sara McColl.

Thank you guys again!

Stunning and Brilliant Events defiantly we're the final piece to the wedding puzzle! Sara was so involved up until the weekend of the wedding, with calling all vendors, making sure we had everything done, and keeping my mom and I organized! It was such a stress relief! Tia and Kristen made the rehearsal and day of coordination so simple and beautiful! We would recommend them over and over! Thanks so much for making our day so amazing!

We used Sara and Stunning and Brilliant Events last October. My daughter had the wedding of her dreams. Sara and her staff were exceptional!! We spent 9 months working with Sara. She is the epitome of professionalism, good listening skills, and simply fun to be around. Sara will get the job done. All weddings have something go awry; she handles the drama/situation/catastrophe without bothering the wedding party. Sara made the process fun and oh so beautiful! Would use S & B again, in a minute!

Sara and her team at S&B made my day the best!! Sara was so easy to work with, so sweet and excited to work on our event. She listened to my ideas and made them even better. She worked with all the vendors to make sure the big day was seamless. She was so well organized that I didn't have a worry at all on the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend S&B to any future bride! And if you have an hesitations, I would recommend going to one of their bridal seminars.

Had the pleasure of working as chauffeur for wedding last weekend along with nichole she was amazing in her dedication and organization skills kept everything running like a well oiled machine while remaining cool and calm under the circumstance of the couples special day. No detail seemed to large or too small for her keen eye. Transportation to and from venue was flawless and extremely smooth. I don't think you could have had a better leader for this event.

Sara was a blast to work with! She was so extremely helpful when it came to something that I had planned had fell through. She scooped up the pieces and put it all back together without me having to lift a finger. Anything that needed to be done was done before I had to ask. My wedding day was amazing and stress-free and that wouldn't have been possible without Sara's help.

Hiring Sara and her staff was the best decision we made in planning our daughter's wedding. Since we are local to Myrtle Beach, we already had picked most of our vendors and knew we wanted the reception at our home. Even though Sara was dealing with an outside reception at a private home, using a caterer and florist with whom she had no experience, everything went off without a hitch. Sara did a site visit and immediately took our ideas and not only made them reality, but also used her own vision that complemented ours perfectly. These ladies are totally organized and unflappable, right down to dispatching two baby snakes who crawled out of the ivy and under a table about two hours before the guests arrived! The evening of the event went off without a hitch, entirely due to Sara's calm attitude and quiet competence.

Where do I begin? Sara and Kristen (and Kelly) are the best in the business!! They went above and beyond what I would have expected from any wedding planner to make sure that everything was perfect. They were in constant contact with me prior to the wedding which put me at ease and assured me that I could relax because things were getting done. On the day of the wedding, everything ran like clockwork. I honestly cannot say enough great things about these ladies and this business. They were phenomenol and I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. You need these ladies, they were worth every single cent and more!!

Stunning and Brilliant Events were incredibly helpful in planning and executing our vision for our perfect wedding. From the design, to the rental logistics, to the day of assistance, the team was instrumental in making sure our big day went off without a hitch. I couldn't have done it without Sara and her team! Do yourself a favor and hire them.TOTAL ROCKSTARS and amazing people!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sara, Caitlin and S & B Events!! They made our day so beautiful and fun!!! They took care of every single step of our planning process and kept us all sane in the process. All we had to do was show up and have the best night ever!! She helped us select the perfect venue and vendors, and we could not be more pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you, thank you!! We're forever grateful, and we could not recommend you more!

I highly recommend Sara and her staff at Stunning & Brilliant Events, LLC. Sara was such a delight to work with and our wedding would not have been the same without her. From planning to the actual wedding day, she made the process so stress free. She has such a great design sense and brought my wedding vision to life. She was so easy to work with, responding to emails within minutes sometimes and very professional. When rain threatened to change our plans, she was right there with options and took my worries away. She and her staff were such an amazing part of our wedding day, helping make the day go off without a hitch! Loved working with Sara!

First off, thank you thank you thank you sooo much Sara!!! I can't say it enough!!!

I found Sara through a random Google search, I don't believe she was even on the top of the Google search engine (which she should be), but thankfully the first 2 phone numbers I dialed did not answer, because she did, and that was the start of my absolutely amazing seamless experience.

I needed assistance with a proposal while out of state. My girlfriend and I had a road trip planned in which I wanted to pop the question. Considering I wasn't presently available Sara was in charge of every detail (sight unseen) which required a lot of trust on my part.

She literally went to a location in which she initially helped me select, she recorded the surrounding area and sent me a video for approval and so I can see exactly where everything was going to take place. She coordinated an excursion involving another company that was part of our grand idea. She provided the photographer, an individual for drone video footage, all the decorations with candles, rose petals, etc; she had me select favorite pictures in which she printed and framed, she asked that I create a list of favorite songs to be played in the background... I can go on and on describing details that she thought of that I didn't even think to think of! She is definitely a savant at what she does and she didn't miss a beat during the entire process!!

