Simply the best!

Working with Beth (and SQN events) was all around wonderful. We truly were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing she is fiercely organized and has a strong attention to detail. Leading up to the wedding, she worked closely with me, helping manage a significant amount of detail items which were unique to our wedding. I couldn't imagine our day without Beth, and am lucky I didn't have to. She is the best and I could not recommend her more!

Fabulous Event Planner!

We could not say enough about Beth and her team. We had a complex venue at the Chicago Cultural Center with all of the nuances of having a large, elegant wedding a public building. But when the freight elevator became unavailable for our event, Beth was amazing. She had triaged with all of the vendors and had a plan worked out before even calling me (kudos to Lara from the CCC also). Beth is the ultimate professional - she is organized, methodical, cool under pressure and has exquisite taste. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

SQN FTW! (for the win ;)

Partnering with Beth and her fabulous SQN Event team was a wonderful experience. Beth provided great recommendations, kept us organized and on-track, and the day-of coordination was outstanding. As a bride, one of my favorite things about SQN Events was having someone that was solely focused on making sure my dress was perfect, my purse was packed with everything I needed for the day, I was wearing deodorant!, my bridesmaids dresses were steamed, and every bowtie was perfectly tied & straight. It was nice to "not sweat the small stuff" and know that everything was handled so that we could truly focus on enjoying the day with our family and friends. Beth also had a very thorough checklist of "to dos" prepared leading up to our wedding day - including details such as "break in your wedding shoes" a couple months prior to the big day. When we first decided to move forward with working with Beth we were strangers, and throughout the process of planning our wedding together we became fast friends! It was a pleasure working with Beth and the SQN team and it was an experience that we will never forget.
