    Best Wedding Planner in Arizona

    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.

    No One Does a wedding like Amy!!

    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.

    Stress-Free Wedding Experience

    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!

    Sensational Events far exceeded expectations

    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.

    Sensational Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Joe and Reed the pleasure was all mine. I feel from the moment we met I understood your vision and I couldn't be happier that you and your family loved every moment of your wedding experience. Wishing you the best of everything the future has to hold. Always, Amy XO

    Hire amy now

    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!

    Sensational Events's reply:

    Luke and Shannon - Thank you ❤️ the feelings are mutual. We started our wedding journey on June 13, 2019 and what a ride it was! 1,325 emails later, countless FaceTime calls and text messages, well, let's just say an abundance of those. Covid was a hurdle we expertly cleared so it would dampen the dream. And OH what a dream wedding in Jamaica it was! Cheers to your love and to our friendship. XOXO, Amy

    Sensational Planner

    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!

    Bride - Lauren Bartels

    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!

    Sensationally 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!!!

    Sensational Events's reply:

    Thank you Angeli and Alvin! I love you, your family and all your FUN friends. There are so many happy memories from this wedding adventure - too many to recount. And the wedding day, WOW - I don't think you could have looked more beautiful and Alvin more handsome. Your bridal party so fabulous always asking if they could lend a hand. My wish for you both is to treasure the memories and have fun making more! Cheers to love, laughter and you're happily ever after. 😘😘

    We could not have pulled off the wedding weekend of our dreams without our fearless leader, Amy Petrovsky!

    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!!!

    Sensational Events's reply:

    I'm at a loss for words (which isn't often -lol)! Your wedding was VERY special and how you and Nathan Zegura made it so much about your love of family and friends created a weekend that was truly unforgettable. ❤️ Thank you and cheers to your happily ever after. 🥂🍾

    Relax and enjoy your event!

    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!

    Sensational Events's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words. I am sad to see the wedding celebration end but the weekend was perfect and so are Kaila and Nathan together! You must be so proud. I look forward to sharing a glass of wine with you when you come back to Scottsdale. Cheers

    First and foremost, Amy is the one person that made our wedding a successful memory in our lives. We are forever thankful for all the work she did from the beginning till the end. 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!

    Wow. Amy is so amazing - she went above and beyond in planning my wedding in Houston, Texas. After she planned my sister's wedding, there was no doubt in my mind that she'd plan mine. 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!

    We are so grateful and thankful that we chose Amy Petrovsky and Sensational Events to plan our wedding. With all of her knowledge and enthusiasm, she made it clear that she was the 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.

    Amy and her Sensational Events team were amazing! I interviewed many wedding planners and fell in love with her! She was so much fun to work with and my mom and family loved that she included them when I asked. The vendors she recommended were very professional and I loved the band! The day went smoothly and it was so wonderful how my mom and me weren't stressing over all the details.

    We had such a wonderful weekend and the extra special activities Amy planned for my family and friends made it so special. My dad and brothers enjoyed the golf scramble she put together and the ladies loved the shopping and spa day.

    Thank you for making our wedding experience Sensational.

    Linda and Mike

    Jerry and I want to thank you for helping make our wedding day so perfect. We know how hard you worked on our wedding for the last eight months or so. What a journey it has been, We were so impressed with the attention to every detail. Our guests were so happy and delighted. Everyone had a good time. We heard only positive feedback. We heard, what a gorgeous wedding it is. What a classy wedding, What a elegant wedding. The wedding was fun and the food was delicious. We heard guests say this in four different languages. So it must have been true. Jerry and I felt like the king and queen for the day. The wedding went off without a hitch, thanks to you and your sister working hard to make everything flow smoothly and look beautiful. We were so impressed. It was a dream come true for us. We are so happy. Our wedding Day will be a day to remember with a smile on our face and a warmth in our hearts.

    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. DO NOT HIRE AMY!

    Sensational Events's reply:

    ~ Thank you for your honest viewpoint and I’m glad that everything has been resolved.

    ~ I saved the glowing messages you sent to me after the wedding:

    • Dayna: “We’re doing well! Rayna was amazing!! There were a few stressful things right up until the ceremony, but everything worked out and she handled it all perfectly for us! We had the most amazing day. It was so beautiful and we’re so happy! 😍”

    • Braeden: “The rain potential was stressful but it ended up working out! Rayna was awesome! She was all over everything. We really appreciate everything from you guys. We’ll touch base when we get back in the states! Thanks again!!”

    ~ The best of luck to you.
