Sensational Events

a couple affected by the covid pandemic, we had to reschedule our beautiful Sedona wedding 3 times. With Amy by our side, she quickly rescheduled our new date(s), took the stress off our shoulders and made it fun always in an otherwise stressful situation. She was always available night or day, even answering a call while working out on her peloton. Amy’s expertise for wedding design, connections with local vendors, and organization skills was amazing which turned our dream wedding into a beautiful reality. During the two years of knowing Amy, she started out as our friendly planner to now, part of our family. Thank you so much Amy, you’re the best!

lifetime wedding weekend! The day my husband and I had dreamed about since we were little, thought about since the moment we met, and patiently waited for while the world turned upside down for a worldwide pandemic. Amy Petrovsky was our dauntless defender, as we affectionately called our bulldog, who made sure every moment from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon went off without a hitch. Yet, with all that planning, it felt effortless. She steered us to an impeccable team of vendors that made our weekend feel warm and inclusive, not like just another wedding. Amy worked with our parents from different states and different religious backgrounds to make all of us feel equally served and important. Ultimately she was our rock and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the outcome! If you are looking for a SENSATIONAL planner look no further, Amy is the woman for your EVENTS! We really cannot say enough!

e 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!!!

t, but Amy always assured us that we were right on pace, thanks to her meticulous organization skills and processes. She was always available to talk whenever we needed her and kept us up-to-date in real-time via the Google Drive folder she put together for us and helped us manage with all of our checklists, budget spreadsheets and other very helpful materials she provided. Her flexibility and accommodating personality was so appreciated while my husband and I were planning the wedding amongst our otherwise incredibly busy work schedules. Believe it or not, we only went out to Scottsdale ONCE before the wedding to meet with her in-person for the first time and to meet with all of our many options of vendors. She seamlessly coordinated that entire weekend with all of those meetings and helped us make efficient decisions within a very limited timeframe. When I think back on that whirlwind of a weekend, I cannot believe all that we got accomplished. And we had so much fun doing it!! As we got closer to the wedding (and the anxiety started to kick in!), I was very much be able to lean on Amy for all of the little details that needed to be taken care of. Her and my mom really hit it off and worked so well together in those last couple of months, and I was so appreciative of the relationship they had. It was so comforting to know I had these two women I trusted so much taking care of all of the last-minute details. Not only did she help us plan the wedding day itself, she also helped us plan our rehearsal dinner and welcome festivities the night before, and a pool party brunch the day after! It was a BIG undertaking to say the least, and she did it without batting an eye. When it came to the rehearsal dinner in particular, we definitely could not have done it without her. Because it was Valentine’s Day, we decided to host it at a private residence we had rented and everything was supposed to be outside on the beautiful lawn. As luck would have it, the weather forecast was threatening rain, which is very rare in Scottsdale, so not something we had anticipated at all… I honestly had no idea what we were going to do because I knew all off the furniture we had rented (and all of the people!) would never comfortably fit inside. But I did know that Amy had it under control and that she would figure it out. And of course she did! She helped us swap out the rentals last-minute for furniture that would fit better in the space and turned the house into a stunning venue with her creative vision and flexibility. And she did all of this while I was at my hair and makeup trial, so when I walked out of there, everything had already been taken care of. And it honestly turned out better than I could’ve even imagined. I could go on and on about all of the ways she helped make our wedding the most amazing experience ever, but I will end with this… Amy is SENSATIONAL. She is THE planner. There is no one else out there that could’ve pulled off what she did for us, and I am eternally grateful to her for everything. She went so above and beyond for us every step of the way and I could tell that she found true joy and pride in doing so, which made us equally proud to have her leading the way. We love you Amy!!!

daughter and her fiancé in planning the destination wedding of their dreams. From finalizing timelines, confirming vendors, running the rehearsal, and of course bringing it all together the day of the event, we (mom & dad of the bride) could not be happier with the job she did in helping us create a celebration that we all felt good about. Amy turned everyone’s vision into a reality to make the ceremony and rehearsal dinner pure perfection! She is so friendly and easy to work with, professional and always available. She listened to what was envisioned by all, and really made sure that our daughter’s wedding day was beautiful and perfect! She made sure that anything we could have needed was taken care of before we even realized we needed something! She was very organized and I was not worried about a single thing the whole day & night. Destination weddings have a unique planning requirement and we couldn’t have done it without Amy. We highly recommend her!

