    Amazing Experience!

    I am so happy that we went with Illumeme for all our lighting needs! We had our wedding at Vizcaya in September and Shannon and his team transformed our tent into a visual dream! He is such a pleasure to work with and helped answer any and all questions I had along the way. I would highly recommend Illumene for all of your lighting and production needs!

    Dream = reality!

    W-O-W! Absolutely stunning work! Ilumene was one of the first vendors we elected after deciding our wedding venue @ The Deering Estate. There was a little mix up where Ilumene thought they wouldn’t be able to cover us for our date, but they made it work. Shannon was a joy to work with throughout the process and was able to advise me on what we needed without going overboard and respecting our budget – this was greatly appreciated by a bride planning a Miami wedding from all the way out in California! Would highly recommend, especially if you intend to have an outdoor wedding with string lighting ☺ It looked/felt absolutely magical!

    In retrospect, I wish I had hired this vendor instead of the lighting vendor I choose.

    Illumene was so responsive to any requests, their pricing was completely reasonable and they helped me with follow up questions after my wedding even though they were not the partner we choose.

    The most amazing and experienced lighting vendor at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens by far! When we came to Miami from overseas to see our venue, we fell in love with it instantly and couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Little did we know, how challenging this venue actually was. You need a team of real experts to make sure that everything runs smoothly there. Shannon and his guys are that perfect team. We met with a few lighting companies and even one DJ company that were trying to sell us a lighting package but I'm so happy we went with ILLUMENE. Shannon had so many creative ideas for us and wanted to make sure that my vision for lighting was executed to perfection. You could see that he really knows his stuff.

    We had like a million tiny lights (fairy lights) covering the ceiling of a see-through tent at Vizcaya, it looked out of this world beautiful. Our guests were wowed by our beautiful lighting design. We couldn't have been more proud of the style we chose and the level of execution that Illumene delivered.

    Also, someone mentioned here that they offer giant candles. Get them if you can afford them! Ours were decorating the aisle and walk-ways of the museum - so beautiful and unique!

    One of my favorite vendors ever! You can't go wrong booking them.

    This company is AMAZING! Shannon Powell and his team are easy to work with! He returns calls and texts immediately and is willing to go the extra mile for their clients. He assured us that the lighting for our daughter's wedding would be beautiful and it exceeded our expectations. Thank you for helping to make all our dreams come true!!!!

    Used them for lighting - everything looked amazing. They quickly adjusted to the emergency tent that had to go up and were extremely professional.

    Fantastic work by Illumene! I don't want to brag but our wedding was so insanely beautiful : ) Yeah, I do want to brag, LOL. We had 8 chandeliers and mini-lights in the tent as well as these gorgeous giant candles in pathways of Vizcaya gardens. We received so many complements from our guests. I couldn't have been happier with the work Shannon and his team did for us. I highly recommend them to other brides.

    This is a long time overdo but hey life happens. "Wow, the best ever!" falls a bit short when describing Shannon and Greg. I had this crazy vision of creating a soft warm aquatic feel to my wedding. In short I wanted the room to look like the opening of the little mermaid. Yes my obsession of the Little Mermaid transfered to my wedding theme, don't judge. While explaining said childhood vision to the team at Illumene and my lighting budget they simply said no problem. I quickly had an itemized quote with optional upgrades, which was awesome. I like to know where my money is going, line item by line item. I didn't appreciate blanket quotes, they are confusing to say the least. Shannon and Greg took the time to not only explain the equipment they were bringing but showed me what it would look like. I now understood what a gobo was and how breakout patterns transform a room to look like a coral reef. Working with them was one of the highlights of planning my wedding. When I would leave them crazy voicemails with random questions at ungodly hours. They would call me back cracking Star Wars jokes to ease my anxiety. To simply put it these amazing miracle workers dealt with my crazy and created a magical experience for my wedding. I knew lighting was an area that was going to be a bigger ticket item on my budget but this experience was priceless.

    We loved our lighting so much! The team at Illumene went above and beyond for us and even made a custom lighting setup for our ceremony. We requested for chandeliers to be hung from the trees, it was spectacular. They communicated with other vendors including my florist and were so easy to work with. My favorite vendor for sure.

    We wanted to take a quick minute to say a million thank yous to Shannon and his team at Illumene for an amazing job well done at our wedding on Saturday. Shannon worked closely with our day-of coordinator to formulate a viable Plan B given the weather-related drama (i.e Hurricane Matthew) at the very end. My husband and I were incredibly grateful for the extra effort (and even more grateful that the universe smiled on us and gave us AMAZING weather).

