This review is long overdue! I SIMPLY can't say enough positive things about Alexa and Simply…read moreModern Events. We approached Alexa at the beginning of the year for our late March 2015 wedding. We needed a day of coordinator but what we got was so much more. My fiance (now husband) and I thought we had everything taken care of with the exception of the final details. We had already booked the DJ, hair & makeup, the venue, had our invitations sent out.... what more was there to do??? How little we knew.... Alexa's organization and expertise blew us away. We filled out a number of online surveys so that she could make sure that she had every last detail taken care of. Everything from the rehearsal dinner, to the order that our family members would walk down the aisle, to who we wanted photos with (and who we didn't), toast speeches, what songs we wanted played and when, EVERYTHING was addressed and on the day of our wedding, she made sure that neither one of us had to worry about a thing. She attended so many of our meetings with our venue (even though we had a coordinator at the venue) and had an answer for us every time a minor dilemma or problem surfaced. Alexa also provided a number of helpful suggestions for seating charts, cards, first dance moment, re-use of floral arrangements to save money and so much more. I could tell you about how intuitive she is or how quick she was to respond (which is probably my biggest pet peeve when working with people). Or how on my wedding day, she was invaluable and handled everything with class, ease and a level of professionalism that is rarely seen. I will only ever recommend Alexa of Simply Modern Events to friends, family, colleagues.. anyone I come across who needs a wedding planner! ALEXA, WE LOVE YOU!!!!

In the last 30 days before the wedding, Alexa stepped up to help with the final coordinating, which greatly reduced the stress on my fiancée (now wife) and I. As a result, we were able to have our dream wedding without it putting us through the wringer. Even for minor details- like when I realized that my dress had gotten wrinkled en route to our venue- Alexa had a solution. I don't know what we would've done without her! While (hopefully) I won't be needing her wedding planning services again, I definitely consider a good friend, and terrific person. I definitely recommend her and her staff to anyone thinking of tying the knot in the Valley area!

The stars aligned so perfectly for us in that my husband and I were introduced to Cicely and…read moreRebecca a year and a half ago. As our one year anniversary approaches, we are excitedly returning to Phoenix *and* we are excitedly going to meet up with our new, dear friends Cicely & Rebecca. A little back story, my husband and I have been together for 19 years now. As two guys, we once didn't even have the right to marry, and even today, as you can imagine, many people still are disapproving or are uncomfortable or whatnot. Anyhow, keep that in your back pocket. Back in 2016, we had a random work trip to Phoenix. We decided to spend a night at the Biltmore, since we are huge Frank Lloyd Wright fans. We decided to get married there! It was the perfect spot. The wonderful Biltmore folks introduced us to Cicely and Rebecca (and two other planning firms), whom we met via Skype from our home back in NYC. Unlike the other planners, they wanted to get to know us and our story, unlike other planners who seemed to tick off a list of "what do you want at your wedding reception." We hit it off so PERFECTLY on the first call. It seemed to be meant to be how smart and talented and sweet they were. While we had nice meetings with the other planners, Life Design set the bar so much higher. From that point on, they did everything so perfectly. They were responsive at all hours of the day, they came up with creative ideas that always fit within our budget, and they provided sound advice on where to spend more money or less money to get our overall effect. They created such an impressive plan for us that we were excited every step of the way to see it play out. Since we didn't tell anyone that we were getting married after all these years, they worked with their recommended vendors to come up with a brilliant plan to send out a small book with the story of our lives as our "save the date." So in December of 2016, our family and friends got a box with a book in the mail. It was a huge hit with us and with everyone in our lives. Our invitations had such sophistication and class. They helped introduce us to incredibly talented and open minded and hard working vendors who never once caused us worry or concern. As we gave them the very complicated task of figuring out a memorable welcome reception within a reasonable budget, they worked and worked and worked and came up with a brilliant outdoor event at the Hermosa Inn, which included so many creative touches that our guests loved, including tacos cooked over cauldrons, a fun s'more station over a cauldron, and the beauty of the Southwest. What an event! Most importantly, I will be immodest and say our wedding was insanely awesome. They came up with a design that fit our aesthetic and the great setting of the Biltmore. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful and sophisticated everything was. They came up with beautiful details in terms of linens, furniture, table markers, signage, and everything else. Cicely and Rebecca worked their butts off. On the weekend of our wedding, our friends were amazed that we were relaxing by the pool with them because Cicely and Rebecca and their magical team took care of everything and we had nothing to worry about. We can't say a single negative thing, and we have nothing but the highest recommendation for these brilliant women. We love that they made our wedding so gorgeous and so artistic and so high-end. We love that they worked carefully with our needs. We love that they were so attentive and hard working. We love that they are so caring and open-minded. Wow. Just wow. Thank you.

