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!!!

Nous n’aurions pas réussi le week-end de mariage dont nous rêvions sans notre leader intrépide, Amy Petrovsky ! Planifier un mariage à travers le pays était, à tout le moins, décourageant, mais Amy nous assurait toujours que nous étions sur la bonne voie, grâce à ses compétences et ses processus d’organisation méticuleux. Elle était toujours disponible pour discuter chaque fois que nous en avions besoin et nous tenait informés en temps réel via le dossier Google Drive qu’elle avait préparé pour nous et nous aidait à gérer toutes nos listes de vérification, feuilles budgétaires et autres documents très utiles qu’elle fournissait. Sa flexibilité et sa personnalité accommodante ont été très appréciées alors que mon mari et moi planions le mariage malgré nos emplois du temps professionnels incroyablement chargés. Croyez-le ou non, nous n’avons eu l’occasion de nous rendre à Scottsdale qu’une seule fois avant le mariage pour la rencontrer en personne et pour rencontrer tous nos nombreux prestataires. Elle a coordonné sans effort tout ce week-end avec toutes ces rencontres et nous a aidés à prendre des décisions efficaces dans un délai très court. Quand je repense à ce tourbillon de week-end, je n’arrive pas à croire tout ce que nous avons accompli. Et nous nous sommes tellement amusés en le faisant ! C’est ça, Amy… C’est miraculeux de voir comment elle maintient tout le monde concentré tout en rappelant à chacun que nous préparons l’événement le plus incroyable de notre vie et que nous devrions profiter de chaque instant ! À mesure que le mariage approchait (et que l’anxiété commençait à monter !), je pouvais vraiment m’appuyer sur Amy pour tous les petits détails qui devaient être pris en charge. Elle et ma mère ont vraiment noué une excellente relation et ont très bien travaillé ensemble ces derniers mois, et j’étais tellement reconnaissante de la relation qu’elles avaient. C’était tellement réconfortant de savoir que j’avais ces deux femmes en qui j’avais tant confiance prenant soin de tous les détails de dernière minute. Parmi tant d’autres choses, Amy a même mis à disposition un espace personnel dans sa propre maison alors que nous commencions à expédier boîtes et boîtes d’affaires vers Scottsdale avant le mariage ! C’est là l’un des innombrables exemples qui montrent à quel point elle est personnellement investie dans ses clients et dans l’exécution parfaite de leur grand jour. Elle est prête et heureuse de faire presque tout pour rendre l’expérience la plus agréable et pratique possible pour toutes les personnes impliquées. Non seulement elle nous a aidés à planifier le jour du mariage lui-même, mais elle nous a aussi aidés à organiser notre dîner de répétition et les festivités de bienvenue la veille, et un brunch avec pool party le lendemain ! C’était, pour le moins, une énorme entreprise, et elle l’a faite sans sourciller. En particulier pour le dîner de répétition, nous n’aurions définitivement pas pu y arriver sans elle. Comme c’était la Saint-Valentin, nous avons décidé de l’organiser dans une résidence privée que nous avions louée et tout était censé se dérouler dehors sur la belle pelouse. Par chance, les prévisions annonçaient de la pluie, ce qui est très rare à Scottsdale, donc ce n’était pas quelque chose à laquelle nous nous attendions du tout… Honnêtement, je n’avais aucune idée de ce que nous allions faire car je savais que tout le mobilier que nous avions loué (et toutes les personnes présentes !) ne rentreraient jamais confortablement à l’intérieur. Mais je savais qu’Amy avait tout sous contrôle et qu’elle trouverait la solution. Et bien sûr elle l’a fait ! Elle nous a aidés à remplacer les locations à la dernière minute par des meubles qui s’adaptaient mieux à l’espace et a transformé la maison en un lieu époustouflant grâce à sa vision créative et sa flexibilité. Et elle a tout fait cela pendant que j’étais en essai coiffure et maquillage, alors quand j’en suis sortie, tout avait déjà été pris en charge. Et cela s’est avéré être bien mieux que ce que j’aurais même pu imaginer. Je pourrais écrire des pages et des pages sur toutes les façons dont elle a aidé à faire de notre mariage l’expérience la plus incroyable qui soit, mais je vais conclure par ceci… Amy est SENSATIONNELLE. Elle est LA planificatrice. Il n’y a personne d’autre qui aurait pu réaliser ce qu’elle a fait pour nous, et je lui suis éternellement reconnaissante pour tout. Elle est allée bien au-delà pour nous à chaque étape et je pouvais dire qu’elle tirait une vraie joie et fierté de le faire, ce qui nous a rendus tout aussi fiers de la voir prendre les rênes. Nous t’aimons Amy !!!
