Sabrina Ely, owner and lead wedding planner of Defined Luxe Events

MY PhiLOSOPHY is simple. ITS all ABOUT CONNECTION

As the owner and lead wedding planner of Defined Luxe Events, I believe exceptional celebrations begin with understanding what matters most to you. From selecting the right creative partners to shaping the design, flow and atmosphere of the day, everything decision is approached with intention.

Because the experience matters just as much as the details. I want you to feel present with the people you love, your guests to feel genuinely considered, and your wedding to be one you don’t just remember for how it looked—but for how it felt.

  • "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!

    — Maritza and Nathan, The Exchange

  • “it was the best decision we made!"

    “We hired Sabrina for the Defined Luxe partial planning package about a year before our wedding and it was the best decision we made! She was so knowledgeable, communicative, organized, and a million other things. Even though we had the partial planning package we felt like we were receiving her all, she was supporting us every step of the way. On Thanksgiving last year when we were going around the table saying what we're grateful for, without hesitation, my now husband said, "Sabrina" and I concurred wholeheartedly. She made our vision come to life and all of the vendors she recommended were incredible. We were able to relax and be fully present on our wedding day because we knew she and her team had everything covered. I could not recommend Defined Luxe Events enough to anyone looking for a planner!”

    — Shira and Zak, The Graduate

  • "Sabrina was so warm and excited to hear about our relationship and plans for the day."

    Defined Luxe 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%.
