• "We all know that event planning is all about details and more details…. It’s like taking a blank canvas and creating a masterpiece truly worthy of the beholder. At Dress The Drink we work with some amazing event planners and AMY PETROVSKY of SENSATIONAL EVENTS is a MASTER at her craft! Gifted, meticulous, organized, creative, enthusiastic, and always diplomatic, Amy brings unwavering support to every one of her clients always working on the client’s needs and budget!

    Diane Svehlak, President Dress The Drink, Desserts & Foods | Sweetfields
    "I have worked on several large and unique events with Amy. She coordinated the largest 9/11 commemoration in the Southwest and 2 large motorcycle rides attended by over 500 bikers. Her ability to multi-task and attention to detail is second to none. I have been the emcee for 2 Presidential visits and for some of the largest fundraisers in Arizona. I was amazed at her ability to adapt to each unique situation. The events Sensational Events were handling each came with unique challenges and personalities and Amy was able to address each twist and turn and make for a better outcome. The evidence of her success was that all of the sponsors from the event have already committed to next years event. There is no way I would ever put on an event without her!"
    Mike Broomhead, News Talk 550 KFYI Afternoon Drive Host
    "Amy and Sensational Events will get the job done and enable you to accomplish your objectives whatever they might be. There is no job too big or too small, from setting your theme and its creative execution to taking care of every last detail. Beyond their professionalism, I support Sensational Events because of their sincere commitment to community causes that are also very important to me.”
    Denise D. Resnik, DRA Strategic Communications
    "After a few months into the 'timeline' we realized how exceptional Amy really was- she presented the most creative ideas imaginable, coupled with the best vendors and artisans in the Valley. Simply, Amy made things happen, always many steps ahead in the process. As a result, our event was “sensational”. I am grateful for the specific instances that Amy went above and beyond her “job criteria” for our family, trusting her with every detail, and continuing to make it run smoothly. I now cherish her as a friend as well! It is way too much fun planning with Amy! Sensational Events will definitely be doing all of our coming small and large events."
    Stacey Roswell
    "Amy planned our two sons Bar Mitzvah, which was an absolute success. We new that in order to enjoy our own function, it would be important to find a person that would be able to pull the event off, without any hitches, from beginning to end. Amy went well out of her way to ensure that we were getting the best value for our money and her attention to detail was presented and executed in a professional manner. The lighting, the food, the ambience, the service, the entertainment, the advance planning; all were exceptional. Her patience, flexibility and round-the-clock availability for all of our last minute changes, ensured that nothing was missed and that was not an easy task!" We will use her services in the future."
    Arlene & Mike Treger
    "Memorial Day is sacred to Patriot Guard Riders, Amy kept that sacred to her as she planned our event for Memorial Day. She put her full heart in to getting to know us, in fact she became one of us that day. Few people come in to a group of over 500 "bikers" and fit in like she did. The planning was sharp and she kept everyone involved focused. We make this ride every year with 50-100 riders. This year over 500 riders rode out in honor of our Veterans and our Fallen. The faces of the families at the National Cemetery said it all. We made them a promise to "never forget". 500 riders told them we would NEVER forget. Amy made it happen!! Patriot Guard Riders in Arizona will get the credit, but Amy Petrovsky made it happen."
    Louann Thomas, State Captain of Arizona Patriot Guard Riders
    "Sensational Events has been such a huge help in creating events and helping Buddy Stubbs Harley-Davidson make them successful! Amy is very organized and always makes it happen. Whether it's a large event or small you can definitely count on Sensational Events to make your event the best it can be! I couldn't have asked for a better turnout at our event. Thanks again Amy!"
    Phillip McKee, Buddy Stubbs Harley-Davidson
    “Amy made my 50th birthday great, because she did all the work and I had all the fun.”
    Daryl Burton
    "Amy Petrovsky, is the amazing force behind Sensational Events, who executed our sons Bar Mitzvah weekend magnificently. Every detail was meticulously attended to for the entire weekend. Amy was there for us every step of the way and made sure that everything went smoothly. On the weekend of our event, it was a pleasure that we could actually enjoy our guests and not worry about anything. We knew that Amy was in total control and would make sure that all the details were in perfect order. During our destination event, she not only took care of our needs prior and during, but made sure every guest knew that she was available for them. It's difficult to put in words our feelings because we have transcended from a working relationship to a very special friendship. To an outstanding job done which has left us with unbelievable memories!"
    Nazanine and Babak Sarrafzadeh
    “You are the hardest working person I know! Thank you for each and every detail you attended to and for doing a magnificent job.”
