SQN Events

Beth and her team was wonderful. I couldn't have been happier.

Hiring Beth of Sqn Events as our wedding planner was the first and best decision I made when it came to planning my wedding. Since we were getting married in Chicago, but living in Utah- I was very nervous about the many unknowns of planning a destination wedding. Beth was very knowledgeable, and always able to answer any question. She was also very flexible and able to work around our schedule when were able to fly into town for planning. I really felt like I was her number one client.

The thing I appreciated most was her advice on which vendors to hire. We absolutely loved every vendor that she referred, especially our photographer. She completely understood our vision, and seamlessly brought that vision to life!

On the day of the wedding, Beth was able to keep everything running on schedule without making things feel stressful or rushed. I can honestly say that our wedding was everything I dreamed it would be.

Thank you, Beth, for making our wedding day magical!

Beth Bernstein did a phenomenal job planning our wedding. She introduced us to vendors that matched our personal style and took care of every last detail, including sending in our license. She is the utmost professional, running a tight ship with both style and grace. Most importantly she is someone you can trust!

SQN helped make our wedding a very special event.

Beth and her team were absolutely amazing! Their "weekend of wedding planner services" truly allowed us (and our families) to fully focus on enjoying the celebration and time with our family and friends - they took care of all of the details so we did not have to worry about anything! Beth even went above and beyond and assisted with some of our pre-wedding planning tasks!

I cannot say enough great things about Beth and SQN events! I hired Beth 4 months before my wedding and I so wish I had found her sooner! Beth completely understood my vision after just one meeting and introduced me to amazing vendors who were the perfect fit and who each did an incredible job. Beth is so organized, professional and helpful in guiding you during your planning. There are so many options and decisions to be made and I completely trusted Beth with helping me. Beth and her team make you feel like you are their only client and will make sure you don't have to worry about a thing on your wedding day. For example, Beth brought lunch to the hotel for the entire bridal party( something that completely had slipped my mind!). On top of that, they brought all of our personal belongings and flower arrangments to my father's house the next day! It is obvious that Beth loves what she does and she genuinely cares about making sure your wedding is everything you want it to be. I am so glad I had Beth to guide me through planning and to have her there on our wedding day!

I am so happy we chose to work with Beth! She made our wedding day absolutely amazing. Not only was she very responsive on all of our needs, she also calmed the situation during stressful times. She worked with our vendors to make sure everything was perfect and to our liking. I would definitely work with Beth again!

Beth and her team at SQN events went above and beyond in every way to make our wedding day truly perfect, and most importantly to make it a carefree, joyous celebration for everyone. Beth was on-hand for any and all last minute questions during the week leading up to our wedding, even driving over to my house on a Sunday morning to help resolve a wedding dress alterations dilemma. She was reliable, professional, and extremely capable throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, I didn't worry about a thing, knowing that Beth and her wonderful team were taking care of everything. Beth was more than just a planner, she was a caring friend and a trusted confidant. At the end of the day, we were thrilled with our choice to hire Beth, and felt that the services she provided were invaluable in making our wedding a beautiful, joyous occasion. Thank you, Beth and everyone at SQN!!!

Beth Bernstein added so much value and so much comfort to my family on my daughter's wedding weekend. Having her on our wedding team made everything run smoothly -- the rehearsal, all communications between the band and the catering staff, the florist/design people, etc. Beth provided a terrific backup makeup artist on short notice when our first choice faced a serious health crisis. Beth kept our Bride calm and confident and helped her resolve a looming wardrobe malfunction with her strapless, backless designer gown. In short, Beth helped us create a magical wedding without breaking the budget. She was delightful and extremely professional in every regard. We didn't even think we needed a day-of wedding coordinator, much less a wedding planner, but we are so privileged to have benefited from Beth and her deep reserves of skills and connections throughout the last six months of the planning process.. Together we created the perfect wedding for our daughter and her groom!

Beth and her team were amazing. From the very beginning of our planning Beth had impeccable taste. She introduced us to an amazing florist, amazing custom stationary company, and amazing bakery (which sadly now has closed). Our wedding was very detailed and one to two months before our wedding the venue coordinator moved away. We were so worried with the venue new staff because it seemed that they were unaware of so many of our wedding day details. Beth worked with the new venue coordinator and made sure everything went smoothly. It was 106 degrees on our wedding day. Beth and her team went into contingency mode and worked with the venue to make arrangements to keep our guests cool and happy. She even wore a dress that coordinated with our wedding colors! Her staff was on hand for our every need on our wedding day and we could not have been more impressed. I thought I had lost my bridal bouquet after our reception but when we got back to our hotel room there was all of our belongings from the reception and there was my bouquet in a vase on the table waiting for me!. Beth is very petite but don't let that fool you, she is a work horse! Did I mention she hooked me up with the BEST hair and make up team ever?! My mom is still talking about how much she loved our hair and make up 6 months later and she is tough to impress! If you want to work with the best and not deal with attitude and pretense hire Beth and her team!

Beth is amazing, and I can't tell everyone how much we appreciated everything she did for us. She was by far the best vendor that we worked with during the wedding planning process (we worked with a number of high profile Chicago vendors). Our wedding had a lot of hiccups along the way (eg. no officiant 30 minutes before the wedding; guests without pre-ordered food), but Beth handled everything professionally and made both my wife and me feel at ease. She is truly one of the best wedding planner/organizers in Chicago and people would be stupid not to hire her.

