Clearly the same Pinterest inspiration.

You want something different. Something…

Innovative. Exciting. Memorable. Unforgettable. Breathtaking.

Show-stopping events don’t just happen.

And you can’t just add sparkly linens or colorful uplights to create something special.

They require passion, expertise, and ingenuity.

Meet Our Visionaries

Chris from ILLUME did specialized lighting and drapery for our wedding in June 2019. He created this beautiful bistro lighting to replace the ugly industrial looking lights in our space, as well as this amazing drapery that divided our room in two for ceremony and reception. I could not BELIEVE how spectacular the drapery looked for how little it cost! I was envisioning this little room divider, but it was a whole floor to ceiling luxe extravaganza! Also helped us hang a customized neon sign I had made. Highest recommendation!

Above & Beyond Experience

Professional Process + No Limits Design

Step 01. DISCOVERY + DESIGN

We start by listening to your ideas and learning about you, your style, and your needs. We discover how you want your day to look and feel. Then we create a one-of-a-kind design that knows no limits.

Step 02. PREPARATION + PRODUCTION

If it’s not on our shelves, and we can’t find what you want, we’ll create it for you. Our team spends countless hours making our own drapery, building custom decor structures, and earnestly preparing for your event.

Step 03. TRANSFORMATION

Our team comes prepared and ready to transform your space. From start to finish, we ensure everything is of the highest quality. And we don’t rest until we’ve accomplished the unforgettable atmosphere you and your guests deserve.

Discover Your Possibilities

Chris totally transformed our church hall (almost like a cafeteria) into a soft romantic space that truly set the tone. He was awesome to work with – he met with us in the hall twice and developed a creative vision – an airwall to cut off the empty space and make an inviting entrance; another airwall to hide the kitchen pass-through & door and ugly switches, etc.; a starburst ceiling with fairy lights He was very sensitive to our budget and really worked with us. The setup was meticulous, too – they made the draping fall just right. The room was breathtaking, no one could believe the transformation. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

We had heard a lot of great things about Chris and his decorations from our vendor coordinator, and he definitely lived up to the hype! He gave great advice on our phone consultation on what he thought would work well, and gave us options for us to choose from. His invoicing and contracts were all online and super easy to do, and made it very clear what each party’s obligations were. About a month before, Chris checked in to make sure we wanted to change anything up before the event or had any questions, which was great to make sure we had what we needed. We wanted our lighting to make the venue seem smaller and more intimate, and it did exactly that. We were really pleased with how it turned out, and got loads of compliments on the set up. It looked great! The best thing a vendor could do for us is give us the feeling we had nothing to worry about leading up to and on our wedding day. Chris did exactly that. Thank you!
