Sara Fay Egan is president and CEO of Beale Street Blues Company, a hospitality and restaurant group and entertainment company. Sara Fay, originally from Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from the School of Journalism and New Media at the University of Mississippi. After graduating, Sara Fay moved to Dallas, Texas, where she spent over nine years planning, designing, and executing weddings and events both locally and nationally as the national sales director and director of weddings for Todd Events. Sara Fay opened Jackson Durham Floral and Event Design in 2012 and ran the company until she sold her ownership in 2019. At that time, she opened Sara Fay Egan Events, which specialized in planning a limited number of high-end destination weddings.

Her understanding of all aspects of the hospitality industry has elevated her to a sought-after expert in the field. Her experiences in event planning, starting and owning businesses, and now running her family business—combined with her unbelievable personal and life experiences—compelled her to write this book. But family is most important to Sara Fay. She and her husband, Merrick, have two children, Grace, thirteen, and Walker, ten, and she feels compelled to tell her stories and share lessons of family, life, and business.