Beth was my day-of coordinator and she was awesome. She was in control and totally calm, even succeeding at getting my sister to spit out her gum before walking down the aisle (not an easy feat). Any request I had, she tended to immediately. So great to work with ~ highly recommended!

Beth at the team at SQN were amazing to work with. Our wedding on 11/12/11 went off without a hitch and there is no way we could've done it without them. Beth is professional, organized, well informed and fun to work with. She was proactive in giving me suggestions and advice but was never pushy. I took 99% of her suggestions and am so glad I did. Our wedding was amazing and we owe her a huge thank you. I highly recommend SQN events for planning and/or weekend of coordination. They are fantastic. Thank you Beth, Stephanie & Ashley for makeing our wedding perfect!

Wedding planning and coordination could not be any better when working with SQN Events. Beth is truly 5 star service!

Beth was such a pleasure to work with - she truly did make the event take flight in so many ways. Her responsiveness was invaluable and something I really appreciate in any vendor. Let's face it, things will go wrong on a wedding day, and it's how you handle them that create the divide between a good wedding planner and a great one. Beth definitely falls into the "great" category, and our wedding simply wouldn't have been so well put together without her. Also, she became a true friend throughout the process, providing direction and advice that helped me greatly both as a woman and a bride.

Hiring Beth and her team was hands-down the smartest decision we made when planning our wedding. Beth is a true professional: she listens, gets things done the way they are supposed to be, and is a wonderful advocate for the bride and groom (whether it be with working with vendors, or navigating tricky family dynamics). Beth consistently went above and beyond any expectations we could have had when we hired her--not because she was asked, but because she genuinely wants her couples to have the most perfect day possible.

There are seemingly countless more wonderful things I could say to praise Beth, but if you are reading this and have gotten this far, do yourself a favor: pick up the phone and call Beth. Have a meeting, and then hire her. She is amazing, and you will be thanking your lucky stars on your wedding day and beyond that you had her at your side.

Beth was an exceptional planner and a great emotional support for the entire wedding process. She had first class recommendations and knew how to stretch the budget to make a magnificent day even better. She has even helped with post wedding vendor issues and is always quick to respond.

Beth was wonderful to work with. She was so helpful, always responded immediately, and was a huge reason why our wedding was perfect.

Beth was my absolute rock at our wedding! From asking (and more importantly, getting answers to!) every question on my mind before I'd even ask at our rehearsal to quieting my nervous concerns right before I walked down the aisle, she was all over it! I felt confident that Beth had us covered! And knowing you have the freedom to be worry free on your wedding day....such an amazing feeling and wonderful luxury.

Beth really helped us all keep it together and made sure the night was one we could never ever forget! I can’t thank Beth and SQN enough! ♥

SQN brings a fresh, creative and personalized perspective to your wedding. Whether you know exactly what you want or you are still defining it, SQN (Beth Bernstein was my planner)adds value and helps make your vision better than you ever imagined. I do not live in Chicago, but Beth got to know me and my taste and was my advocate at meetings I could not attend in person (or at all). She understood my style and worked to make the wedding mine. She knew exactly when and how to step up to help my family and me and when to take a more secondary role. We loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone - even my closest friends and family.

SQN events provided exemplary service and value for our money. I can't imagine planning another event without their services!

Beth Bernstein and SQN events helped us realize the perfect wedding celebration party for our son and new daughter-in-law. Beth completely understood our vision for the party, helping us decide on the perfect spot to celebrate. She suggested so many wonderful touches that added tremendously to the occasion--things we never would have thought of without her help. And she was very respectful of the budget we set for the event. Beth's creativity, responsiveness, big picture vision as well as attention to detail, all made it wonderful to work with her. And we had such fun working with her too! We'd definitely use SQN again to plan a wedding or another special event.

Beth is a wonderful wedding planner. She attended to every detail and was always ready to help! She has great communication skills and always checked in with us to give an update on what she had done. She went out of her way to make our day amazing. She will ensure your day runs smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!!!

Beth Berstein of SQN Events is a pleasure to work with! Not only is she extremely thorough, but her wonderful energy and great personality make her and her team the perfect addition to any wedding or event. As a photographer, it is always a treat to be in such capable and talented hands, and I look forward to working with SQN Events again and again in the future.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Beth of SQN Events. Her attention to detail, organization and excellent communication made the event a complete success. Beth puts her clients first and it shows. I look forward to working with SQN Events again soon.

I cannot recommend Beth and SQN Events more highly. I have never seen a wedding coordinator do more for her clients than Beth. Her impeccable taste, knowledge of fashion and trends, and fabulous network of vendors makes her an invaluable asset to any lucky brides planning.

We love working with SQN Events and their savvy, stylish clients! As planners these spunky ladies are organized, creative and most of all, passionate about what they do. You can trust that SQN will handle your event with care, covering all of the bases and helping to create a beautiful soiree, no matter what you are celebrating!

Beth from SQN is amazing to work with. She is a fun, personable, cool lady who is just a blast. I've provided favors for several of her events, and she is very organized. I get regular updates from her so I'm never left wondering what's going on. On top of that, she's always very professional and gracious, managing to run around and get things done without a hair out of place or stepping on any toes. I highly recommend Beth/SQN Events to anyone.

I recently had the pleasure of working with SQN Events and cannot say enough good things about them! They were incredibly professional, easy to work with and beautifully creative.