    The bistro lights inside and outside made the whole day seem like a dream in the best way - we changed up the lighting layout to have these over the dance floor after giving it some thought and Shannon was more than accommodating. We have only wonderful things to say about the Illumene team - they were total pros through and through, arriving promptly for both set up an break down. Providing payment was a breeze too, as they have the option to submit payments directly through their site, which was really convenient.

    If you're looking for lighting for your next event, look no further. You're in great hands with Illumene!

    Shannon and his team were AMAZING! Everything prior to and during our wedding was handled professionally! The string lighting was absolutely beautiful. Illumene was of the first and, ultimately, easiest vendors to work with that we booked. Thank you so much!

    Shannon and his team were GREAT since minute 1! For us, as a Miami Wedding Planning Studio we strive for professionalism, punctuality, kindness and excellence in what our vendors do. These guys were AMAZING!!! Our bride Katy was super happy with them and with the final room result. I have to say the room looked stunning, way beyond our expectations! Very nice job guys!

    These guys were SPOT ON. Our wedding looked absolutely amazing, they were super reliable and on time (a rare thing in Miami) and they were more than happy to help with everything else in the room. The workers were so nice and just so accommodating. I highly recommend this team to come hook you up. Shannon is a great guy and knows his stuff. Trust him, you wont be disappointed.

    Illumene did a fantastic job with the lighting during our wedding! They supplied uplights, bistro lighting, spot lights, pin lights, and draping for the walls. Shannon was great to work with, very professional and listened to what we wanted. Lighting, I believe, is very important as it helps set the mood for the kind of wedding you want to have. It is impeccably done if it goes by unnoticed, but everyone still comments on how great the atmosphere is. Shannon definitely helped us achieve that. He had great suggestions and was not pushy on unnecessary things. We were taken back by how beautiful the lighting look when we first entered the room, helping everything else in that room become even more amazing! We are very happy with the end product and would work with Illumene again... thank you so much

    Shannon and his lighting crew turned our outdoor Morikami wedding into a romantic movie scene-- it was everything I hoped for and more! Super responsive to all my inquiries, easy to work with, kind and easy going. Just what a bride needs. Thank you for a beautiful night under the stars and bistro lighting :)

    The cafe string lights Illumene's team provided gave a subtle romantic ambiance to our wedding and put a finishing touch to the Tuscan feel our guests enjoyed during dinner. The lights were put up seamlessly and lit the courtyard beautifully!

    Illumene's owner, Shannon, is awesome and knew exactly what to do and what we would need for lighting to get the effects we wanted. He was so responsive to my emails/calls/texts, and had an answer for each one of my questions, as well as some great suggestions. Illumene truly transformed our venue into something special, and I could not be happier with everything they did for us. I highly, highly recommend them, and their other company Liquid DJs.

    If you care about lighting at your wedding, look no further than Illumene. As I mentioned in my review of Liquid DJs, Illumene really did a fantastic job with the lighting at my wedding two weeks ago. They literally provide a lighting guy next to your DJ and are able to control how the lighting in the ballroom changes throughout the night, from the introductions, to the first dance, to the actual party. No detail was spared and they made everything look great.

    We hired Illumene after seeing their work at a friends wedding. I saw such beautiful lighting at their wedding that I didn't even interview another company for my mine, just Illumene. The draping was so beautiful with uplights on it, our monogram came out perfect and dealing with the company was easy from the beginning. I highly recommend Illumene Event lighting for your event!

    Wow, I had no idea how lighting could totally transform the place - everything was beautiful. We are super happy with how everything turned out. I honestly can't wait to see pictures because there were so many things I think I missed in the swirl.

    Thanks again for a great experience and for putting us at ease throughout everything!

    We worked with this Lighting company through Liquid DJ's and they were absolutely fantastic. We knew nothing about lighting and walked them through our vision of what we were looking for and they explained everything in detail so we knew exactly what we were getting. They also did not try and up sell us and told us how to get the best deal for what we were looking for. They also showed us many pictures so we could get a perfect understanding of what each element looked like before we chose it.

    The day of was exactly what we both envisioned and provided the perfect ambiance for our wedding. I now can't imagine not having gone with the lighting we chose for the wedding as it definitely would not have been the same!
