NEC AdministratorSabrina is just simply the best!
She has an encyclopedic knowledge of suppliers—from florists to car hire—and uses her experience and intuitive understanding of the couple to find the perfect companies, saving so much time and expense.
She is great fun to work with and knows just when to take control and when to leave a couple to their discussions, before skillfully steering everyone to a decision!
Her work ethic is amazing—on the day she is there from early to late, and she is a real perfectionist, letting no detail escape her. Her organization is seamless, and she is discreet but always present, ensuring everything runs smoothly. We trusted her implicitly, knowing she had everything under control, allowing us to just enjoy our weekend partying with our friends without worrying at all about the practicalities.
She thinks of the small things that add the finishing touches. She even went out and bought lemons herself at the last minute to create a colorful and impactful centerpiece for each table at the pizza party the day after the wedding. Visually, it made such an impact for so little cost and just shows her utter dedication to making everything as special and perfect as she can.
Shame we can’t do it all over again!

We had so many ideas and thoughts on what we wanted for our wedding—ranging from location, food, decorations, furniture, flowers, down to the last detail—and yet Sabrina helped us find everything we asked for and then some!
Sabrina is a wonderful person to work with. She really guides you in the right direction and makes you feel comfortable and safe when making all the decisions needed to enjoy the fun and exciting process of planning and executing a wedding—in our case, in Italy.
Our wedding turned into magic, and we truly believe that Sabrina and her staff made it happen!

Sabrina is extraordinary. She is one of the most professional people we’ve ever worked with. From our initial video meeting until saying our farewells at the brunch after our weekend was over, she filled us with confidence, excitement, and ease throughout the entire process.
Once we provided her with our initial ideas on location and event type, she got to work providing us with venue options to suit our needs. We narrowed it down and decided on Villa Valentini Bonaparte. This property allowed our immediate family and wedding party to stay on-site and offered multiple event locations to make use of. Sabrina showed us photos, videos, and connected us with the owners, and the planning took off. Living abroad from the location during the planning process, Sabrina made it easy. She made herself available to us so often that we felt like we were talking with a friend.
During the time we visited her prior to our wedding weekend, she was gracious with her time—taking us to see the venue, choose exquisite flowers, enjoy incredible cuisine tastings, and complete a hair and makeup trial. We designed the look for each of the three days, making each one feel unique, memorable, and custom for us.
She made decisions easy, provided us with talented vendors to work with, and ensured the event was beautiful from start to finish. If there was a problem, we were unaware of it. She and her team made us feel like we were guests while we were hosting, all without having to do any of the leg work.
We will forever be grateful to Sabrina and her team for creating the weekend of a lifetime for our families in Tuscany. Thank you!

Sabrina and her team provided a level of service that far exceeded our expectations.
Planning a wedding in Italy from a distance can be a massive challenge, and I can honestly say that without Sabrina’s hard work and guidance, we would never have had the magical wedding we did.
Her years of experience in the industry clearly shine through when it comes to ensuring the highest quality final product.
I would highly recommend Sabrina and her team.

We don’t know where to begin, but thanking Sabrina is not enough!
My husband and I still remember our first meeting online, where we felt comfortable with Sabrina right from the start. A couple of months later during our visit, we got to meet her in person and felt even closer. We really appreciated that Sabrina took the time to meet with us and had planned meetings with different vendors.
It was very pleasant working with Sabrina throughout the entire duration of the wedding weekend planning, where she turned our vision into a reality and a fairytale wedding. Not only was she responding to WhatsApp messages right away, but she was also getting the job done quickly and efficiently while keeping us up to date. Meeting with her online was very smooth (even with a 6-hour time difference).
Our guests and families were very impressed with the organization and presentation of the events. Sabrina is very professional, talented, has outstanding taste, is fun to work with, and passionate about the work she does. Wedding planning was not stressful thanks to Sabrina and her superpower skills.
It was a pleasure to have her as our wedding orchestrator. She is truly extraordinaire! We got to enjoy every moment during the different events that were planned for our wedding weekend.
When my husband and I think about our wedding now and in the future, she will always come to mind.
