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.

Let me start by saying that no one could have pulled off the magnificent New England destination wedding like Amy was able to do.
This was our third wedding Amy has planned for our family and without a doubt this was the most challenging due to the distance with us in El Paso, Amy in Scottsdale, the bride in DC, and a wedding weekend just outside of Boston in the beautiful coastal town of Marblehead. Within 8 months, the wedding was executed to perfection and my friends and family were overwhelmed with how beautiful the entire 4 days were. We started with a Rooftop party on Thursday (The Hotel Salem), Rehearsal Dinner on Friday (Boston Yacht Club), a church wedding (Our Lady Star of the Sea) on Saturday at 12:30 and not one but two (!!) receptions. There was a "post i-do" toast (The Beacon) after the ceremony where everyone gathered to eat and drink before heading out a little later for an evening reception at Connemara House. Sunday brunch at the Wharf in Salem (Finz) was the perfect ending.

Amy started immediately researching vendors, calling, referencing, getting recommendations from every possible source. Her organization is above and beyond. No task was too small and no challenge was too big for her to handle. Whether is was talking to half a dozen caterers to find the perfect fit, or perfecting every last detail of the branding of the weekend, to planning transportation from various bed and breakfasts and hotels, the organization to ship massive amount of supplies for the weekend, setting up "shop" to prepare our incredible welcome bags, the list was endless. With Amy's coordination I was in the best possible hands.

Amy easily understood the vision our daughter had and conveyed this with all the vendors while also adding her signature touches to make the weekend unique and special for our family. She could always see the 'bigger picture" when I as the mother of the bride got stalled with something small. Amy always saw a solution. She is creative, energetic, personable with all the vendors ( I think she made some lifelong friends!), and most importantly focused on the things that were of the utmost importance at the perfect time.

One of my favorite things about Amy is how detailed she is. I think one of the best aspects of the wedding day (and the entire weekend) was the timeline. How many weddings have you attended that a focused, well executed timing of each and every task was perfectly seen to fruition. She, without a doubt, has true talent. She always kept the budget on track even when I would get overly excited about something, she was there to reign me in! Clearly knowing what would make an impact and what wouldn't.

I can't say enough about Amy. She will be your biggest cheerleader, biggest supporter of what you want in a wedding, your go-to person for everything and most of all a friend. She is always available for a facetime or call, answers texts no matter what the hour and by far the most accommodating planner. 

Weddings always have their challenges but with Amy as your planner you can leave the stress and worrying to her. She is calm and focused and always has your best interest at heart. I wish I had another wedding to plan with her as I already miss being in constant contact! Amy is, simply put, THE BEST.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding and stress-free experience. Amy with Sensational Events has been in the business for a really long time and has a wealth of knowledge essential to making the most out of your big day. I'd be lying if I said we stayed in budget and saw eye-to-eye on every small detail, but I was somewhat of a non-conventional bride and very specific in my non-negotiables (i.e. band instead of dj, plated meal instead of buffet). We had already picked our venue and band prior to hiring Amy, but she was extremely helpful in finding us a suitable caterer and florist. We didn't actually do a tasting of the food and cake we selected prior to our wedding (our choice), and guests months later are still raving about the food. We relied on suggestions from Amy as to what guests have liked the most at some of her other weddings, and everything tasted fantastic.
We ended up choosing a different rental company than the one she suggested, mainly due to budgetary concerns, but she was happy to accommodate our choice. We appreciated her input on the table types and venue layout, with us having a mixture of rounds and rectangular tables, and it made for a very beautiful reception. And as far as flowers went, I was extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of arrangements we got from the florist she recommended. Our friends got married three weeks prior to us with a different florist and wedding planner, and their floral budget was three times what we had, but I have to say that our arrangements looked much more full and abundant. Amy also suggested that we move the flowers from the ceremony to the reception area to save us a bunch of money. With all of that being said, the main reason I hired a wedding planner was to provide a stress-free wedding day. I know for a fact that there were issues with power for the band and placement of the dance floor by the rental company, but Amy took care of everything behind the scenes. I didn't have to worry about a single thing and was able to enjoy the entire day with friends and family. We can't thank her enough!

