Small Shindigs supports fun-loving couples in creating intimate wedding celebrations filled with meaningful connection. Through logistic & creative planning, I connect with couples to create a day that’s an authentic reflection of them to celebrate alongside those they love & cherish most.

 

WHAT I VALUE MOST

Connection

Connection is at the core of all that Small Shindigs stands for. Each intimate wedding is approached as a place to celebrate the culmination of connections that have led to this moment. Our family + friend relationships shape who we are, and weddings are the place to savor these connections through meaningful experiences.

Fun-Loving

We love to work with those who live with joy in their hearts, aren't afraid to go against the grain a little, and think outside the box to see how we can approach this day in a nontraditional, modern way.

 
 
 

1-On-1 Interaction

Keeping it small is a theme around here. Clients of Small Shindigs enjoy personal interaction and one sole point of contact throughout the entire wedding experience with me, Sarah! It’s important to me that you feel 110% supported throughout this journey. I’ll be here to bounce ideas off of, lend a second set of eyes on contracts, place a last-minute hair pin day-of, and anything else you need.

Meet Sarah Carroll

Hi there, friend! I’m so glad you’re here.

Over the years I've worked in industries including hospitality, the arts, and tech. While the types of events have varied, the common thread has always been the people. Small Shindigs was created out of a desire to bring people together and I believe that intimate gatherings foster the best connections. After years of doing events for up to 1,800 people, I've realized that big moments happen in small spaces. 

When planning my own wedding, my husband and I decided a super small ceremony at home would be special for us, before we threw our *big shindig* with more guests. So, I know from first-hand experience how impactful tiny celebrations can be. 

I love working with couples who really want to let their personalities shine, because at the end of the day, my goal is make sure your wedding feels *like you*.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

01.
When I’m not planning weddings, you can usually find me hanging outdoors or hiking with my husband, my two awesome boys, and our sweet husky pup Chance.

02.
My favorite cocktail is a Negroni and it’s actually the first drink my husband and I had on our wedding day. Definitely felt a little risky to be drinking something red in a white dress!

03.
I love experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen and am especially fond of anything Alison Roman.