oking for a great party and someone to make sure you will capture beautiful memories, you cannot go wrong with Sensational Events

ing was a destination wedding in Sedona. She knew who was great to work with and handled tons of details! The day of the wedding went smooth, or at least I thought it did as I didn’t have to deal with anything 😁

My wife and I live in New York and we chose to do a destination wedding in Sedona, Az. We spoke with 20-30 different event planners and wedding planners before we spoke with Amy. Instantly we knew Amy was the one for us when we were talking to her. We were only looking for month of coordination initially but with Amy we were able to afford her full wedding planning service and she went right to work fast from the beginning and orchestrated it all! Amy was great at finding awesome vendors and helped to pick out the venue, choosing the invitations, flowers, the food, the wedding cake, the table settings, the tablecloths, rehearsal dinner etc. Amy always kept a great budget spreadsheet to make sure we were managing our money well. We did not want a cookie cutter wedding and Amy was great at developing our cocktail hour and reception menu. Amy was very creative in all aspects and made things come out even more better than you can imagine. I am a very detail oriented individual and Amy was great at managing all of our expectations. My wife and I were in no stress throughout this process and trusted Amy with everything. Everyone who came to our wedding enjoyed every moment and had nothing to complain about. Everyone said our wedding was one of the best they have ever attended. Even after the wedding was over Amy kept in contact with us following up on wedding pictures and any help we needed shortly after. Without Amy we couldn’t have done it and we highly recommend her for your next special event! There is nothing Amy cannot do!

e one to help us on our special day. She immediately went to work for us, unifying our ideas to create a simplified plan for our wedding. Amy was only a phone call or text away whenever we had concerns or questions. She always made us feel like we were her number one priority. She went above and beyond with helping us with the cake, DJ, food, drinks photographer and overall design; you name it, she can make it happen. Her impeccable reputation in the world of event planning created an unparalleled experience. Everything was perfect for our wedding and reception. Her attention to detail allowed us to go further than we would have imagined with our budget. We were allowed a stunningly beautiful wedding within a price range that was comfortable because of Amy’s ability to draw from her experience, knowledge and genuine compassion to provide her clients with their dream. Truly, words alone cannot describe what she did for us. We would highly recommend Amy Petrovsky and Sensational Events for all of your special events.

ne. Everything from the chocolate covered strawberries that welcomed our guests in their rooms to the farewell champagne brunch was perfect! Even though this destination was many miles from her business in Arizona, in two shorts trips to Houston, she coordinated with the BEST vendors imaginable to create the most beautiful event I've ever seen. Not only did she make sure my mom and i were comfortable with every decision that was made, but she also made sure to advocate for us and make sure that we got the best prices. She prepared a timeline that laid out everything for the weekend so that when it finally arrived, we just sat back and watched the magic happen - completely stress free! I can't recommend Amy and her team enough for any event you may have - big or small. Not only will she make it absolutely gorgeous, she'll make it reflective of her clients, which she did for me and my husband. Amy - thank you SO unbelievably much for everything, you made our wedding day the best day of our lives!

IL, moving to CA to join my fiance. Once we found our venue, Amy made the experience unbelievably efficient and easy! She was so incredibly helpful - she gave me vendor choices, set up meetings, and me and my family only had to make TWO trips to Scottsdale to get all of the wedding planning done! She was so incredibly organized and professional, which just shows how exceptional the her event planning business is. It was amazing. She also worked within our budget and all of her connections and vendors that we used were excellent - florist, photographer, wedding band, etc. Amy also has the best team that assisted with branding our wedding. The welcome bags, mints at the wedding, napkins, cards, EVERYTHING was amazing. Everyone was obsessed with her welcome bags and all of the guests used them at the resort the whole weekend. The weekend of the wedding, from our Thursday night welcome dinner, Friday rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and Saturday wedding day was completely flawless. Everything was PERFECT! The parties were so great! When it came down to being there and enjoying my wedding weekend, it was so stress-free and easy. I couldn't believe how relaxed I was because I didn't have to worry about a single thing. I just had to follow our timeline that we worked on, and the whole entire weekend fell into place! Amy and her team at Sensational Events are fantastic!!! My wedding and the entire weekend were so perfect!

cause I knew she had everything under control. I can not say enough about how wonderful it was to savor every single minute without any worries.