I will definitely use her when we are ready to tie the knot, and I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone I personaly know or anyone reading this rant of a review!!! Thanks again Sara!!! I can't imagine things going more perfectly than they did:)

I used Sara and Stunning and Brilliant for my day of planning for my wedding on August 24th, 2013 at Brookgreen Gardens in Pawleys Island, SC. Sara went above and beyond what I anticipated! We met at least twice before my wedding and were in constant contact from the day we signed on with her until after my wedding! She was amazing and made my day and the weeks leading up to the wedding stress and worry free! Her team was fabulous on the day of and made sure every little detail was taken care of so that me and my mom had nothing to worry about. We are so grateful that we had Sara and Stunning and Brilliant to take care of us! I can't say enough about how wonderful she is. She is such a pleasant and nice person to work with. She is honest, and has the clients best interest in the forefront of her mind. She knows the stress of planning a wedding and makes it so much easier! Because of Sara and her team, I was stress free and relaxed on my big day and I couldn't ask for more. Thank you Sara and team!

Sara and her team are fantastic and made for a seamless rehearsal dinner and wedding. There were a couple of obstacles along the way that Sara solved in an efficient and professional manner. We knew that she knew her stuff from the early communications but when you see her in action the weekend of the wedding it is really something to behold. Thanks for everything Sara!

Sara McCall and her team are absolutely incredible. My now husband and I planned our wedding from the Midwest, and we certainly could not have pulled off our wedding day without Stunning & Brilliant Events. I knew we would hire Sara from the first moment I spoke with her on the phone. Sara is a great communicator and promptly returned all of my calls and emails. She followed up with vendors, eased my nerves, and took care of all the "little" details that truly made our day perfect. I could not speak more highly of Sara and Stunning & Brilliant Events.

Hiring Sara and her team was hands down the best decision I made. I hired Stunning & Brilliant Events for month & day of coordination, then ended up asking her to help with the layout and rental company pieces as well. I honestly don't even know where to begin or how to put into words how incredible the S&B team is. My parents, my husband, our wedding party, etc. all commented on how seamlessly the day went because of S&B Events. From the moment she took the reigns to the end of our wedding, Sara and her team (huge shout out to Hannah, too!) were ten steps ahead of us and prepared for everything. They truly went above and beyond for us and I could not be more thankful that they were there.

When I first met with Sara a little over a year ago I left her office feeling so relieved. From the moment I sat down she was on the same wave length as me with everything I wanted. She really has a knack for drawing out your personality to help conceptualize a vision that is so perfect for your wedding. Working with Sara was wonderful. She is so genuine and easy to work with. I am a very detail oriented person and Sara worked hard to make sure everything I envisioned came through. The result was a wedding I never thought possible. Sara is trustworthy, professional, and on the day of the wedding you want her there. I can't tell you how fast the days goes by and all the little things we forgot and she remembered. I don't know what we would have done without her. We had a small wedding, but we had a lot of details and the Stunning & Brilliant Events team pulled it off perfectly. We got the most beautiful photos, our guests were amazed, and we ended up with our perfect wedding. I am truly thankful and recommend Sara and Stunning & Brilliant Events to help you plan and coordinate your big day. We can't thank you enough, Sara!

5 +++ stars! I was so happy to have hired Sara and the S&B events team for my wedding day. As with a lot of couples during this pandemic, my husband and I had postponed our wedding 3 times and due to personal reasons we couldn't push it out again to next year. We completely changed the date and location and were states away so I knew we needed someone local to help us plan and create our event. Sara planned a beautiful design, she was on top of everything with vendors and even took care of getting everything together for our marriage license. We just had to pick it up when we arrived. She did this all in JUST 3 WEEKS! Our day turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined. After all the disappointment and frustration we had prior to this final date/location change, it was an amazing and perfect day. Thank you so much Sara!

If you are looking to genuinely enjoy the wedding ...

If you are looking to genuinely enjoy the wedding planning process and not be stressed out on your wedding day you need not look any further. My mother and I attempted to plan our wedding on our own and about 2 months in we decided we were in over our heads. We reached out to our vendors and our florist gave us Sara's name with Stunning and Brilliant Events. From the first conversation with Sara I knew she was going to be a rock star. She is extremely organized, prompt, creative and overall just someone who is fun to be around. We had a lot of the bigger decisions made with our wedding but it's the little decisions that are the hardest and Sara navigated our ideas and desires with ease. We also had a few kinks in the process (nothing to do with Sara) and instead of having me call to fix them Sara took the bull by the horns and demanded things be fixed or found me another vendor who was just as good if not better than the first. I felt like the whole process was truly FUN and I had time to enjoy my engagement and not be constantly worried about the wedding. Sara also has the ability to build great relationships with the vendors - lucky for me she already had great relationships with all of mine prior to my wedding, but there were a few that she didn't know and am confident they would strongly recommend her in the future based off of my wedding. The day of my wedding went off without a hitch - she had it planned to the minute and I felt like I got to squeeze every minute and moment out of my special day because we had Sara and her amazing assistant Kristen. Sara pays so much attention to detail the she and Kristen actually purchased an outfit in my wedding colors to wear to my wedding - how cute is that? I absolutely adore Sara but from a business standpoint she is OUTSTANDING - she exceeded all my expectations and to reiterate made my special day one that I enjoyed and will never forget!

