As event planners based in Maine with a background in large-scale event design, METICULOUS LOGISTICS ARE JUST OUR STARTING POINT – but meaningful experiences are our true signature.

We create events infused with emotional depth and thoughtful detail throughout the planning process all the way through to your final event, designed to genuinely reflect who you are and what matters most, to you.

We believe that truly great events require more than a collection of vendors and Instagram-able table settings. What truly sets your event apart is how it makes people feel.

Private Events

Private Events

You could plan everything yourself, but you don’t have to. And we’d argue the most important role you can play is host. We respect that your event is an important occasion for you which is why we don’t just listen; we translate your values and personality into every element, so your event feels intentional, personal, and effortless. We expertly handle every detail so you can be fully present for every meaningful moment.

Non-Profit
& Corporate Events

Your organization has concrete goals and priorities; great events can help you achieve them. SRS Event Design is your strategic and creative partner to plan events with impact. We create events infused with emotional depth and thoughtful detail throughout the planning process all the way through to your final event, designed to genuinely reflect who you are and what matters most to your organization.

Multi-Day Gatherings

Planning a three-day reunion or corporate retreat is very different than a one-night party – you need a planner who understands that. SRS Event Design has years of experience planning multi-day events for hundreds, with all the unique logistics that come along with them.

Reviews

SRS Event Design is so much more than an event planner. Sarah worked with us to uncover the true heart and vision for our 50th Anniversary Gala and brought that to life through every aspect of event planning – from big picture concepts such as overall aesthetic, down to the smallest details of the guest experience. Sarah’s leadership style is deeply collaborative and creative. She is the rare kind of event planner who not only will execute a flawless event, but who is also a true visionary.

–Alaena, Director of Development

“Sarah and her team are amazing! Somehow, they understood what we imagined for our event even better than we possibly could have communicated. Everything was beautiful and they set the exact tone for the event that we hoped.”

–Polly, Mother of a Bat Mitzvah

“From the months of pre-planning to the night of the party, Sarah’s design sense and organization allowed us to take the back seat to the logistics and instead spend time looking forward to seeing our guests.”

–Stephanie, mother of the Groom

Hi, I’m Sarah Rose Schechter (SRS).
I have over twenty years of experience planning and producing events ranging from small scale private functions to large, multi-day gatherings.

I am also trained in the culinary arts and worked for many years in catering and as a private chef. My lived experience in the front and back of the house gives me a deep understanding of the essential requirements of a successful event.

Life has taught me that there are so many experiences we don’t get to choose, and the world can be unpredictable and challenging – so when we get the opportunity, the choice, to gather and celebrate we should do so excellently.
