THE "CELEBRATE WITH SARAH" BRAND 

The Celebrate with Sarah brand was inspired by the joyful feeling you get with dessert in one hand and a glass of pink champagne in the other. ​​​

Celebrate With Sarah began as a dessert business to fill an immediate need to make money. A partnership in a previous business dissolved and left me in a very unfortunate situation financially, emotionally, and physically. I operated under a different name and two years later rebranded to expand my vision of encompassing all things “celebration.” I realized that with my background in the hospitality industry, my passion wasn’t about creating the actual cupcakes, but instead, the feeling people get from eating them and admiring their dessert table that was crafted with the highest attention to detail and charm.

WHY NASHVILLE?

Music was my real first love in Nashville. I love the people and the energy you feel walking down the streets of Broadway with artist after artist trying to make a name for themselves. You don’t go to too many places jam packed with such talent. I also fell in love with the charm of Nashville. Fun people who love country music and eating great food?! What’s not to like!

Then my business brain turned on. There are more groups of women here celebrating parties than I’d ever seen anywhere else. I wanted to make their Nashville experience better, and I knew based on my experience there and my experience in hospitality and events, that I could. But it wasn’t going to be through dessert catering. After many months of research and creative planning, here we are getting ready to launch a full Celebration House for girls’ trips!

HOW WE GIVE BACK

Our mission, above and beyond creating this quaint experience for a getaway to Nashville, is to help pass on that feeling to those who may never get to experience anything even close to a white glove hospitality experience through our support of The Sarah Annelise Foundation.

For as long as I can remember, I envisioned creating a company that had a socially conscious core. What’s the point of making money if you aren’t doing something good with it? When I thought about expanding my brand, I knew this piece of my heart had to be involved on a scale that could make a difference. A portion of all profits from CWS Hospitality will be going towards The Sarah Annelise Foundation, an organization I created several years ago to develop and implement projects locally and around the world to serve the growth and education of children with the bare essentials needed to thrive. Past projects include 10 different projects throughout South Africa, Zambia and Botswana over two different trips.

I truly believe that sometimes the best things can come from the worst if you work hard enough, and I am passionate about celebrating both the losses and the victories. I hope to continue to share my entrepreneurial and personal story to prove that even when 5 things go wrong, 10 can go right, and a few other things will come up that weren’t even on the radar. In my wildest dreams, I never would have imagined I would be working on a project like this.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SARAH

“My family and I met Sarah three years ago. During the time we have known her, I have become deeply impressed with both her and her business. She is constantly striving to perfect her craft and grow her business, she visibly supports other local business owners, and she finds time to support the community and participate in charitable endeavors. She has a meticulous attention to detail; however, her success is ultimately linked to how deeply she cares for her customers. It is this connection to people that will continue to lead to Sarah’s success.”

Annalisa Pizzarello, Chief Transformation Officer at Amgen

“Sarah’s work ethic is untouchable. I’ve never seen someone hustle so hard, or work towards achieving their goals more than Sarah. Her kindness radiates to those around her and inspires others to do good in this world and work towards their goals in a way that would make Sarah proud. I have no doubt Sarah will continue to do amazing things with her life. Taking chances is scary but Sarah is always ready to take the plunge into greatness.
Hunter King, Actor - The Young and the Restless (Summer Newman),  Life in Pieces

According to the RedAwning.com report:

• “Over the past five years, accommodation demand in Nashville has grown faster than any other Top 30 U.S. city, despite the state’s spiritless attempts to tighten up city vacation rental ordinances.

• “In 2013, Nashville’s central business district (CBD) sold 2.1M nights. By 2018, demand had swelled to 3.2M nights, growing 55% over the five-year period - a huge demand for vacation rentals, corporate housing and furnished apartments making significant headway on that of the traditional hotel sector.”
• "Major corporations including Amazon have announced plans to open corporate offices in Nashville's Business District which will be huge for the tourism market in Nashville," said RedAwning's VP of Market Development, Johnathan Robinson. "This is an exciting time for Nashville Property Managers looking to increase their market share."