Sara and Hannah did such an amazing job! They were professional from the start and were always one step ahead of me. With their help, I knew I could relax and be stress free on my wedding day because they would take care of everything. Highly recommend!!!

I would highly recommend Stunning & Brilliant Events! Sara and her team did an outstanding job. Every person/company they recommended was amazing. Their attention to detail, organization, efficiency, and professionalism were beyond reproach. They executed our wedding day with precision and it went perfect. I would hire them again in a second if I had an event to plan. If you have an important event in your future, don't hesitate to call these ladies to ensure your special event goes perfect.

Highly recommend working with Stunning & Brilliant Events! They were very easy to communicate with and took care of everything. Most importantly they brought my vision of ceremony and reception to life and ensured that the wedding day ran smoothly. Thanks so much!

We have used Sara and her team for two weddings. They are well worth the cost , especially in the last couple of weeks as they take the worry out of all of the last minute details. Our most recent wedding was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and they made the whole experience much less stressful. If we had a third daughter we would not hesitate to use them again!

We hired Sara with Stunning and Brilliant for our ...

We hired Sara with Stunning and Brilliant for our older daughter's wedding in December of 2017. So, when our second daughter got engaged in April of 2018, the first thing I did was to call Sara! So, with Sara's patience, organization, and vision, we planned a second wedding at DeBordieu for March of 2019. My biggest concern was that the wedding not be a carbon copy of our first wedding there, but that it would be just as beautiful and well organized as the first. And, not surprisingly, Sara (and the rest of the team at Stunning and Brilliant) pulled it off - again! We had the ceremony and reception at a completely different venue within DeBordieu and it was absolutely stunning! Sara worked with me, listened to me, and went to bat for me with all our vendors to make sure the day was flawless. As a mother of the bride (for the second time around), I had definite ideas of things I wanted and didn't want. Sara was able to make it all happen. I can't imagine planning a wedding without Sara and Stunning and Brilliant there to make it all happen. Sara is easy to work with, fun, talented, organized, and works extremely hard to make sure your vision for your wedding is realized. My advice - hire Sara and Stunning and Brilliant before you make any other decisions about your wedding!

Working with the Stunning and Brilliant Events ladies was a dream! We met with Sara and she helped us to book with vendors she knows and trusts. She was open and honest when we asked her questions about vendors about her experiences. Sara is SO fun, my mom and I had an absolute blast planning with her. She is so easy going and totally put us at ease!!
On wedding day Sara and the other S&B ladies that came to help were so wonderful. They were all so calm when I certainly was not. I recommend Stunning and Brilliant Events to any bride!! You won t be disappointed .

S&B events were probably my saving grace for my wedding. I too was a little skeptical on hiring a planner, but after talking with Sara over the phone, I knew we would get along great. Sara was always there when I needed her and went above and beyond when it came to making sure everything went smooth. We had some major challenges that we had to overcome the weekend of my wedding and had I of not had Sara, I probably would have had a melt down! She was amazing, professional, creative and just a genuine person overall. Well worth having Sara and her team assist with your wedding.

If you are looking for the wedding or special event of a lifetime, Stunning & Brilliant Events, LLC are simply the best. You will never have to worry about 1 single item using them for their attention to detail is second to none!!!

Sara and her team are absolutely amazing. I live in California and was planning on visiting Myrtle Beach with my girlfriend. I knew I wanted to propose to her when we were in Myrtle Beach but had no idea how I was going to do it. That is when Sara came along and saved the day. The restaurant that I was planning on proposing at got me in contact with Sara and she took it from there. Sara immediately reached out and had an idea for the setup up. Her idea was exactly what I was thinking and she took care of everything. She would continuously check in with me the month prior to the proposal to see if I needed anything and to keep me updated. She even went above and beyond by sending me a video of how to walk through the hotel lobby to get to the outside area where everything was set up. I would not have been able to find my way there without her video. I cannot thank Sara and her team enough for everything that they did. As soon as my girlfriend said yes, Sara and the photographer that she set up came out and started taking photos. Sara's design and setup was absolutely perfect and so beautiful. My girlfriend was so impressed with the setup and that was all thanks to Sara. If you want to have a hassle free, beautiful and perfect event call Sara and her team. You will not be disappointed at all. Thank you so much Sara for creating a memory that we will never forget!!!

You can not go wrong with Sara, our fantastic wedding planner and her team at Stunning & Brilliant Events. They are very detailed and helped us through this process seamlessly. Sara has a very calming effect which is most appreciated during what can be a stressful time. The whole experience with them was fantastic, but most notably on the actual wedding day. They took care of all of the details and allowed me, as the mother of the bride, to just enjoy the day. Hiring Sara and her team to help us with the planning and executing of our daughter's wedding was the best money we spent. They are worth every dollar and made the whole experience wonderful. I highly recommend their services!

You cannot have a wedding without Stunning and Brilliant Events!!! Our daughter Katy was married May 5, in Conway, SC. It was perfect!!! After meeting originally with Sara and asking her a million questions, I knew we had to have them. Nichole was our day of planner. She was AMAZING!!! I know there are details we didn t even know she took care of. It was seamless. We love them!