Amy Petrovsky and Sensational events exceeded our expectations in ways we could never have imagined. She helped design and bring our vision for our wedding to life. She orchestrated a highly complex event with dozens of vendors and pulled off a flawless event for ~300 people in our home. She treated our property as if it were her own, and she cared for us as if we were family throughout. We are very grateful to have met Amy and to have had her plan our most special day.

We’ve been struggling writing this review for Amy Petrovsky and Sensational Events because we are quite sure neither of us are good enough writers to put into words just how absolutely incredible of an event planner and person Amy is and how great of a job she did. Amy was the first wedding planner we interviewed and within just a few minutes of talking to her we both knew she was the one. After two wedding postponements due to covid and over the course of two years of working with Amy she became family. She is so sweet and kind and hands down the best at what she does.

We had a destination wedding in the Caribbean which made communicating and dealing with vendors an absolute nightmare. Amy was so on top of everything and made sure our wedding was their number one priority. She negotiated us better rates and concessions (i.e. free cocktail hours, upgraded rooms, free airport transfer for all of our guests, and one-thousand other things) that more than paid for her services. Hiring Amy saved us thousands more than it cost us to retain Sensational Events. Amy helped us craft a budget we were comfortable with and worked within those constraints to design THE PERFECT WEDDING.

Amy is like an art exhibit curator, but for events. She listened to our vision and helped pick the perfect design, décor, location, food and created a beautiful masterpiece of an event. We were literally awe struck when we saw how it all came together. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and then so much more thanks to Amy’s expertise.

Beyond planning literally a Sensational event, Amy worked with all of our guests to help them coordinate their travel plans to attend our wedding. She kept them informed and organized though the multiple times we had to postpone our wedding. Every single one of our guests raved about dealing with Amy and how incredible she was… she took the stress out of everything.

Perhaps one of our favorite parts of working with Amy (excluding the fact that we now love her like family) is that she always treated us like we were her only client. She was always available to talk, always on top of everything and always calling us just to check in and say “Hi!”. After a 45 minute chat with Amy where she would never push us or make us feel rushed we would learn that she would have a 1500 person event for a Fortune 500 company later in the week yet somehow still made us feel like we were the priority. We really don’t know how she does it but we’re pretty sure it’s magic.

Amy, thank you so, so, so much for designing, creating and bringing to life our fairytale, picture perfect wedding! We’re so thankful for you!

Words cannot fully express how thankful we were to work with Amy Petrovsky! Our wedding journey started together in the spring of 2019, and she was by our side the entire time. As 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!

Five months ago we had the most spectacular, sensational weekend! It was the most epic celebration. Everything was precise, beautiful, and perfectly executed. It was our once-in-a-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!

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!!!

We knew the moment we decided to have a destination wedding in Scottsdale, AZ that we would need to enlist the best of the best when it came to hiring a planner. Amy came highly recommended to us by our photographer and family friend Stephanie Heymann, and we knew the moment we first spoke to her that she was the right choice. She gave us such a friendly and comforting vibe right off the bat as we began to chat about our vision, and we immediately felt like we had known her forever.

Planning a wedding from across the country was daunting to say the least, 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!! That’s the thing about Amy… It is miraculous the way she keeps everyone on-task while still reminding everyone that we are planning the most incredible event of our lives and that we should enjoy every moment of 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. Among so many other things, Amy even opened up personal space in her own home as we started shipping boxes upon boxes of things out to Scottsdale prior to the wedding! That is just one of so many examples that shows how personally invested she is in her clients and the perfect execution of their big day. She is willing and happy to do just about anything to make it the most pleasant and convenient experience possible for everyone involved.

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!!!

Amy was wonderful!!! For 6 months before, and through their wedding day, with just one very organized wedding planning weekend trip to Scottsdale from Cleveland, Amy worked with my 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!
