Terrific Experience!

We chose ILLUME to do ceiling draping for my daughter’s wedding at Succop Conservancy. They did an awesome job! Kristin was great to work with throughout the whole experience- all questions were answered promptly, and her responses and advice were invaluable in all the wedding craziness! They transformed a very nice pavilion into a lovely, elegant wedding reception space! Everyone was so impressed - especially the bride and groom! I highly recommend ILLUME for any draping or event needs that you have!

Highly recommend ILLUME!

Working with Kristin and Chris at ILLUME was a seamless process! I had originally intended to DIY a lot of the decorations for my wedding, so I came to them with my request a little late. I was nervous about finding a company that could create my vision with time ticking down. From the first call with Kristin, I knew it was a great fit. She was excited about my vision and had great ideas to supplement it.

Walking into the venue for the first time was the most "took my breath away" moment I had all weekend. It turned out lovelier than I imagined in my mind and brought up tears. I'm so happy I chose to work with ILLUME. (In the photos you can see the sweetheart table backdrop, entrance draping around the doors, and wrapped pillars, in addition to the sweetheart and cake tablecloths).

The set up and tear down was professional and they worked well with the venue's availability. It was so seamless I almost didn't see them at all! But luckily I caught them at the very end :)

Thank you Kristin & Chris for creating a simple but absolutely stunning soft elegance for our reception!

Breath-taking décor!

When you plan your wedding, you want it to be perfect. From the big things all the way down to the little details. If there is anyone who understands the importance of that, it's Kristin from Illume! Kristin was not only professional and friendly throughout the planning process but she was prompt to reply to emails and was able to pick up on the important details that I was describing for the wedding décor and made it come to life. We had chosen to go with artificial flowers for our centerpieces and when I tell you that you would never know they were artificial, you truly wouldn't know that they were artificial. Illume only uses quality products and the pictures don't do their work justice. These floral were so life like, I even thought they were real. Kristin insured that the décor that she was bringing to the event would perfectly blend and flow with the décor that I DIYed myself. With how detail oriented I am, it was hard to "give up the rains" to someone else to assist with the décor for our wedding, but at the end of the day I'm only one person and knew that I needed the help to pull off all that I had in mind. After meeting Kristin I knew that I was in excellent hands. Illume has a wide variety of centerpieces and a lighting options which made putting everything together for our wedding easy and fun. If you are looking for someone who can custom create lighting and center pieces for your next event, Illume Lighting + Event Design is who you NEED to hire. I can't recommend them enough!