Sara was truly wonderful making my special day (engagement) amazing. She is very helpful and quick to answer any questions. I would recommend her to anybody looking to make an event extra special.

Let me start off by saying that Sara and her team are amazing. The first thing you should do when you get engaged if you are around the Myrtle Beach area (or beyond) is call Stunning and Brilliant Events. At first, I was a skeptical about hiring a planner. I am a little OCD and wanted to control every detail. I thought I could do it on my own, especially since I was having my wedding at a resort with an event director. I was sadly mistaken. I had Sara's help a little later in the game, but I kick myself for not hiring her in the beginning. I know many of you may think it is a lot of money to hire a planner, but Sara and her team are well worth it. In fact, they save you money. Sara asked all the right questions and knew how to work around things to save the most money. I am telling you-having Sara as a full wedding planner will pay for itself. I was a little worried about just letting everything go, but my wedding turned out even more amazing than I could have ever dreamed of when I just gave full reign to Sara. Sara is extremely talented and will not disappoint. If you are in the area and looking to have a stunning an brilliant wedding or event, hire her. If you are not in the area, fly her to where you are!!!

Caitlin did a wonderful job with our wedding! She was on top of communication, and fine-tuned all of the planning I had already done to make it perfect. Having her there day-of was a huge relief- she took all of the stress off of my parents and I.

Sara and her team were the most amazing wedding planners I could have asked for. Our wedding went off without a single hitch and everything truly was stunning and brilliant. I will gladly tell anyone that will listen to hire this team of strong, independent and fierce women to help plan their big event because they are 1000% the best.

Although at first we were hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator, Isaac and I are SO THANKFUL that we did, and we couldn't have chosen a better company than Stunning & Brilliant Events! Sara was phenomenal--she had everything in order from the start, and she put my mind at ease! Living in Charlotte and planning a wedding in Myrtle Beach was a daunting task, but she made it easy. Her team is also amazing--day-of, everything went off without a hitch and we barely noticed their presence! Working with Sara was quite a pleasure, and I am definitely hiring her for any future events!

Sara is an awesome wedding planner. She does not override your ideas, but rather listen to your ideas and uses her professional experience & knowledge to turn a simple idea into an incredible masterpiece. She is extremely creative and remains open-minded throughout the planning process. She is the best planner that I have ever met, we could not have chosen anyone better than Sara and her team. If someone was to ask me, "if I could change one thing about our wedding day" my response would be "absolutely nothing." It was perfect!!!!

Throughout the entire planning process of our destination wedding in Pawley's Island, SC on 8/2/12, Sara and the team at Stunning & Brilliant were BEYOND helpful!
Planning a South Carolina wedding from Missouri was scary at first! But after hiring Stunning & Brilliant, the ideas and dreams I had in my mind started to become a reality. Sara has connections with wonderful vendors for every aspect of planning a wedding- from rentals, to caterers, to our wonderful harpist!
The timelines and information packets they provided helped keep us on track in the months leading up to the wedding, and on the rehearsal and wedding days... what a relief to send everyone with questions or issues to the professionals, instead of having to worry over small details.
Another huge advantage was having constant email communication. Anytime I had a question, I recieved an email back very promptly- usually same day.
Not only were Stunning & Brilliant Event's services professional and efficient, but it was a joy to work with such a kind, friendly, and energetic person as Sara.
My advice to anyone planning a wedding in the Myrtle Beach area... HIRE STUNNING & BRILLIANT, EVENTS!!! =)

Let me start off by saying I loved working with Sara and her team at S&B Events. I originally tried to plan my 9/14/13 Pawleys Island, SC wedding on my own from Boston, MA, which proved to be entirely overwhelming. I had no idea who to use for vendors, and I really didn't have anyone in the area to bounce wedding-related questions off of. I found Sara online and quickly set up a phone call to see if she would be a good fit. From that first phone call, I knew Sara would be the perfect wedding planner. I booked her for full planning services, and I do not regret one bit of it. She knows so many wedding contacts in the area and was able to set up meetings for my husband and me with several vendors so we could get a comparison of services provided. Sara was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls and was more than willing to meet in person each time I traveled to SC to do wedding planning things. She was able to take my very high level vision of what I wanted our wedding to look like and executed it beyond my expectations. In the days leading up to our wedding date, I was way more relaxed than I probably would have been if I had not had Sara's help. I highly recommend Sara and her team to anyone looking for wedding planning services in the Carolina area!

Sara and her staff made our wedding day an absolute breeze! I planned from afar and found her late in the planning process and she helped tie up all the loose ends before the wedding day. She is knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with on every detail. I highly recommend!

We got married in August of 2015 in Charleston, SC and we used Stunning and Brilliant for our day of wedding planner. Sara was SOOOO amazing to work with! She is so detail oriented and organized that it made our day PERFECT. Even though she was day of, she was always so easy to get ahold of and able to answer the craziest of wedding questions! Not only did she travel to Charleston before the wedding once, or twice, but THREE times!! She is hands down the BEST. Sara far exceeded my expectations. A perfect example of her doing that is when her and her team actually spent the night before my wedding spray painting 20+ pineapples because I didn't have time to do it!! She completely surprised me - I didn't even ask, she took it upon herself and made my envision come to life! I could not be more grateful.

