LIGHTING CREATES DRAMATIC EFFECT AT SCOTTSDALE BAT MITZVAH

LIGHTING CREATES DRAMATIC EFFECT AT SCOTTSDALE BAT MITZVAH

Give an event planner a blank white canvas and magic happens! That’s what we had for a recent Scottsdale Bat Mitzvah. With a 6,000 square foot white tent to work with, my creative Sensational Event’s team designed an impressive and inviting atmosphere for a dance themed Mitzvah that gave teens a lounge area to hang out in and adults a sophisticated though youthful formal seating.

One major design element that I always encourage my clients to include in their decor package is lighting. As you can see below the powerful effects lighting has can make a space go from beautiful to over-the-top striking! Adding up lights to the perimeter of the room and a pop of color on the tables will create a glow that will reflect attractively in your photography.

HAPPY CLIENTS

It was meant to be that I met Amy Petrovsky, owner of Sensational Events, outside of Costco just eight weeks before my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. After only a few minutes of chatting it was clear I needed her help with finalizing all my ideas. Amy is all about creating a personalized experience. Our ideas and her creative design solutions developed a stunning design and a beautiful reflection of our daughter’s love of dancing. Every detail was meticulously addressed, including the table design color palate, the room’s ambiance lighting, and the flow of the evening. I wish everyone had the same passion as Amy because you can really tell she loves her work. With five daughters, you bet we will use Sensational Events for our upcoming mitzvah and the weddings that will surely follow. Thank you Amy! 🙂

Happy Clients

“I had the opportunity to work with Sensational Events to help coordinate a large industry party/event in Phoenix for an Ad Tech company, Altitude Digital. The vision for the event was quite unique in concept, so it was in our best interest to hire a local event company to fulfill our specific needs. When we first inquired about their business specialties and availability, Amy P. was responsive, thorough and helpful, which are always great elements to building a quick business relationship.

Amy P. showed enthusiasm throughout our planning stage, and delivered on meeting our needs and expectations. In fact, she went above and beyond with many of the deliverables, including introducing us to other great vendors that we plan to use again. I was especially impressed with her emphasis to detail and willingness to tackle and take on more projects as our event approached. Amy truly puts her heart and soul into every Sensational Events relationship. We’re very grateful for her dedication, expertise and highly recommend her to anyone!”

Peace, Love, Bat Mitzvah

Peace, love, Bat Mitzvah! Sonia’s celebration expressed her free-spirited personality with peace signs, bright colors and youthful flowers. The evening was captured by Harley Bonham Photography along beautiful centerpieces by Jan Dekker Designs; ceiling and room decor by Creative Occasions, and LED screens by Creative Backstage. Guests enjoyed henna designs and the engaging photo booth by Pictures This AZ. Venue, The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch. Details have the ability to transform any space into a powerful expression.

HAPPY CLIENTS

“Amy Petrovsky came highly recommended to me by several trusted people. I interviewed several event planners for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah but after meeting with Amy, knew she was the right choice. Amy was very professional and understood my time constraints. I hired Amy a year before the event and she was incredible at laying out the timeline and making sure there was no stress while planning. Amy is incredibly organized and detailed. The budget she presented was concise and she guided me in key decisions so that we would come in at or slightly below the budget. My daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and weekend festivities were perfect! Everyone had a great time and I would not hesitate to hire Amy again!”

I planned my son’s wedding in fewer than five months and from another state. Amy was a huge help and calming presence from the moment I first spoke with her on the phone.

She is quick to respond to email, texts or phone calls. Her creative ideas and organization skills are clearly based on years of experience producing successful events. I appreciated her straightforward communications with me and all the vendors. My only regret is that I did not hire her on the very first day that my son became engaged!
