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…
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 totally transformed our church hall (almost like a cafeteria) into a soft romantic space that truly set the tone. He was awesome to work with – he met with us in the hall twice and developed a creative vision – an airwall to cut off the empty space and make an inviting entrance; another airwall to hide the kitchen pass-through & door and ugly switches, etc.; a starburst ceiling with fairy lights He was very sensitive to our budget and really worked with us. The setup was meticulous, too – they made the draping fall just right. The room was breathtaking, no one could believe the transformation. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

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
Kristin & Chris were the best to work with and truly turned our wedding vision into a reality. Everything that we talked about came to life and they were very flexible to work with. Our previous decorator fell through and ILLUME seamlessly handled it all they even found a florist & chair rental company. They brought my bouquet and the chairs to the venue for us. They did everything from set up to tear down. They took so much stress off of me for that day. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to rent decorations and have them make your vision a reality as well.

Below are just a few of the immersive spaces we have created to bring our client’s visions to life.
Chris and the Illume team went above and beyond for my wedding day. They were totally open to trying new things that I had for my vision and absolutely killed it! Everything came out stunning and months later I still have people commenting on how beautiful the details were. Last minute we found out we weren’t allowed to hang chandeliers I had poured my heart and soul into making and I was devastated. Chris took over and came up with a completely new concept and hung them outside over the walkway into our reception- it was amazing! 10/10 would recommend Illume.
