Daniel MedinaHow lucky I was when I found her!!!!!! I can NOT thank her enough.
Sabrina was everything in my wedding. You can tell she loves what she does from the first day you get in contact with her, and you notice it in all of the recommendations she gives you. She strives for her brides’ dream weddings.
Since day one, I felt the connection I needed with her as my wedding planner, even though we were working together from very far away. I live in Miami, and my dream wedding was an Italian wedding. It took me hours and hours of searching, but it was all worth it when I saw her website and got in contact with such a dedicated wedding planner.
Trust me when I say that she will never disappoint you… NEVER. She has so much experience and knowledge that she will find you the best vendors to work with, and you will end up loving their work too.
Sabrina, you’re simply the best wedding planner!!!

I can’t even imagine how to start planning a wedding in Italy from London without Sabrina!
Our wedding was wonderful, everyone had a fabulous time, and Sabrina was a 10/10.
We visited several venues with Sabrina before choosing the lovely villa near Cortona. The church and civil ceremonies went smoothly. Sabrina helped with everything from paperwork, venue, food, florist, hairdresser, makeup artist, music, to photographer. She even drove the vintage Fiat 500 up a steep hill to the church in her platform shoes because my dad was too scared to drive the car!
Thank you, Sabrina, for the wonderful memories and laughter to last a lifetime.

Thanks to Sabrina, we had the most perfect wedding. Without her, it simply wouldn’t have been possible.
She assisted with everything, from the Church to the venue and every detail of each. She consistently advised us, put us at ease, and took so much stress away.
She was there until the early hours of the morning, making sure everything ran smoothly and creating the most incredible setting for our evening meal. Our guests still talk about this and the unbelievably good catering.
She was a delight to work with and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get married in Italy.

If you are planning an Italian wedding and looking for the BEST wedding planner, do not hesitate to work with Sabrina!!
I cannot express how amazing she is to work with and how truly special she made every part of planning my dream wedding weekend at Villa Valentini Bonaparte. It turned out better than I could have ever imagined, and so many of our guests have told us, “It was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.”
From our initial calls, Sabrina always gave me her full attention and listened carefully to what I was trying to achieve for our wedding day. She always went above and beyond to ensure that everything we wanted for our wedding would happen, and any request we had, she made it happen.
Sabrina is always in good communication, and she also has a great sense of humor, which makes what could be a stressful planning process easy and fun! Sabrina takes care of everything, and you just don’t need to worry about anything. We live in Dubai, so planning an Italian wedding from here would have been impossible without her.
Additionally, Sabrina works with the best vendors and has a very trusted team of suppliers around her. Everyone seems to work together so well as a team—which is SO essential when planning your big day.
Sabrina’s husband, Jules Bower, is an INCREDIBLE wedding photographer—so of course, he was our first choice to capture the special memories of our big day. Having both Sabrina and Jules together made us feel like we truly had the ultimate dream team.
I trusted ALL of Sabrina’s recommendations when it came to the big day, from our incredible florist (Nadia from Stiatti Fiori), to our wedding band Gerry Gennarelli, our DJ Matthew, our videographers Gattotigre—just EVERYTHING was perfect and to the highest of standards.
On our wedding day (June 17th, 2022), we were hit with a crazy and unexpected HAIL storm—the hailstones were as big as golf balls! This all happened approximately three hours before our wedding ceremony was due to start. During this commotion, all of the vendors rallied around to sweep up the mess, change locations, and worked tirelessly in the pouring rain. They did the most incredible job of not letting ANYTHING stand in the way of delivering the most beautiful ceremony, wedding dinner, party, and just a perfect day!!!
I really cannot thank you enough, Sabrina. You made mine and Jay’s wedding the fairytale we have always wished for, and we are grateful from the bottom of our hearts! We just wish we could do it all over again!
If you have any doubts about who to choose for planning your Italian wedding—don’t. Sabrina is the BEST, and you will not regret it!