Sara is the most wonderful person and wedding plan...

Sara is the most wonderful person and wedding planner in the world. All of her staff is exceptional. She allowed my husband and I to have a stress-free wedding. S & B put everything together just as I had imagined it would be. I had worked so hard to plan it all and it was very important to me that every detail go as I had thought it should. Sara and her staff went beyond my hopes and dreams. I can't express enough gratitude to them all. They will make your wedding day stunning and brilliant!!! It's the best money we spent!!

Stunning and Brilliant Events are amazing!!! Ever...

Stunning and Brilliant Events are amazing!!! Every detail was covered and we were able to enjoy the weekend worry free!! It truly was a story book wedding and our friends are still talking about it!!! I would not hesitate to hire them again for any event and I will miss working with their incredible team!! Thanks for making our dreams a reality!

Sara and her services as a wedding planner are jus...

Sara and her services as a wedding planner are just as her company is titled: STUNNING and BRILLIANT! We had an early summer outdoor wedding at Brookgreen Gardens, with an outdoor reception. There was a lot to plan and arrange, and since my husband and I live in Virginia, we had no idea how to handle booking all of these vendors from out of state. From our first conversation over the phone with Sara, she was organized, positive, kind, and asked all of the questions surrounding our big day that we hadn't thought to ask. She listened carefully to our likes and dislikes, and handled every aspect of planning our wedding with grace and poise. Best of all, she was EXCELLENT about communication! When it came down to the day of our wedding, instead of stressing about the details, we were able to sit back and enjoy every moment of our day knowing that everything was in the very capable hands of Sara and her team. To us, that time spent enjoying our wedding instead of worrying was worth single penny of her services. Truly, if you're even thinking of hiring Sara and her team, the answer needs to be yes. You will 100% not regret it. Thank you so much Sara, from the bottom of our hearts. You're an excellent wedding planner, and now an amazing friend! We could not have done this without you.

Stunning & Brilliant Events was the best gift I received for my wedding! Sara and Tia were so easy to work with and keep this type-A bride sane! I have never been more relaxed for an event and truly enjoyed the day. Not being in town, they were critical in finding vendors, working with the location and keeping up with all of the details leading up to our wedding. I just loved working with them and would hire them again for an event without a second thought. P.s. Tia made the perfect flower girl when mine decided to have a melt down. :-)

Sara and her team at Stunning & Brillant Events, LLC should absolutely be working at EVERY brides wedding. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her and her team and there's no way I could have made it through the wedding day without them.

All brides question after the wedding on whether they would choose some vendors again, and without a doubt, I would choose Sara and her team again and again. They're professional, organized, personable, realiable, and one step ahead of everything at all times.

Plus, when the wedding party is nervous and anxious, Sara is completely calm and keeps everything running smoothly on schedule. You can put your full trust in her to decorate anything you need and have every vendor on schedule so you never have to worry about anything.

I had numerous comments from my wedding party about how incredible they were to work with. My dad even told me recently that he was so impressed with everything that he'd do it all again just as it was.

Basically, if you're getting married in the near future, you're crazy not to hire them. I recommend them to anyone who will listen.

Sara made my day perfect, and most importantly, stress free!! Her and her staff were there to get anything and everything I needed, and I didn't have to worry about one thing. She also made my ceremony and reception absolutely beautiful!! I was in complete awe of how everything was decorated, and it looked like something you would see in a magazine. S&B Events is amazing!!

The second I got engaged, I knew that I would be contacting Sara to help plan my wedding. I'm in law school and live out of town, so I knew that I did not have a significant amount of time to dedicate to planning. Sara and Natalie had everything under control from day one, and I never questioned that the wedding would be perfect. People asked me over and over in the months leading up to the wedding whether I was stressed out -- and honestly, I was never stressed, even for a second (well, other than agonizing over the weather since everything was outside, but Sara and Natalie made me feel comfortable about that too). The wedding went off without a hitch and everyone who we've spoken with afterwards can't stop telling us how beautiful and perfect the day was. Even if you don't do anything else -- make sure that you hire S&B Events for the day of. Natalie was our day of and I can't tell you how nice it was to not have ANY worries, I just had to show up. She was fantastic and everything just went so smoothly. Do yourself a favor and hire them! I wouldn't change a thing.

We got married on 10/13/2018 at DeBordieu and started working with Sara about 11 months before our wedding. From the first phone call we had with her, we knew she would be able to help bring our vision of having an elegant, fun southern wedding to life! Throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding, Sara was extremely organized and responded quickly to all of our questions. She helped make timelines to keep us on track, set up necessary vendor meetings for us, provided a lot of thoughtful guidance throughout the process, and helped with all of the weekend and day-of logistics. Sara is very well connected to tons of wedding vendors in the Myrtle Beach/Georgetown area. Since she has worked with many different vendors, she can provide a lot of insight into who might be the best fit based on what you are looking for from a personality, style and budget standpoint. Sara is friendly, outgoing and clearly has a passion for her work! She makes sure the entire day runs smoothly and helps make your wedding look polished and come together with no stress for the bride. I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding, since I knew Sara had coordinated with all the vendors, was overseeing the set up, and made sure I had taken care of any last "to-dos" well before the wedding weekend. Do yourself a favor and hire Stunning & Brilliant Events to help coordinate your wedding day. They are simply AMAZING!

