Our experience with Amy Petrovsky of Sensational Events was nothing short of Enchanting! From our first meeting to the last dance, Amy orchestrated a wedding weekend at the Enchantment Resort in Sedona, Arizona that exceeded our wildest dreams and Pinterest Board expectations! Her attention to detail is unmatched, turning every aspect into a personalized eye-catching, show stopper. Her seamless coordination, based on the respect and relationships she has created with vendors all throughout Arizona, allowed us to savor every moment of the weekend and the wedding day, knowing that Amy had it all under control. My husband and I are forever grateful for her passion, dedication and the joy she brought to our special day.

We have 100% certainty that no other organization or person could have helped design, create and help our vision for our wedding celebration come to life like Sensational Events and Amy Petrovsky. It was a massive effort which involved dozens of different vendors and literally moving them all over mountains to a private residence in the countryside to create a 300 person party. Beyond the flawless execution, we are just generally grateful for having someone we could trust... someone who cared for our home and property as if it were her own. Someone who planned our wedding as if it were for her own family. We cannot say enough about how our experience with Sensational Events was more positive than we could have imagined.

Pros: • Organized & thorough • Helpful vendor recommendations • Organized platform on google drive for all documents • Amy worked with us from May 2021 – Oct 2022 • Rayna, Amy’s daughter who attended our wedding in Amy's place, was very attentive Cons: • Amy breached our contract by initially stating she would be onsite the day of our wedding but then later advised us that she could not make it. Amy worked a different wedding the same day as our wedding. Therefore, she did not attend our wedding & she was not available for any communication the entire day of our wedding even though we contracted with her first. We were contracted with her & had our deposit paid for 7 months prior to the other couple that she booked herself with on the same night, so there should not have been any confusion as to her obligation to us. The contract that we signed stated, “Onsite event coordination by a Sensational Events team member – Amy.” However, she had her daughter, Rayna, attend our wedding instead • When we told Amy that we were going to write an honest review she blocked us from all social media & from all our shared docs on our google drive from the wedding such as contracts & receipts that we uploaded • We were not able to rent certain items from Amy such as table numbers because she had them reserved for the other couple’s wedding that same night • Amy lied to us stating that she could not attend our event because of a “family obligation” which she informed us was her in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. However exactly 1 month after our wedding she made social media posts wishing the other couple a happy 1-month anniversary along with a video she took at their wedding • Right before our grand entrance we were informed by Rayna that some tables at the reception did not have enough chairs for the number of guests that were supposed to be seated. Rayna asked if we could pull up the seating chart on our phones, which neither one of us had. This is info that Amy should have communicated to Rayna but did not, & Rayna with her lack of experience, did not think to check on the seating chart while setting up the morning of. Rayna also could not get ahold of Amy for this info • The seating chart was never fixed since Rayna did not have the info she needed. Extra guests that could not fit at their assigned tables were moved to other tables instead of having chairs added to their assigned table • Our photographer, videographer & DJ, informed us that they would no longer be able to work with us because Amy was not going to allow them to have contact with us. She wanted all contact to be through her, & that is not how this vendor operated. Given how much we loved this vendor, we had to tell Amy to include us in communication. From then on, Amy wouldn’t communicate with them & would have us take care of communication since we “were the ones that contracted with them" • 8 months prior to our wedding our venue asked Amy for proof of insurance for all of our vendors. Amy waited until 2 weeks before to collect this info. Our cake baker did not have insurance so we ended up having to pay for insurance out of our own pockets because it was too late to book a different baker Our wedding turned out to be a success in the end. While we were satisfied with the wedding, we wish that we would have gone with a different planner. We are confident that there are other planners out there that could plan an amazing wedding without all of the emotional stress & inconvenience that Amy caused us the past year and a half. DO NOT HIRE AMY!

Amy truly is sensational!!! My fiancé and I decided on a destination wedding after experiencing my sister’s gorgeous wedding in Arizona, in which Amy was their wedding planner. Once we decided on California as our wedding destination, we didn’t think she could be our planner since she is based in Arizona, but after our first phone call, she assured us that she would be more than up for the job. Amy’s professionalism, organizational skills, her penchant for detail, and invaluable experience are obvious from the start. She is very personable and kept us on track regarding all the things we had to do. Unlike other couples we have observed, we never really stressed out about wedding planning because that’s how awesome Amy is!!! She really listened to what's important to us and made sure we enjoyed our day. She did all the research on venue spaces, florists, DJs, photographers, makeup artists etc. and encouraged us to choose who we felt was right for us. Amy knows how to deal with vendors and talk their language, since most of these things were out of our depths. Amy is no-nonsense especially the day of the wedding, which ensured that everything did go the way we really wanted. Two years ago, she did my sister’s wedding, and now after doing mine, Amy is family. Thank you, Sensational Events, for making our wedding a fairytale!!!

