    Amazing work & worth every penny! Elevate your wedding with incredible lighting & stage design.

    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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Pacetti/Huff Wedding 09.25.2020

    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!
    Jason and Amanda

    A Whimsical Dream Wedding

    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...

    Elegance Is The Object of the Game

    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,...

    Such a beautiful touch to our day!

    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!

    Beautiful product, great staff

    EEL was great to work with and their ‘final product’ was BEAUTIFUL. We worked with Jay (sales) and Katie (production) and they were both professional and efficient – Jay worked with our budget and even helped with a last minute addition which definitely made our wedding ceremony elegant and everything I wanted. Katie worked with my event planner, but I heard no complaints from either. Definitely recommend them.

    Valerie was super professional. She was very prompt in responding to me and quick to answer any questions I had. Throughout the entire process of requesting a quote and days beyond the wedding, there has been zero issues with them as my vendor. She was able to create the vision I wanted via pictures I sent of Pinterest ideas. The lighted backdrop was such a beautiful touch to my wedding reception. I highly recommend them. I had zero stress working with them, they were easy to work with, they were inexpensive compared to the other vendors out there, and they did a fantastic job.

    Jay at Elegant Event Lighting provided the most elaborate draped backdrop for our wedding! The backdrop made the room look so regal! The team also set up pin spotting on our tall centerpieces and cake. The room was glowing with beauty after the Lighting team was through. Jay was also very easy to work with, he was able to suggest what would look great but design around what we wanted. Right before the wedding, the venue decided to throw this huge cost at us for using their electricity, Jay was able to devise a plan to save us money but appease the hotel as well. I am so thankful we used Elegant Event Lighting for the final details of our wedding! The room was gorgeous!

    Jay was great to work with over the phone to figure out the exact look I wanted for our wedding. The backdrop was everything we wanted it to be. It truly did help to transform the room. The uplighting made a huge difference as well. Overall, we were very happy that we ended up finding money in our budget to add a backdrop.

    we had a vision for our wedding and we thought adding lights would bring a different feel to it. well we were right cause it really did. I contacted a few different lighting vendors and elegant Event Lighting was one of the few that I did not have to hound for a call back. They were very helpful with ideas and they were more in our budget than other companys. They did exactly what they said they would do. We were very happy with Elegant Event Lighting and even recommended them to my cousin for her upcoming wedding

    Elegant Event Lighting was wonderful!!

    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 is the best!

    Valerie and the team did an absolutely amazing job! Working with them was such an easy process. After just a handful of emails back and forth, everything was set up. I got married at Crystal Tree Golf and Country Club and I asked them to create a ceiling canopy with drapes and lights over the dance floor. I also specified that I wanted the current window drapes at the venue to be covered in white drapes but to leave the windows themselves uncovered to let all the light through. I was completely blown away on the day of! It was everything I had imagined and more. So many of our guests were commenting on how beautiful the drapes and lights looked. Even the venue staff were saying that the room had never looked more beautiful.

    EEL was fantastic! We decided last minute to to put down a vinyl dance floor and string cafe lights from the tent ceiling and they were so helpful in working with our budget! Valerie was very professional and extremely helpful in giving us different options that would work with what we wanted and keeping with our esthetic and financial goals! Would absolutely work with them again!

    EEL was wonderful to work with. Staff openly communicated with me when I had questions and were extremely professional. I appreciated the reassurance that was provided and trusted them completely. The end result was spectacular! We decided to add Cafe Globe Lights to our venue to brighten it up a bit and we were not disappointed! The extra lighting provided the added sparkle and looked beautiful. It totally transformed the space. Not only was did EEL provide great service but the end result was gorgeous. I would highly recommend working with EEL for you event!

    I received a huge quote from a competing company. I sent the same request to EEL and they could do what I wanted even bigger, and better for $1k less.

    While working with EEL I think I sent a total of 4 emails, and talked on the phone once, and they made my fairytale backdrop even better than I could ever have imagined. They reached out to my banquet hall and worked directly with them on all logistics. I have no idea when it arrived or got picked up, or any of the details I didn't need to know because they took care of it all. I literally told them what I had in mind and then...

    EEL was absolutely wonderful. We needed drapery because our ceremony was in the same space as our reception. Jay and his team were extremely responsive and from our research, the were the best value for our needs. The drapery was absolutely beautiful and they took it down in less than 15 minutes during cocktail hour-EEL staff were so efficient and wonderful. We are so happy we found them!

    They did a great job at my wedding! They turned a dark patio into a charming area to get some fresh air by hanging beautiful cafe lights. They also added uplighting to the surrounding areas to help highlight the fall landscape and foliage during my reception. They were great to work with and knew exactly how to make the reception space perfect! Thanks again!