If you want a beautiful, tasteful, and elegant wedding, Sara McCall with Stunning and Brilliant Events is absolutely the must have person to plan your wedding. Sara s exquisite taste and wealth of experience made our wedding so incredibly beautiful that we are still getting calls from friends and family to get Sara's number so they could plan their events with her. Her unconditional help and advice, any time of the day and night, her unbelievable connections that helped us get the lowest prices on everything, and her amazing knowledge and love for this business absolutely overwhelmed us. She became a friend for life. Our wedding celebration was held at our beach front property on the Golden Mile in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Sara is absolutely outstanding! She made the wedding planning process so smooth for us and truly made our dreams a reality. She is so talented and amazing at what she does! On the day of my wedding Sara and Nicole made sure everything went smoothly and that I had no stress put on me. I will be forever thankful for all they did to make our Wedding day perfect!

This crew is the real deal, we highly recommend Stunning & Brilliant!! Having Nichole and Alyssa by our side for the month leading up to our big day was so amazing. From fielding questions from vendors, to the day-of timeline, I can't compliment their attention to detail enough. They thought of everything, and made what could have been a very stressful time a total breeze. They listened to our wishes, and had every single loose end tied up before wedding weekend arrived. They were an absolute blast to work with, they shared in our excitement and they managed to coordinate so many moving pieces - we were so impressed with them from start to finish!! I would advise any engaged couple to hire the Stunning & Brilliant team!!

By far, one of the best wedding planners that we've worked with. The staff is very professional and in tune with their client's needs. We know that everything is going to go smoothly once we find out that Sarah and her team are the planners.

We had the privilege of Sara and her talented team organizing and coordinating our wedding at The Grande Dunes Ocean Club, on July 2, 2016. It was truly a fabulous event, which everyone enjoyed with the professionalism and efficiencies you would expect from a Royal Wedding! With Sara and Caitlin, our vision, combined with their design expertise came to life. Sara s eye for detail, coupled with her management style, was always three steps ahead of anything ensuring everything was in place and on time! Sara is always professional, friendly, and confident. From our very first meeting, to any last minute requests there was never anything too difficult completely removing any stress or anxiety. Her recommendations of vendors, always spot on, and she has an amazing working relationship with each and every vendor. Finding ways to save money always a bonus! Our wedding day was much more than we had hope. We had high expectations and many small details that required coordinating, but with Sara and her team at the helm everything was more than perfect! If anyone is looking for the best in wedding planning, coordination, or directing . Look no further than Stunning and Brilliant Events! They will absolutely make your special day, or event joyful, fun, and perfect!

I can't imagine putting on my daughter's wedding without Sara McCall. Her attention to details and organization was well worth the expense of a wedding planner. She kept me calm and on track and having her allowed me to sit back and enjoy my daughter's wedding with no worries.

From our first meeting with Sara, my daughter and ...

From our first meeting with Sara, my daughter and I knew she was the right coordinator for us! She was always prepared for meetings and answered all of our questions promptly. One of the most important things that I found useful, were the many great vendors and contacts she put us in touch with. With her recommendations of flowers, venues, food, music, cake, and rentals, I felt very comfortable as I knew they were all 'tried and true' by many and the best options available! I would not have known WHERE to start without her input! The wedding went beautifully, and we were so grateful for all that Sara did to make it a perfect day!

Sara and her team are fantastic! We chose the full planning package, as I work full time and our wedding was out of town. I would highly recommend it! Sara is extremely well connected and organized. She helps you with every detail, no matter how big or small. She kept us on track with the budget (came out below budget thanks to her), and all the vendors and meetings, etc. Sara is very easy to work with, given her laid back personality, which is well accepted during the stressful wedding planning process. She is also very efficient, a "go getter", and always has your back. The best of both worlds! We are so thankful Sara and her team planned our big day. While there are always hiccups during wedding planning, they helped me handle them quickly and without drama. It went perfectly on the actual day, and we have Stunning & Brilliant Events to thank for it! Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality!

If you don t one want to worry about a single thing on your wedding day, hire Jacquie at Stunning & Brilliant Events in Charlotte!! Hiring Jacquie was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process and what a blessing she was. I never expected our wedding day to go as perfectly as it did and it is all because of Jacquie and her team. Her fun personality, attention to detail, and get it done work ethic is exactly what we needed and we would highly recommend her to any brides and grooms to be! She truly became a member of our family during this process and we can t thank her enough for everything she did for us.

