Pittsburgh Wedding & Event Decorator

Make the Space More Inviting for Those You’re Inviting with a Unique Event Design.

You’ve been to a dozen events that all look the same. Same linen. Same flowers.

Clearly the same Pinterest inspiration.

You want something different. Something…

Innovative. Exciting. Memorable. Unforgettable. Breathtaking.

Show-stopping events don’t just happen.

And you can’t just add sparkly linens or colorful uplights to create something special.

They require passion, expertise, and ingenuity.

That’s where we come in.

Meet Our Visionaries

Chris and Kristin were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. In meetings, they were great at explaining all the options we had to best bring our vision to life. Pictures show their amazing work including draping, signage, centerpiece candles, table numbers, initial projection, cookie table bridges, and more!

Above & Beyond Experience

Professional Process + No Limits Design

Step 01. DISCOVERY + DESIGN

We start by listening to your ideas and learning about you, your style, and your needs. We discover how you want your day to look and feel. Then we create a one-of-a-kind design that knows no limits.

Step 02. PREPARATION + PRODUCTION

If it’s not on our shelves, and we can’t find what you want, we’ll create it for you. Our team spends countless hours making our own drapery, building custom decor structures, and earnestly preparing for your event.

Step 03. TRANSFORMATION

Our team comes prepared and ready to transform your space. From start to finish, we ensure everything is of the highest quality. And we don’t rest until we’ve accomplished the unforgettable atmosphere you and your guests deserve.

Discover Your Possibilities

Honestly, I am at a loss of words for how beautiful they made my wedding day! Kristin & Chris, we’re not only amazing to work with but fun! You can absolutely tell they love what they do just by their work. I told them my vision and they made it come to life and then some! My mom & I were on search for a cart for my daughter to ride down the isle in, they made it happen and even made the plain cart come to life to match all my other decor. We needed extra tables? They had our back on that too! Help deciding on center pieces for head tables we were stuck on making a decision they gave recommendations that would work, we used that recommendation and it was totally worth it!! they are all around just amazing! I would recommend their services to absolutely anyone!! I wish I could get married all over again just so I can give my business all over again. If 10,000 was an option I would give them 100,000 they are that great!! Thank you both so much for all your hard work!

Hire ILLUME Lighting and Event Design and you won’t be sorry! I had one planning meeting with them and we ironed out all of the details of what I would need for the day. I told them I wanted drapery and swagging for our back drop at the ceremony and they created a beautiful back drop! They were also quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the process. Best of all, I had not one worry about the rentals at all.
