Who We Are

A Beautiful Tale of Ambition, Dedication, and Above All —Love

We are a team of experienced event planners and creative visionaries who have orchestrated over 500 extraordinary celebrations — from intimate destination elopements to grand multi-day luxury weddings, high-profile corporate galas to world-class MICE events. We’ve brought our expertise to the UAE, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Americas, and many other corners of the world.
 
We’ve dipped our toes in a remarkable range of events — corporate galas and conferences, weddings spanning multiple cultures and continents, milestone birthdays, globally recognised award nights, product launches, and everything in between. With every event, we’ve grown, refined our craft, and expanded our network of trusted photographers, florists, designers, caterers, performers, and creative collaborators.

"We're dream weavers, storytellers, problem-solvers, and project managers that bridge the gap between expectations and reality. From inception to execution, we promise to always have your back — to be completely committed to you, your cause, and your special celebration."

Events by Saniya was born out of a deep belief that every celebration deserves to be treated as the most important event in the world. Because to the people living it, it is. Whether your dream unfolds in Paris, the Maldives, Santorini, or right here in Dubai — we are there, invested in every detail, every moment, every memory.

Meet the Founder

The Visionaryehind Every Celebration

A wedding day is the most extraordinary chapter of a couple’s love story — woven with flowers, candlelight, laughter, ritual, and timeless memories. Saniya Wahi has spent her career making those chapters unforgettable.
 
Beginning her events journey at the age of 22 under the original brand Selvatico, Saniya built a reputation for creating uniquely personal, emotionally resonant celebrations. Her formal background in psychology — an unusual but profoundly powerful foundation for event planning — gives her the ability to deeply understand the personalities, preferences, and family dynamics of each couple and client. The result? Events that feel completely, irreplaceably theirs.
 
Today, as Founder and CEO of Events by Saniya, Saniya leads a team of creative specialists and project managers who operate across the UAE and across the world. Her passion for precision, her instinct for beauty, and her unwavering commitment to her clients have made EBS one of the most celebrated luxury event agencies in Dubai.
Psychology Graduate
15+ Years Experience
30+ Countries Planned
500+ Events Delivered
Saniya’s hallmark is events that cannot be replicated. No two EBS celebrations are alike — because no two couples, no two families, no two brands are alike. Her team’s creativity, precision, and genuine care for every client are what make Events by Saniya a name that is talked about long after the last dance.

What We Do

Our Philosophy — Six Principles That Guide Every Event

These are not just values we talk about — they are standards we hold ourselves to in every email, every consultation, every decision, and every moment on event day.
01

No Two Events Alike

Every client brings a unique story, culture, personality, and vision. We start every engagement from a blank canvas — no templates, no shortcuts, no recycled concepts. Your celebration is entirely, irreplaceably yours.

02

Psychology-Led Design

Saniya's background in psychology informs every aspect of how we work with clients. We listen deeply, identify what truly matters to you and your family, and design events that connect emotionally — not just visually.

03

Precision Without Compromise

The details are everything. From the angle of a floral arrangement to the timing of the first course, we approach every element with the same level of scrutiny and care — because your guests will notice, and so will you.

04

Radical Transparency

We believe in honest communication from day one. Timelines, budgets, vendor options, what's possible and what isn't — we tell you everything, clearly and early, so there are no surprises on your most important day.

05

Global Excellence, Personal Touch

Operating across 30+ destinations worldwide, we bring the same intimate, client-first approach to a Maldives beach ceremony that we bring to a grand Dubai ballroom gala — because scale never changes our standards.

06

We Hold It All Together

So you don't have to. On your wedding day or event day, your only job is to be present — in the joy, the laughter, the love. Everything else is ours to carry, from the first brief to the final moment of the night.