I had Sara and natalie to help for my wedding day and for the months leading up to my wedding. Since I was an out of town bride it was very stressful at times to try and get things situated but with all of their help, i got it done! Any time that I needed to get a hold of them, I could! I loved having them around because I seriously didnt have any stress of wondering if things were going to fall into place very nicely. Everything was set up beautifully and if anything went wrong, I wasn't made aware of it! It was very fun and exciting and the night of the wedding things went perfect. if anything went wrong, I had no idea because natalie and my other helper/planner from the hotel did it all and made sure i didnt know of it. I would definately recommend S&B for anyone having a wedding or special occassional!

Sara and her staff were just fabulous. Every detail was taken care of and all the while, Sara had that infectious smile on her face with her calm, happy personality and was willing to do whatever to help. As the mother of the bride, I did not worry about anything from Thursday afternoon when my daughter and I went for manicures and pedicures through the wedding and reception on Saturday evening. We simply got all dressed up for each party and Sara and staff were always there to keep everything running smoothly. So much fun and no worries! If I had another daughter, I would most definitely have Sara and Stunning and Brilliant Events handle the wedding from start to finish. Sara, you are simply The Best. I give you 5+++ stars!

My mother submitted the following review after we used the "Stunning Day" Package, and I agree 100%: "As a mother of the bride I thought Sara was perfect! Yes, 5 stars in every category. She helped my daughter plan; allowing her to express her own individuality, and assisting in so many ways, from the biggest, "I can get a tent, I have peeps," when it started raining the day before, to the smallest details that made all the difference. Flexible? You betcha! We threw last minute requests at her and she handled it with grace. And best of all her poise, composure, and confidence rubbed off on the bride so she could relax and enjoy her day. If you want a stunning and brilliant wedding hire Sara and you won't be disappointed."

Sara, Tia & Jacquie were wonderful! They took care of all the little details and last minute issues so we could focus on having a wonderful time and enjoying all the special day was about! So glad we decided to use their services -- it was definitely the perfect ("Stunning & Brilliant") wedding day thanks to them!

Sara is a calm, pleasant and dedicated guide through the planning process. She is also extremely efficient and works well with vendors.
Her crew is just as patient and professional.
She and her team did an amazing job the day of the wedding! We only had to be joyful and have a wonderful celebration.
Her theme song could be "Don't Worry Be Happy".

I don't even know where to start on how amazing Sara and her team at Stunning & Brillant Events are! Stunning & Brillant Events handled day-of coordination for my wedding last month and were hands down the best money we spent on the wedding. I was so nervous and stressed about how things would go that weekend, and not only did the entire weekend turn out beautifully and far surpass my expectations, but I was able to have fun and relax knowing that the Stunning & Brillant Events team was handling everything! I would highly, highly recommend them to anyone that needs help with wedding planning or coordination, including local brides and brides like I am that are out-of-town.

Sara and I worked together for the entirety of my wedding planning (11 months) and I would do it all over again if I could. She made the planning process easy and fun. I love how open and honest she was with me when it came to choosing vendors, picking out color schemes, decorations, flowers, literally everything.
The night before our wedding, Sara and her staff did an amazing job walking us through the rehearsal and setting up a beautiful rehearsal dinner. They are always on time and pay close attention to every detail.

On our wedding day, I anticipated to be a nervous wreck and stressed to the max. I put all of my trust into Sara and her team and I had zero anxieties all day. I was able to soak up every second and every memory from that day and not worry about anything. I will forever be grateful for everything S&B did for me and for making my dream wedding come to life.

I highly recommend using S&B Events for ANY event you have coming up. They put their clients first and can make anything happen. Thank you Sara and S&B staff for giving me the best day of my life! I will forever be thankful for each and every one of you ladies!

Sarah and her team are THE BEST. It's as simple as that. She truly saved us more money than we spent on her services. I have never used an event planner and now I'm not sure why I would ever NOT use one. The usual stress, especially with last minute errands and preparations was nonexistent. Hannah was with us on site the entirety of our event and of course before and she was the best. She made every detail perfect and even helped us load our car at the end. If you are throwing an event, I promise you, you need the help of the ladies at Stunning and Brilliant.

I had the best experience working with Sara and her team!! The wedding went through seamlessly and was so beautiful. Sara was extremely helpful with any needs before and during the wedding and was able to perfectly capture my vision of the day. After the wedding, I had several bridesmaids comment on how the whole day was organized so well compared to other weddings they have been in. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a wedding planner!

I had Kristen and Jennifer as my coordinators for the my wedding day and for the month leading up to my wedding. Being an out of town bride, it was a huge relief to be in their good hands! They were on top of everything and had a very calming, reassuring demeanor that was a huge help to not only me but my mom as well! Everything was set up beautifully and if anything went wrong, I wasn't made aware of it! It was very relaxing to know that they were taking care of everything! Leading up to the wedding we didn't meet in person as I live out of town but had a long phone call to go over everything I had arranged up to that point. Once the wedding was a month away, they took it from there with all of my vendors and came up with a full run of show for the day! They cay went off without a hitch and I can't thank the girls enough!! I would recommend them to any bride to be!!

