Meet the FOUNDER

With over two decades in the wedding and event industry, Sara Gillianne is no stranger to excellence. A seasoned planner with a natural eye for elegance and an obsession for detail, Sara Gillianne built her reputation on creating seamless, sophisticated events that feel as effortless as they are unforgettable.

Her journey began in weddings—where she not only planned countless dream days but also met her husband, Damien, a guest at one of her events. Today, they share a beautifully full life with their four children, spanning ages 4 to 27. After stepping away from professional planning to focus on her growing family, Sara Gillianne found herself once again immersed in the world of events—this time orchestrating elaborate celebrations for friends, family, and her own children. The response was always the same: “That was completely over the top.”

And so, Over the Top Events was born.

Built on the belief that every event deserves to be extraordinary, Over the Top Events specializes in high-impact corporate functions, refined brand launches, birthday celebrations and elegant social experiences for adults who appreciate the art of entertaining. Despite the playful name, there’s nothing whimsical about the execution—luxury is in every detail. From the first consultation to the final moment of applause, Sara Gillianne brings vision to life with intention, polish, and a deep understanding of how to elevate a moment into a memory.

With Sara Gillianne at the helm, clients receive not only exceptional design and seamless logistics, but a partner who understands the power of a well-executed event—and how it reflects the brand, message, or host behind it.

Let’s create something remarkable. Let’s make your event Over the Top.
