Sarah Narcus, Founder
Sarah, a Boston native, has been planning events of all sizes for more than 15 years.  Her background in planning events started in the nonprofit industry in 2004, when she was responsible for coordinating the annual Shake it for Shelter fundraising event at COMPASS for Kids for several years.  At Cradles to Crayons for over three years, Sarah oversaw all of the organization's signature events, including the 700-person annual Backpack-a-thon and the largest fundraiser of the year, the "Un-Gala".  Sarah also worked at Facing History and Ourselves, where she planned their annual 900-person benefit dinner and advised their ten company offices on event strategy and execution.

Sarah is proud to serve as a founding board member of the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund, overseeing the event planning and logistics for their annual nonprofit fundraiser, the Boston River Run, which raises more than $25,000 and hosts more than 500 participants each year.

Sarah's newest venture is an event space that she launched called Olio.  Since founding Without A Hitch in 2013, Sarah has worked with more than 250 celebrants and their families. Her energy and enthusiasm are matched only by her love of logistics, teamwork, and day-of event coordination.