Sara and her whole team are AMAZING! Planning our wedding with Sara was a stress free and fun experience! The hardest thing was trying to pick from all of her awesome vendors - everyone she recommended was incredible!! We had an outdoor wedding at my family's private property planned. The weather did not cooperate with us at all, but Sara remained calm and helped us pull off and unforgettable night!! :)

I absolutely loved working with Sara and her team!...

I absolutely loved working with Sara and her team!! They were absolutely fabulous through every step of the process!! As someone who doesn't live in South Carolina I know my wedding wouldn't have been possible! They are very friendly, super professional, full of great ideas and had great advice and support around vendors and logistics! The day-of (weekend-of) coordination of the wedding details was absolutely fabulous and left me with nothing to worry about -- it was absolutely stress free and PERFECT!! :)

We were totally impressed with Sara, Kristen, and Erin. Ya ll are truly the Pros from Dover . You gave our daughter the wedding of her dreams and we will never forget. No request or problem was too small or too great. Each request was met with a can do attitude and accomplished quickly and as we asked.

Sara, Natalie, and the whole S & B team made our day more perfect than I could have ever imagined! We were in the planning stages with Sara for around 18 months and she held my hand the entire way. Our guest list started at over 600 (!!!) and Sara never batted an eye. We eventually got it down to a more "reasonable" 420, and she and her team carried off the most perfect wedding I've ever seen (I'm only a little biased ;) ). Before our big day, Sara was in constant contact with me and I never had the need to worry or panic about all of the details coming together because I knew she had it handled. My fiance and I live 3 hours away from the venue (Debordieu Club), and it made me nervous to not be close by, but Sara handled everything perfectly and just as me and my type A personality would have if I had been there myself ;). I honestly could go on and on, but I'll leave it at this: even my father, who paid for everything, still talks about how great Sara and her team are nearly 3 months after our wedding! He's used the phrase "worth their weight in gold" more than once. I wouldn't dream of throwing an event in the Carolinas (or anywhere else, for that matter) without hiring Stunning and Brilliant Events!

Sara and her team at Stunnning & Brilliant Events,...

Sara and her team at Stunnning & Brilliant Events, LLC are just that - Stunning and Brilliant! Sara Barnhill is not only beautiful on the outside, she is lovely on the inside as well and made my entire family and wedding party feel welcome, up to speed on all weekend activities, and made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be.

Aside from the wedding being asthetically beautiful, from what we know, vendors were on time and did exactly what was asked of them, rentals arrived in one piece and to the specs we discussed, and everything went off without a hitch (except for Krystal closing two days before our wedding, so our late night food became Bojangles :)

Highly recommending Sara and her team would be an understatment! If you want the best of the best, and someone you can count on throughout your entire planning process, Stunning & Brilliant Events, LLC is the one-stop-shop for you. Being someone who had to plan from afar - Washington, DC, to be exact - I know my entire family, and our friends, would echo that our wedding was stunning, brilliant, and most importantly a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives!

Thank you, thank you Sara and S&B! You will always be a part of our special day.

Sarah and her team did an amazing job helping us get through the wedding process as stress free as possible from start to finish. Every email was returned in a timely manner and her professionalism without being stuffy or overbearing was remarkable. She and her team were very creative as I trusted them to do what they thought was going to look fabulous. I would highly recommend Stunning and Brilliant Events for any event you want to be outstanding,

My wedding literally could NOT have happened without Stunning and Brilliant Events. We got married in the middle of Hurricane Matthew and Sara and Caitlin kept everything calm, handled all the stress, and did it with smiles on their faces. They are seriously the dream team and made my day perfect, even with the storm! They went ABOVE AND BEYOND and I am forever grateful.

I'm sure Sara is great and well suited for small scale events that are simple like birthday parties and simpler weddings. But a larger production of a wedding? She was in way over her head. And she even admitted it as she quit via email halfway through and left me hung out to dry and with nothing but a new Pinterest board and a looming wedding in 5 months while I'm living 3000 miles away. So that was fun to navigate.

Stunning and Brilliant met every expectation to make the day so very special. They are incredibly organized and extremely efficient in all prep work and implementation of plans. I would highly recommend their services.

Sara and her team at S & B Events were friendly, energetic and organized. My husband and I planned our Myrtle Beach wedding from Boston and we were a little nervous about how everything would come together. Once we decided to work with S & B Events, those worries were gone. From the moment we met Sara in her office, she was excited to be a part of our special day and enthusiastic about our ideas. We went with the "Stunning Day" package and felt that Sara went above and beyond just the day of. She emailed us often to check in on the planning process; she was always fast to respond to any of our questions or concerns. Sara also put together a weekend agenda for vendors and the wedding party, communicated with the vendors during the month leading up to the wedding, and organized the rehearsal. Sara and her team gave us peace of mind and brought everything together beautifully! On the morning of the wedding, we had a laundry list of things that needed to be set up (center pieces, chair ties, favors, ceremony decorations, etc). Sara and her team brought everything together and didn t miss a single detail. They exceeded our expectations beyond anything that we could have ever imagined. It was so nice to have Sara and her team there to make sure everything happened smoothly. It took the pressure off of our families so that everyone could relax and enjoy themselves. The day truly was Stunning, our family is raving about the weekend, and we are SO thankful for S & B Events!!
