Quality uplighting and draping service!

If you are looking for uplighting, draping or other services for your wedding or event look no further! Chris and his team at Ever After Events are who you want to make your special day perfect! With little direction, he curated the best uplighting for our space and installed beautiful drapes to hang a sign for photos. The team is professional, experienced, and delivers quality. I could not recommend him enough. Thank you Chris!!!

BEST decision we made was hiring EverAfterEvents

Choosing EverAfterEvents was the best decision we made for our wedding! Chris made everything fun and stress free! He was very flexible and responsive to all of our wants and needs! It rained the day of our ceremony and I really wanted to ride in on my horse without anyone knowing, despite the rain he encouraged me to just go for it! He didn’t mind moving his equipment in the rain so I could have my dream wedding! Our guests said it was the funnest wedding they have been to DJ skills to keep the dance floor full all night !! Every thing from the dancing on a cloud, starlit back drop, Dj, photo-booth, customizing a first dance mash up, monogram, and suggesting fun ideas for us to make it different! Chris is the man!!! Absolutely the best day of our lives making lifetime memories for not only us but all of our guests! Highly recommend!

The Best Around!

We used Every After Events for our draping, uplighting, monogram, and snow machine for our wedding this past December. The room looked absolutely amazing when Chris was done setting up! We were blown away. He was able to personalize a Disney monogram for us for our Disney themed wedding. We definitely recommend Every After Events!

Awesome Photo Booth and Uplighting

Chris and Staff,

Thank you so much for making Brian and I's day beautiful and fun! The monogram and uplighting was awesome! The monogram was the perfect backdrop behind Brian and I's sweetheart table, and the blue uplighting was the perfect compliment to the room. We received many compliments on how beautiful the reception was. Also, thank you for the photo booth! It has been so much fun looking through the photo book, and reliving that night. The photo booth was so much cooler than I remembered! I guess it's because you book these things so far in advance you kind of forget, but I was extremely happy with the look of the booth. It was awesome.

Everyone, including Brian and I, had an amazing time. Thank you again for all of your hard work. We truly appreciate it!

Best Vendor ever!

You can not go wrong with Ever After Events! They go above and beyond for their customers! Chris was so easy to work with and made everything perfect for my special day! We did our photo booth, uplighting, monogram and dancing on a cloud for our first dance! Everything was beyond fabulous! Our guests are still raving to me how much fun they had in the photobooth and photo album we received with it surely shows that! Do NOT hesitate to book Ever After Events for your wedding needs! It will be the best thing you could do for your big day!

By far most outgoing vendor we dealt with!

We hired ever after events to DJ the reception, provide amplified sound for the ceremony, provide up lighting in reception hall, provide draping at our wedding shower and ceremony, and to provide a photo booth / props during our reception. Everything was perfect. We made things challenging with our demands and our locations (out buildings and out doors) but Chris worked with us every step of the way. He was very accommodating to our last minute changes and requests. He even helped us out tremendously when we were looking for advice on aspects of the wedding he wasn’t directly involved with. He played all of our requested music and added music that matched our tastes perfectly. Pricing was very reasonable. When you’re paying for a wedding you really start to dread cutting checks to all your vendors, but with Ever After i was happy to pay for the services we received. At the end of the night Chris and his crew really hustled to meet the take down deadline of 12:30 am set by the vendor. Not only was he gone without a trace, but he also noticed some things we left behind (items rented from other vendors we left behind). He collected the items and kept them safe for us. That saved us a ton. Lastly but most importantly - the whole wedding process is super stressful, and we were nervous we would mess some stuff up with the reception and the walk outs and all the traditional demonstrations at the wedding (cake cutting, first dance, speeches). Chris kept everything on track. He basically took charge of the wedding party (which may or may not have been slightly under the influence at the time) for a few minutes and made sure everything with the walk out and reception proceedings went flawlessly. My husband and I can thank Ever After Events for our successful wedding.

It was extremely convenient to have one-stop shopping with Ever After Events to help us with a host of rental items we needed, uplighting at the venue, multimedia equipment and of course DJ and emcee services. Chris did an outstanding job for our Annual Gala as emcee, and DJ. He was very professional and entertaining. He provided us with an ample PA system for the large room we rented, as well as high quality multimedia equipment to broadcast our electronic bidding leader board and presentations. Chris also stepped in to resolve a couple issues we encountered unexpectedly.

Chris is one of the best vendors I have worked with in Northwest, Indiana. Very professional and always a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him and his service. The ceiling canopy is the nicest I have seen in the industry.

Every time we have worked with Chris and Ever After Events we have enjoyed it. The uplighting and drapery add so much to the wedding reception photos. Chris is always on point with the schedule which helps us as photographers capture better images as we know what and when things will happen. He always keeps the dance floor rocking too. We highly recommend Ever After Events.
