Simply, Sabrina is brilliant.
We found her by chance through her husband Jules (who was our photographer), and we couldn’t have been happier. We’re from London and were planning an Indian wedding in Italy with 150 people—not an easy task! From driving us around Tuscany to finding only the best wedding venues, to sitting through our tastings (and finding us the best Indian caterer in Tuscany!), to choosing a florist that created a mandap and centerpieces that left our guests in awe—Sabrina simply didn’t miss a trick, and only the best was good enough for her.
At the wedding, she made sure our guests had everything they wanted and found us an incredible DJ who played both Indian and English songs. As a result, everyone at the wedding could not stop telling us how much fun they had.
A special shoutout to Jules—our wedding photos are magical and capture every special moment so naturally.
I could go on and on, but simply put—our food was the best, our party was incredible, our flowers were mesmerizing, the venue was perfection, and our photographer and videographer were brilliant.
Sabrina is truly the best.

Hands down could not have asked for a better partnership than working with Sabrina at The Extraordinaire!
When we set out to start planning our wedding in Tuscany, my husband and I knew that we would need help locally as we were based in London. We researched and spoke to five wedding planners / agencies via Zoom, but when we spoke to Sabrina we felt an immediate connection. She quickly was able to understand us as a couple and the vision that we had for the day. Everything felt personal with Sabrina as she was invested in the vision day one, and we never felt like we were just another client.
Sabrina’s connections and relationships with local vendors is unbeatable. She knows absolutely everyone, having worked with her partners for many years, so you can be confident that things will run smoothly and not a single detail will be missed. They all went above and beyond to execute our perfect day.
With her deep knowledge of the local industry and professional experience, Sabrina has a keen eye for detail and excellent taste. She is straightforward and will tell you exactly what she thinks. This was so helpful for us, especially when picking out tableware, decor, and our menu because we had so many options to choose from. It was good to have someone who’s seen all the possible combinations and could recommend the best.
On the day of the wedding, I was able to fully focused on spending time with my bridesmaids, getting ready, and not worrying about the execution. Sabrina managed the day end-to-end.
The vineyard we selected had not previously hosted any weddings or large-scale events, so this was a first for them, and Sabrina worked with them closely to ensure everything ran smoothly. Suffice it to say, we received so many compliments about the venue and the event from our guests that I don’t think the day could have gone any better. We even had an inquiry about planning an event for one of the guests the following month!
We had a great experience with The Extraordinaire and would 100% recommend Sabrina!
