Sabrina was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! My wife and I could not have been more pleased with our experience working with her! She flagged questions, helped us with things we didn't even know we needed help with and truly helped make the day an absolute dream! So many people assumed we were having a hard time with the wedding cause it can be so high stress and we shocked them time and time again when we told them things were really good and it was easy! I don't think a lot of folks can say that about their wedding process. I'd recommend her a bajillion times over! And she's a great person on top of the peak of professionalism!

DefinedLuxe was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! Our day was so special and problem-free thanks to Sabrina's grace, professionalism, and problem-solving. We reached out to Sabrina about six months before our wedding and worked with her for Month of Coordination.
From our initial conversation, Sabrina was so warm and excited to hear about our relationship and plans for the day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she developed our timeline, coordinated with all of our vendors, and helped us work through many fine details that people who have never planned a wedding wouldn't know. The day of the wedding, she led us through everything and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our families even told us that they enjoyed working with her!
We recommend Sabrina 100%.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sabrina, a wonderful wedding planner who went above and beyond to make sure my big day went off without a hitch. One of the things that impressed me the most was the timely reminders she sent to my wedding party, which ensured that everyone was on the same page and ready to go.
Sabrina was also incredibly organized when it came to the timeline for the vendors and immediate family, which included a detailed photo list in PDF format. As someone who is very Type A, I never thought I would find someone who could match my level of organization, but Sabrina exceeded my expectations in every way.
Not only did Sabrina keep us organized and on schedule throughout the wedding planning process, but she also made it really fun. Her positive attitude and infectious smile brought a sense of calm and joy to what could have been a very stressful time.
On the day of my wedding, Sabrina truly shone. She orchestrated the entire event flawlessly, and I was able to enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. And even if something had gone wrong, I wouldn't have known it - Sabrina's calm and collected demeanor ensured that everything ran smoothly, and my guests had no idea that anything was amiss.
Overall, I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner that is professional, organized, and truly cares about making your big day as special as possible. Thank you, Sabrina, for making my wedding day a dream come true!

From the start Sabrina was very sweet and worked around my schedule with a newborn. I had so much anxiety surrounding the wedding and becoming a new mom that Sabrina made things smooth and less overwhelming. She and her team were on que with everything between flowers to invitations and guests. She was very professional and gave me meaningful insight on how things should operate on the wedding day. On my wedding day everything was a smooth transition and i felt like i could genuinely trust her to make things happen. She me great ideas on how to incorporate our newborn son into the wedding and it really made it special for us . She was the sweetest and extremely patient.

As a busy bride juggling two small children and a full-time job, planning and designing our wedding felt overwhelming. That’s why hiring Sabrina for full-service wedding planning and design was the best decision we made. Sabrina took our vision and brought it to life in the most beautiful way possible. Her attention to detail, creativity, and dedication made our wedding day truly magical. It was the best investment we could have made towards creating the perfect day. Thank you, Sabrina, for making our dreams a reality!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sabrina for my wedding, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her incredible services. From the moment we met, her warm smile and calm energy put me at ease, making the entire planning process feel peaceful and stress-free.
What truly set Sabrina apart was her remarkable attention to detail from our very first call! She remembered all the small, intricate aspects of my wedding that I had forgotten or overlooked. It felt as if she was not only a wedding planner but also a marriage counselor, ensuring that every element of our special day reflected our personalities and love story.
Throughout the entire process, Sabrina was incredibly organized, allowing me to relax and enjoy the journey. On the day of the wedding, I felt like a guest at my own celebration, as everything flowed seamlessly and beautifully according to my budget.
I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a wedding planner who not only delivers exceptional results but also provides a sense of peace and joy throughout the entire process. She truly made my wedding day a dream come true.

Sabrina Ely was a great help for my wedding! She was calm, patient, and a great listener! She was available via phone call, zoom, or email to answer any time sensitive questions or wedding related stressors that were on my mind. I put in a lot of time and effort into planning my wedding day, and hiring Sabrina as my day of coordinator was exactly what I needed to mold and finalize the finishing touches! Shout out to her awesome assistant Misha! My husband Patrick and I had a blast at our wedding and are glad all coordination went smoothly.

I had the pleasure to work with Sabrina Ely with Defined Luxe Events on a recent wedding. Sabrina was the Wedding Planner and I was working as the Day of Event Coordinator. Sabrina was excellent to work with. She communicated well with our Bride, the other vendors, and myself. Her positive attitude and smile were infectious. Sabrina stayed on top of all aspects of the Wedding and kept things on point. I enjoyed working with Sabrina and look forward to working with her again.

If you are looking for a wedding planner with impeccable taste and an amazing attitude look no further! Planning my wedding became overwhelming at times with all the tiny details and planning. That was before Sabrina came in and helped me iron out all the details and take away a lot of the stress of planning. What drew me to Sabrina initially was her style, elegant and classic. When searching for wedding invitations Sabrina picked out a beautiful style that went with my theme of an elegant garden party. She also helped me find a last-minute hair and MUA after I the other makeup trial with a different company did not work out. Something I thought would be impossible 3 months off from my wedding in what seems like the summer that everyone is getting married! Additionally, Sabrina took a load off my shoulders when she became the point of contact for all my vendors.
When it came to the day before my wedding Sabrina was ready to rock! She arrived at my home (the venue) the day before my wedding and made sure everyone knew what they were going to be doing the following day.
The thing I like about Sabrina the most is here sense of calmness. When I was overwhelmed, she was able to bring me back to earth with her reassuring words and calm demeanor. She made sure that I had an amazing time at my wedding and even put up with my crazy uncle dragging her onto the dance floor!
I will forever be grateful to her for helping me pull of such a beautiful wedding!
THANK YOU SABRINA!

