Family Ties: Talent runs in the Sabatino family—Sarah designed and calligraphed the invitations, while her mom made her gown. “We’re really close,” Sarah says of her mom. “So it was special to have her be such a big part of the day.”

Sarah Sabatino and Matt Newville Tie the Knot in a Romantic, Colorful Celebration

Sarah Sabatino & Matt Newville
February 6, 2021

When Sarah Sabatino and Matt Newville began long-distance dating, Matt would write letters to Sarah—a tradition they continued even once proximity was no longer an issue. That sense of romance was on display at their February 6, 2021, nuptials at The Adolphus’ 19th Floor Ballroom, which Sarah chose for its character and class.

Leading up to the big day, Sarah relinquished a lot of control to her team so she could focus on what really mattered. “I gave a lot of creative freedom to the vendors to not allow things to become overwhelming,” she says. “I tried to remember what the day is all about, and if things go wrong, you can always fix it.”

Just Their Style:

Sarah wanted her bridesmaids to feel comfortable and confident, so she gave them free rein to find dress silhouettes and colors to fit their individual styles.

“They brought a couple options the day of, and we had so much fun laying everything out together,” says Sarah.