No podríamos haber logrado el fin de semana de la boda de nuestros sueños sin nuestra valiente líder, Amy Petrovsky! Planear una boda desde el otro lado del país era, por decirlo así, intimidante, pero Amy siempre nos aseguraba que estábamos en el camino correcto, gracias a su meticulosa capacidad de organización y a sus procesos. Ella siempre estuvo disponible para hablar cada vez que la necesitábamos y nos mantenía al día en tiempo real a través de la carpeta de Google Drive que preparó para nosotros y nos ayudó a gestionar con todas nuestras listas de verificación, hojas de cálculo de presupuesto y otros materiales muy útiles que proporcionó. Su flexibilidad y su personalidad acomodadora fueron muy apreciadas mientras mi esposo y yo planificábamos la boda entre nuestros extremadamente ocupados horarios de trabajo. Créalo o no, solo fuimos a Scottsdale UNA vez antes de la boda para verla en persona por primera vez y para conocer todas nuestras numerosas opciones de proveedores. Ella coordinó sin esfuerzo todo ese fin de semana con todas esas reuniones y nos ayudó a tomar decisiones eficientes dentro de un plazo de tiempo muy limitado. Cuando recuerdo esa vorágine de un fin de semana, no puedo creer todo lo que logramos. ¡Y nos divertimos tanto haciéndolo! Eso es lo que tiene Amy... es milagrosa la manera en que mantiene a todos enfocados y al mismo tiempo recuerda que estamos planificando el evento más increíble de nuestras vidas y que debemos disfrutar cada momento. A medida que nos acercábamos a la boda (¡y la ansiedad empezaba a hacer acto de presencia!), pude apoyarme mucho en Amy para todos los pequeños detalles que necesitaban cuidarse. Ella y mi mamá realmente se llevaron muy bien y trabajaron tan bien juntas en esos últimos meses, y estaba muy agradecida por la relación que tenían. Fue muy reconfortante saber que tenía a estas dos mujeres en las que confiaba tanto cuidando todos los detalles de último momento. Entre tantas otras cosas, Amy incluso abrió un espacio personal en su propia casa mientras empezábamos a enviar cajas y cajas de cosas a Scottsdale antes de la boda. Eso es solo uno de tantos ejemplos que demuestra cuán personalmente involucrada está con sus clientes y la ejecución perfecta de su gran día. Ella está dispuesta y feliz de hacer casi cualquier cosa para que la experiencia sea lo más agradable y conveniente posible para todos los involucrados. No solo nos ayudó a planificar el día de la boda en sí, también nos ayudó a planificar la cena de ensayo y las festividades de bienvenida la noche anterior, ¡y un brunch de fiesta en la piscina al día siguiente! Fue una empresa grande, por decirlo así, y lo hizo sin pestañear. En lo que respecta a la cena de ensayo en particular, definitivamente no podríamos haberla hecho sin ella. Como era el Día de San Valentín, decidimos organizarla en una residencia privada que habíamos alquilado y todo debería ser al aire libre en el hermoso césped. Como suele ocurrir, el pronóstico del tiempo amenazaba con lluvia, lo cual es muy raro en Scottsdale, así que no era algo que hubiéramos anticipado… Honestamente, no tenía idea de qué íbamos a hacer porque sabía que todos los muebles que habíamos alquilado (¡y toda la gente!) no cabrían cómodamente dentro. Pero sabía que Amy lo tenía bajo control y que lo resolvería. ¡Y, por supuesto, lo hizo! Nos ayudó a cambiar los alquileres de último minuto por muebles que encajarían mejor en el espacio y convirtió la casa en un lugar impresionante gracias a su visión creativa y su flexibilidad. Y hizo todo esto mientras yo estaba en la prueba de pelo y maquillaje, así que cuando salí de allí, todo ya estaba resuelto. Y, honestamente, resultó mejor de lo que podría haber imaginado. Podría seguir y seguir hablando de todas las formas en que nos ayudó a hacer de nuestra boda la experiencia más increíble de todas, pero terminaré con esto… Amy es SENSACIONAL. Ella es LA planificadora. No hay nadie más por ahí que pudiera haber logrado lo que ella hizo por nosotros, y le estoy eternamente agradecida por todo. Ella fue mucho más allá para nosotros en cada paso y pude notar que encontró verdadera alegría y orgullo en hacerlo, lo que nos hizo sentir igualmente orgullosos de que ella encabezara el camino. ¡Te amamos, Amy!
