Hi! I'm Dr. Barbie, but we're going to party together so please, call me Sarah. 

I'm the owner and Chief Sparkle Officer of Glitter Cactus Concierge & Event Planning, where luxury experiences, over-the-top details, and desert magic collide. 

I've spent more than 25 years creating unforgettable experiences as a teacher, school leader, performer, and event producer. I earned my Ph.D. in the Psychology of Cognition & Instruction, studying what makes people feel confident, connected, engaged, and transformed through experience. 

Translation? I understand people. 

I know how environments change moods. I know how details become memories. I know how to make people feel welcomed, celebrated, relaxed, seen, and completely taken care of. 

I've planned everything from large-scale festivals, performances, retreats, and graduation ceremonies to luxury girls trips, themed parties, dog birthdays, and magical vacation rental welcome experiences. 

Honestly, I've always done this. I'm the friend who starts decorating 8 hours before the party and leaves after cleaning up 8 hours after it ends. I'm the friend who somehow finds synchronized swimmers, custom rhinestone garlands, a pink disco camel, and the perfect cake vendor by midnight. At my own bridal shower the psychic cancelled at 8 am and I had a new one by noon. True Story. 

I don't know how to "do." I only know how to overdo. 

My clients don't hire me because they can't throw a party. They hire me because they finally get to sit down and enjoy it. I started this buisness for busy women, over-worked moms, bachelorettes, boss ladies, travelers, and celebration-loving humans who want something that feels magical, personal, and completely unforgettable. 

At Glitter Cacus we Believe: 

• Every occasion deserves a party

• Dog birthdays matter

• Party people are the best people

• Your 50th birthday should be wilder than your 21st

• Details ARE the experience

• The desert is magic

• No one should have to stress through their own celebration

You just met your wildly overqualified best friend with a clipboard, flamingo pen, and purse full of glitter. Welcome to Glitter Cactus. You bring the vision, I'll make it sparkle.
