Transcend the Expected

“Transcend Marketing & Events has been my go-to events company since its founding in 2008. It started when I hired Sarah to plan and execute the first Big Sky Night (The Montana Party at the Democratic National Convention in Denver). Since then Sarah and her team have designed and managed four large-scale production events for the State of Montana at the Democratic National Conventions and Presidential Inaugurations, coordinated client conferences on Capitol Hill as well as managed my firm and personal events. Simply put – I trust her with every event that reflects on me or my business.”

Shannon Finley, Founding Partner, Capitol Counsel

“I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah for over a decade, and I can confidently say she is one of the most talented full-service event managers I have ever encountered. Her attention to detail, creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence consistently shine through in every project she handles. Whether it’s a large corporate event or an intimate gathering, Sarah brings a level of professionalism and organization that ensures everything runs smoothly. She has an exceptional ability to anticipate needs, manage logistics, and create seamless unique experiences for everyone involved. I have trusted her with some of the most important events at Sandy Hook Promise, and she has never disappointed. If you are looking for someone who goes above and beyond to make every event unforgettable, Sarah is the person you want on your team.“

Nicole Hockley, Co-Founder and CEO, Sandy Hook Promise
