If you are looking to upgrade your event, look no further. We hired them for lighting & design and were super pleased with the execution. With all of my last minute requests, they accommodated them with ease and everything turned out wonderfully. The lighting really elevated the space & experience.

I’m so glad we made the decision to hire a lighting designer - what a difference it made in all of the photo & video we received! They took my vision for setting the mood and creating a different look between the ceremony and reception space - not to mention providing an awesome custom dance floor & drapery. EEL is an amazing team to work with for any event, but especially weddings!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Maureen, Jay and team did an amazing job with our wedding lighting at Theatre on the Lake. Their expertise was invaluable, as they transformed our initial vision into an elegant setup and even managed to save us money with some of their final suggestions. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing lighting setup for their wedding!

EEL was amazing to work with from beginning to end! They previous worked with our venue, The Morton Arboretum before so they shared some ideas to us prior to booking with them. It really helped getting an idea what our day will look like. Our Cafe lights and uplighting was absolute perfection and set the mood for our day!
Thank you!

Elegant Event Lighting did a magnificent job. Jay and his crew spared nothing from the Chuppah to the lighting and Isle it was absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend EEL !! We were wowed!!

Elegant Event and Lighting truly made my wedding magical! I was in awe when I walked into our wedding ballroom! It was so beautiful and elegant it brought tears to my eyes! How stunning my backdrop and lighting was! I couldn't stop looking at it all night! I so recommend them and great to work with!
Love! Love! Love!

Wow! Where do I even begin.... When I first thought of the idea of a DIY wedding in my Godmother's back yard full of numerous heartfelt memories, I knew it would take planning, effort, and determination. I pinned on Pinterest for days, weeks, months, and finally came up with a dream vision for the ceremony and tent! I did my research with my now husband, and found Elegant Event Lighting. Being out of state planning a wedding, WE knew it would take more effort. Well, we were wrong! Jay and his team at EEL made our vision come to life even across the states. We had one meeting face to face to go over pictures, ideas, and a plan to make our dream wedding come to life, and his team really put it in action! Jay remained in constant communication with us from Arizona to Illinois. He not only had a positive attitude but made our wedding feel special and unique! He was determined to do what it takes to make all of our doubts diminish! The day of came and just WOW!!!! All of the effort his team put in, came to life in the perfect picture of our vision! We had an unexpected down pour right before the ceremony, but the lights held up and looked even more romantic then expected! The ambiance in the tent was just gorgeous and the chandelier above the dance floor! Our guests still compliment how beautiful it was... Now, don't even get us started on the ceremony 4 pole arch.

We knew doing a unique "backyard wedding," that Darlene wanted the spectacular wedding feel! She also knew that she didn't want what any other venue had.... After numerous conversations, Jay brought her whimsical ceremony to life! We had a beautiful ivory ceremony arch/back drop with greenery! How romantic! We got to marry (the love of our life) under the most drop dead gorgeous setting. Jay and the Elegant Event Lighting Team, your effort (even with the last minute changes due to weather) really put ourselves at ease! We knew we were in great hands and could enjoy the day from sunrise till the party ended past 1 a.m... We will continue to recommend you to anyone that wants their unique wedding vision to come to life!

Thanks again for making us feel special and that our wedding was unique and not just any wedding.

We will never forget the love we felt that day. We still feel it on our picture wall in our living room, looking at the gorgeous memories that were made in the most beautiful tent and most elegant ceremony arch.

One day, we will recommend you to our children :)

Our wedding would not have been the same if it weren’t for Elegant Event Lighting. Jay was the person in charge of our event and from the consultation call to execution of event on the day of the wedding, he was just top notch! I loved that their company had previously worked at our venue, making him more knowledgeable of what he can and cannot do to the ballroom, eliminating the back and forth between the venue and the décor company. He helped me stay within my budget and still achieve the look I had in mind. To be honest, they actually went above my expectations! Our venue was already beautiful, they simply elevated it to be more romantic, giving us and our guests that WOW factor we are looking to have as soon as you walk in the room. And when we started having technical difficulties with our DJ company, Jay was quick to jump in and offer his expertise with audio and visual. He certainly saved the day!! I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for décor and lighting company. They will make your event even better than you imagined it to be!

I am so happy we went with EEL! The lighting really took the room to another level. Our reception was at Maggiano's and I was so worried about it just looking like the restaurant. We did lighting on the dance floor, pin point lighting on our centerpieces, and our names on the wall. I was so excited to see how beautifully it turned out. It made our pictures turn out stunning (we don't have professional pics back yet, but the ones friends and family took). Jay was so easy to work with and so helpful giving suggestions on what would make the room special!

Elegant Event Lighting came through HUGE!!. They made the backdrop of our day fabulous with there lighting, white acrylic dance floor, Monogrammed floor and etc.... They were very helpful every step of the way and answered all questions in a timely format. Highly suggest this company.

Jay was super attentive and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Our backdrop turned out amazing and was everything I had envisioned. Worth every penny!
