As my wedding date approached, and I was getting reminders of payment from all my other professional vendors, I followed up with Vanessa to make sure I could make the final payment as I was a few days late. Her response was "I do not have the time to chase couples in order to receive payment." After paying a $200 deposit at the time of booking, she would no longer work with me and asked me to stop contacting her. Run away from this company. Every other company I am working with has sent courtesy reminders because they clearly want the business. Vanessa cannot be bothered. Do her the favor and do not give her any money.

I had very detailed visions for the rental furniture, the decor, the cake, the flowers, the order of events, on and on and her and her team (as well as her vendor referrals) made all our dreams come true. The day of our wedding was stress free, 100% enjoyable and came off as entirely effortless because she was on top of every single detail. There's no way we could've done any of it without her. My only regret is that we somehow forgot to have any pictures taken together! We're so thankful for her tremendous hard work and incredible can do and will do attitude!

We had initially spoke a month prior and she said she would reach out the week before the party to confirm, which she did! Unfortunately I did not respond due to being very sick, until a few days before the party. Allison still had us down and was ready to help us to make the day amazing! She helped us find the perfect pricing package (tables, chairs, and table linens) for the day, as well as doing drop off the day before and pick up the day after. Allison is kind, communicative, and very professional. I HIGHLY recommend Some Things Borrowed, Some Things New. Thank you, Allison!!!

Fortunately, I was able to reach Allison at Some Things Borrowed, Some Things New & she saved the day by going to the flower market, providing a hand written card, & delivering the flower arrangement to the hospital all the while taking care of her family & business. We can't say enough great things about them & hope this serves as a reminder of how we really need to support local business communities - there is absolutely no way the online platforms would go to these lengths to ensure your satisfaction. Although we live in San Francisco, we're thrilled to find a local florist for all future needs & we highly recommend them should you find yourself needing flowers.

Everytime I emailed or called, I received a response within the hour; this extended past normal business hours. The attendant was very helpful with framing the pictures, dressing the guests and working the booth. There were no malfunctions with the booth and everyone had a fabulous time taking tons of pictures with their friends, family and individual fun shots. We got a slogan on each photograph and the disc of all photographs. So, we can keep all the memories of everyone having a great time! The attendant was on-time and also gave me notice of when our time was almost over to get any last minute shots in. The booth was very large inside but didnt take an enormous amount of space, surprisingly. It fit perfectly at our event. I can say that this is worth every penny!

If my ugly Kim Kardashian crying of seen the reception hall is an enough, please enjoy the following photos.

I am a very Type-A individual that knows what I want but when it came to Tuby and her vision I was able to let the reins go and knew that she would create something absolutely beautiful. Her demeanor, her professionalism, her allergies to BS will help bring your vision to life! And if you are feeling brave enough, let go and allow her to give you the wedding of a lifetime!

For those looking to add the "WOW" experience to any one of your events, Finer Detailz (Tuby and…read morethe team) is the absolute best in the business! 10/10 RECOMMEND! My long awaited wedding day was an absolute DREAM come true and from the bottom of our hearts my husband and I couldn't thank Tuby, Meg, Michael, and all her exceptional team members that worked in the background for making this wedding an EXPERIENCE. The moment I hired finer detailz for FULL wedding coordination and design I felt at ease knowing they were going to deliver above my expectations and YES they exceeded every single one. I came to Tuby with a vision (or maybe several visions haha) and she truly made it come to life. She took a BLANK canvas and turned it into the most elegant, luxe, romantic, dark, moody, wedding reception I had ever seen. Everything from the tear drop tables, upside down hanging roses, velvet linens, gold reef chargers, candle galore, and cake swing was an absolute hit. As it came down to the week of the wedding, Tuby always made it a point to check in on me and see how I was doing. She made sure I was as relaxed as possible and always provided me a sense of security. That trust and bond we built really made my wedding week so stress free and I got to enjoy the wedding week with friends and family! Finer detailz really provided exceptional professionalism, elegance, and high end luxury rentals with an experienced team and top tier event designer. We are so thankful for the stress free experience they provided and can not wait to work with them for future events! We love the Finer Detailz Team xo

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!
