Our story

Born from a Passion for the Extraordinary

Sonabba Events was founded on a single belief — that every celebration deserves to be as unique and meaningful as the people it honours.

How we began

A Vision Rooted in Beauty and Intention

Sonabba Events was founded in 2017 by Myriam, a former luxury hospitality director with an eye for detail and a deep love for the art of celebration. After years of watching events fall short of their potential, she set out to build something different — a planning studio where creativity and precision exist in equal measure.

What began as a boutique wedding planning practice in New York quickly grew into a full-service luxury event house, trusted by discerning clients for weddings, galas, milestone celebrations, and corporate events across the country.

Today, Sonabba Events is a team of dedicated creatives, planners, and producers — united by a shared commitment to crafting moments that feel effortless, intentional, and deeply personal.

What we believe

The Principles Behind Every Event

01

Intentionality

Every decision — from the floral palette to the table linen — is made with purpose. We don't do anything by accident.

02

Artistry

We approach each event as a creative work. Beauty is not an afterthought; it is the foundation of everything we build.

03

Calm

Our clients should feel completely at ease. We carry the complexity so they can be fully present in every moment.

04

Discretion

We work with the utmost professionalism and privacy. Your celebration is yours — we are simply the architects behind it.
