Sara McCallCEOStunning and Brilliant Events

The mastermind behind it all, Sara McCall formed Stunning and Brilliant Events in 2010. With 15 years in the industry, she is pretty much a walking wedding encyclopedia. She landed in the event planning business after booking her first wedding for just $450 and using her mom and friend as free labor! From there she began marketing what has become the pinnacle of southern event planning. Because she has so much time on her hands running a national company, she's also added these titles to her repertoire: Producer of The Grand Strand Bridal Expo, Founder of Lemon or Lime, Wedding MBA Educator, and Coastal Carolina University Alumni of The Year 2023.

Stunning & Brilliant Events is a luxury & experienced full-service wedding and event planning company across the United States. We have been named best of The Knot weddings for over a decade and have been published in Southern Bride Magazine and featured on NBC Sports. We have meticulously planned large corporate events, red carpet premieres, storybook weddings and intimate birthday celebrations including clients associated with Nascar, Waffle House, Cheerwine, Tory Burch, Lauren Alaina, Domino's Pizza, WWE, and Tanger Outlets. We work with some of the most respected vendors and rely on those relationships to ensure a seamless event.
