Tara’s professional journey launched on the stages and in the ballrooms of Walt Disney World, where she performed in entertainment before transitioning into Catering and Convention Services, and ultimately Disney’s Fairytale Weddings. There, she learned how to blend logistics with spectacle: making the magic run on schedule.

From Disney’s enchanted venues, Tara moved to Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, refining her expertise in large-scale Convention Services. Her next act led her to the Tennessee Titans, where she built the organization’s private and full-stadium event operations from the ground up; designing systems, teams, and unforgettable guest experiences worthy of a standing ovation.

With a seasoned producer’s discipline and a showman’s soul, she founded The Greatest Show Event Management Co., a company dedicated to creating experiences that don’t just entertain, but leave audiences inspired.

Today, The Greatest Show Events operates not under a tent or marquee, but across boardrooms, ballrooms, arenas, and corporate stages, crafting events where precision meets wonder, and every guest feels like they’ve witnessed something extraordinary.

That foundation carried Emily into fast-paced, brand-driven environments, where she sharpened her operational approach and leadership skills. Overseeing large-scale visual reset teams for Apple Inc. strengthened her ability to lead teams, manage complex systems, and execute with precision under tight timelines.

Emily later brought that experience into large-scale live production at Getty Music Label, supporting conferences, concerts, and international touring operations. She played a key role in producing the Sing! Conference in Nashville, a multi-day event welcoming more than 10,000 attendees, and supported touring and concert productions across the U.S. and abroad, including events at Gaylord Opryland, Carnegie Hall, Bridgestone Arena and the SSE Arena in Belfast.

At The Greatest Show Event Management Co., Emily brings her background in large-scale production, touring, and operational leadership to every event. Working behind the scenes, she ensures each experience runs smoothly, confidently, and exactly as intended.

Over the years, Sari has been part of creating and executing events for groups ranging from intimate gatherings of five people to large-scale programs with more than 10,000 guests, and pretty much everything in between. From meetings and special events to transportation movements, off-site experiences, and complex multi-day programs, she loves taking all the moving pieces and figuring out how to make them come together seamlessly.

No matter the size of the event, Sari believes the most important part is always the experience. She approaches every program by thinking about both the client and the guest and what they will see, how they will feel, and all the little details that can turn a good event into a memorable one. Her favorite moment is when months of planning finally become reality and she gets to see the smile, excitement, and sometimes complete awe on a client’s face when they walk into the finished experience for the first time. That moment never gets old.

And while she loves the creative side of events, she may love the logistical puzzle just as much. Moving thousands of people around a city, coordinating dozens of vehicles, or making sure hundreds of attendees get from point A to point B and into the right meeting at exactly the right time? To Sari, it’s one giant game of Tetris and figuring out how all the pieces fit together is part of the fun.

At the end of the day, Sari’s approach is simple: take care of the client, think through the details, create an incredible experience, and be ready to solve whatever comes your way. Because in the events world, there is always something and that’s exactly what keeps it interesting.
