A Malta-based luxury wedding and event planner since 2001
Sarah Young is a Malta-based luxury wedding and event planner whose career in the industry began in 2001. Through Sarah Young Events and Y Plan Events Ltd, Sarah and her experienced team specialise in creating exceptional destination weddings, private celebrations and corporate events for clients travelling to Malta from around the world.
With more than two decades of experience, Sarah has played a pioneering role in Malta's professional wedding planning industry, entering the field when dedicated wedding planning services were still uncommon on the island. Today, she and her team bring together creative vision, personalized planning and meticulous execution to deliver bespoke events of every scale, from intimate destination weddings and private celebrations to lavish, high-end weddings and large-scale celebrations as well as corporate occasions.
Whether planning an intimate gathering or a spectacular celebration, the team takes a tailored approach to every event, ensuring each detail reflects the client's vision while showcasing the beauty, character and hospitality of Malta as a destination for the client's dream event. Their comprehensive planning services offer international clients the expertise, local knowledge and trusted supplier relationships needed to bring their event to life seamlessly.
Through Wedding Planner Malta, Sarah also offers a dedicated resource for couples looking to celebrate their wedding on the island, further strengthening her position as an established name in Malta's destination wedding industry.
Sarah's Planning Philosophy
No two celebrations are approached as a template. Sarah's planning process starts with the couple or client, then builds the venue, suppliers, design and logistics around the occasion they want to create. The aim is a celebration that feels personal, not packaged — and a planning experience that is enjoyable rather than stressful.