Sabrina and her team made my day so easy, I even had time to sit quietly and soak in all the festivities that were taking place. My biggest concern was the comfort of my mom with Alzeihmers. My guest being well hydrated on such a HOT day. Her team clearly communicated with me to alleviate any and all concerns regarding their comfort. I was so grateful they allowed me to be a calm and blushing bride. Sabrina knew what I needed before I knew what I needed! I am so grateful she spearheaded my wedding coordination. We are still in awe as to how beautiful our wedding day turned out to be for our family and guest. Look no further! Defined Luxe events is the team a bride wants on her BIG day!!!!!!

Sabrina was amazing! Being a wedding photographer who has worked with and without wedding planners throughout my career, she made my job going into the day and on the day of so much easier! Normally when couples don’t have a planner, I spend my time going into the wedding helping to coordinate timelines and Sabrina was able to curate those for me and actually gave me enough time to capture everything I normally would. The family and bride were raving about her all day and I could tell that she went above and beyond to cater to their needs and requests. Based on my experience working with her, I’d highly recommend her to couples who are looking to take the edge off of wedding planning and need a professional to help them bring their wedding vision to life.

We reached out to Sabrina once we realized how overwhelming the wedding planning process was and after one call we knew we needed to book her! At that point we hired her after we booked our venue, DJ and photographers so she picked up right where we left off. She offered a partial wedding planner package that was perfect for where we were at that stage of planning. Our only regret was not booking her from the beginning!! Sabrina's services kept us organized and on track with everything we needed to do. She checked in with us every month leading up to the wedding and was always available for any calls or emails. Extremely responsive. She had so much knowledge and first hand experience with different vendors in the area that she made our lives sooo much easier in booking the remaining vendors we needed. She also put together our decor Inspo and she was SPOT ON! And she brought it to life the day of the wedding! Sabrina also handled our timelines which we would not have had the bandwidth to put together that last 1-2 months before the wedding as we were already stressed enough. Our biggest ask to Sabrina was not to have to worry about anything the day of the wedding and Sabrina + team delivered on that request! Moral of the story, BOOK DEFINED LUXE EVENTS!

As a vendor I have worked with many Wedding Coordinators, Sabrina and her team were some of the best. She is extremely professional, punctual and easy to work with. Her designs are impeccable and we love seeing her create from scratch to completion. I look forward to future events with her.

My husband and I hired Sabrina for month of coordination, and suffice it to say, we were so glad we did!
After doing most of the planning ourselves, it became too much and we knew we needed more help. Sabrina took on the vendor contracts and conversations, arranging everything for the day of the wedding and answering all questions along the way. She also created a detailed timeline that clarified everything for many members of our family (and so I could stop taking so many phone calls)
My husband and I are pretty non traditional, and wanted a very relaxed atmosphere, and Sabrina picked up on it really quick and was supportive and helpful in every decision we had to make.
If we had to do it all again I wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you Sabrina for all of your help and for the fun we had! It was wonderful to have her support on our wedding day.

I don’t even know where to start. I had no clue where to start planning my wedding so I started researching on Instagram for a planner/ decorator. I found Sabrina!! What a glorious day it was. She was amazing from the very beginning. I gave her the details of my vision and she did the rest. Her prices were more than reasonable, obviously if you have expensive taste like I do, it will be costly for the extra items. Sabrina will assist you and direct you in the right direction within your budget. She got one of the best florist to assist with my wedding. She even saved my marriage lol, really she did. My husband was scared of the floral pricing because once again I love expensive things. I reached out to Sabrina at 11pm at night panicking. She made calls to the florist and they both called me on 3 way and they both arranged something for me that was reasonable and saved the day!!! She was amazing and I don’t know what to do to thank her. The day of my wedding was magical and more than what I expected, the flowers were stunning. Sabrina even helped me zoom my wedding by holding the phone for me, above and beyond to keep me happy and sane. My husband and I were so happy and still talking about our wedding. I totally recommend Defined Luxe events for your special event.

After many months of planning and preparing for this day, I knew I could not execute it on my own. Thank god for Sabrina and her team! Sabrina came in about a month and a half before the wedding to be my coordinator. She listened to my vision, took my many ( let’s be honest...WAY to many) decorations, created a beautiful set-up, built a timeline and executed the day to perfection. My family and I could not stop talking about how the day would not have run so smooth if it wasn’t for her. She pays close attention to details and seamlessly moved through the day with NO look of stress on her face (still trying to figure out how she did that lol).
If that’s not impressive, I want to say her ability to create and maintain a timeline was worth every penny. As a bride, I had no sense of time. Sabrina made sure to keep everyone on track, notifying me of how much time I had for each part. I could not have done it without her. If I could go back in time, I would have hired her to plan the entire wedding because she’s that good!!!

Sabrina of Defined Luxe Events did an absolutely amazing job with my last min backyard wedding! We were supposed to have it in a large venue but it was postponed until next year due to covid. She brought together all my gorgeous ideas and intricate details at our very private and intimate event. I highly recommend her for your wedding event! She’s so professional, punctual, and extremely patient and talented with her luxury style decor

Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She was very patient with me as I didn't know what I was doing. She gave me different options and she was quite experienced. She was very punctual and made me feel at ease. My day was so magical and I can't thank her enough for all of her time, hard work, and dedication.