On our wedding day, Dana did an amazing job at timing and coordinating vendors to line up all the little details. Our guests were quite impressed with how well organized and beautiful our wedding was. When a mishap happened, Dana dealt with it like a true professional and took proper steps to ensure we had the most wonderful experience with her service.

Pros: * Amy traveled to our venue, was prepared with…read morepaperwork/diagrams, & took measurements of everything * Organized & thorough * Helpful vendor recommendations. We used her caterer & florist, & they exceeded our expectations * Organized platform on google drive for all documents such as contracts, deposits, etc. * Amy worked with us from May 2021 - Oct 2022 * Rayna, Amy's daughter who attended our wedding, was very attentive She checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. She was very aware of the timeline & made sure vendors were too. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Cons: * Amy breached her contract by double-booking herself the night of 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 a full 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 Petrovsky." 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 * Rayna, Amy's daughter who attended our wedding, was an "Event Assistant" for Sensational Events from May 2014 - May 2018. This is not comparable to the 25 years of experience that Amy has, which is what we thought we were paying for. * 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 original assigned table. This split up family and friends in an awkward way that we did not intend. * 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. * Amy advertised to us that she had a "crew" of team members, but she is the sole planner of all her events. While Rayna was there the day of, that seemed far from a crew Thankfully, 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 PETROVSKY!

Magical, Epic Sedona Creekside Wedding - Best Day Ever!…read moreSensational is just the beginning working with Amy! It's taken some time to write a review that appropriately captures what Amy created for us and how much we truly appreciate and adore her! Our initial introduction to Amy (best Google Search result EVER!) was truly sensational right from the start. Amy is full of endless energy, caring and expertise - the fairy godmother of wedding/event planning! I had spent a lot of time on Pinterest and I had a LOT of ideas. Amy expertly guided us through the process while keeping the aesthetic vision on track and always ALWAYS thinking of every single detail (and details for the details - she is the definition of meticulous and organized!). Amy's relationships with a variety of vendors was impressive and clearly one of mutual respect and admiration. She made the process fun and exciting and ensured we had the perfect vendors for our wedding; negotiating contracts, details and thinking of things we didn't even consider. Our site required some substantial additional work to prepare and of course Amy had the perfect vendors for us and even came back to Sedona to to help with all of the details. We wanted our wedding to be on a dock on the creek and when there was a last-minute issue with the dock being constructed it turned out Amy had already considered that and had a backup plan-she had a full stage constructed out over the creek (talk about epic!). FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE One of our favorite design elements was the "swing tree." Amy immediately saw the potential in a majestic Sycamore tree on property with the vision of a romantic swing suspended from 30 feet above. She located a vendor in Russia that made a custom oak and macrame swing and installed a crystal chandelier centered above the swing and then decorated w/ a lush, stunning arrangement of flowers from top to bottom. Perfect place for our "First Look". Amy spent countless hours on our gorgeous hospitality gift bags. Sourcing items, personalizing & assembling each bag plus personal delivery to guests in hotels & vacation rentals. The entire weekend and wedding day was nothing short of magical and epic! Amy had stunning chandeliers throughout the property, twinkle lights and perfect furniture vignettes for each location. She had a dance floor installed outside with a gorgeous, giant chandelier above the center as if it was suspended from the sky. Our family absolutely couldn't wait for us to see the breathtaking transformation. Amy also suggested an Adventure Shoot and epic is an understatement. The photos are simply breathtaking! Amy will hold your hand through the entire process and on that day she literally held my hand as I hiked out onto those rocks in my dress and heels for the perfect Sedona sunset wedding photos I had dreamed of. Amy had every aspect organized to ensure each detail was captured and the entire experience, for us and the guests, flowed gracefully throughout the day/evening. Amy did it all with grace, heartfelt enthusiasm and perfect attention to detail. Our family/guests are still talking about what a magical, incredible weekend and all of the details Amy created that made it so special in every way. We were able to just enjoy our special weekend and feel absolutely confident Amy was handling everything. I am still amazed how Amy treats every client as if they are her only client and was always there every step of the way; never too busy for any question or concern. My husband said so many times how fortunate we were to have Amy and all she did for us to ensure our wedding weekend was everything we wanted it to be and more. The best compliment of all is the wonderful friendship we now share. Thank you Amy for being the most SENSATIONAL wedding planner ever, our much loved friend and making our (my...) chandelier-filled Pinterest wedding dreams come true! We love you!
