Step inside of Illuminate in Sunrise, Florida, and find a unique wedding venue filled with light and love for your event. Your limo can drop you off at our celebrity entrance to your private VIP Bridal suite— complete with a Hollywood style make-up bar where you can relax and enjoy champagne with friends and family as they help you get ready for your big day. Plus, our totally unique event venue is the only venue with a cause. This means while you are celebrating your once-in-a-lifetime event, you will also be changing the world for children who have disabilities, as proceeds directly fund our life-saving programs at our JAFCO Children’s Ability Center. Our venue is available for any celebration including bar/bat mitzvahs and other teen celebrations, weddings and special lifetime moments, social events, and corporate events.
Facilities and Capacity
At Illuminate, you will be surrounded by a canvas of 10,000 square feet of event space. Your guests will enter through our pre-event bar and lounge and will be immediately immersed in the incredible light sculpture installation created by artist Mads Christenson. Our venue includes a 20-foot-long white marble bar for your signature drinks and wine service, with space for appetizers, refreshments, and more. The main ballroom can be divided into three spaces to include a ceremony, reception, and celebration at the end of the night. Our venue provides the perfect place for you and up to 300 of your special guests to mingle, enjoy fabulous food, and dance the night away. You are welcome to use our state-of-the-art built-in sound and audio-visual system for music, toasts, and heartwarming speeches, as well as to project crystal clear video and photo montages. Our facilities provide furniture, including stools, chairs, chair covers, tables, and customizable LED lighting. With complete flexibility and creativity at your disposal, this dynamic space comes to life with our unique wall-to-ceiling lighting system.
Services Offered
Our team is happy to help you create your dream wedding with experienced coordinators that are available to assist you as you plan your event from start to finish. We offer a range of all-inclusive packages and can provide a list of our top vendors to match your budget and taste. These referrals include caterers, florists, decor, valet services, and more. You may also choose to bring your own vendors, as we do work with vendors with liability insurance. In addition to these event services, we are known as the only "venue for a cause," because all proceeds from your special day directly fund our JAFCO Children’s Ability Center, providing support and care for children with special needs.
