LK Events would like to offer the SMP audience 10% off our Full and Partial Wedding Coordination Packages if they mention they found us on SMP.


From SQN Events... SQN Events comes from the Latin phrase “Sine Qua Non,” which translates to “essential or indispensable ingredient.” Working with the right consultant is essential when planning your wedding. And on your wedding day, your consultant will be indispensable — making sure that everything runs smoothly and seamlessly from start to finish.
At SQN Events, we believe that planning a wedding is a creative, collaborative and rewarding process. We work with you on creating and sculpting your vision, and then manage every detail. We help you secure the optimum for each component – the perfect venue, unique and personal invitations, visionary florists, the ideal entertainment, and more.
We design the entire event from concept to detailed itinerary, and ensure that our standards — and yours — are met each step of the way. On your wedding day, we handle every detail so that you can actually enjoy being the guest of honor for one of the most memorable moments of your life.
Sine Qua Non — Essential to Your Event.
We are pleased to offer SMP Illinois readers a ten percent discount off services booked before February 1, 2012. This discount may be applied to your contract or donated in honor of your wedding to the charity of your choice.

Gorgeous, right?!? Make sure to stop by their websites and show them some SMP love. (And be prepared to stay awhile... We don't call them planning geniuses for nothing!) Welcome to the SMP family, LK Events and SQN Events! We are so happy to have you!
