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 provides beautiful draping for my wedding. I had met with him once prior to my wedding, but he executed my vision perfectly. I sent him a picture of what I wanted and it was beautiful. The morning of my wedding him and his team came in and set up everything and I did not have to worry about a single thing. I got so many compliments about the draping and I could not be happier with the results! ILLUME Lighting + Design is very easy to work with because they are very responsive and work to make sure your vision is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them 100% for any draping and lighting you may need!

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
Chris and his team at ILLUME provided a variety of services for my wedding including ceiling drapery, a backdrop for our head tables, drapery for our ceremony structure, illuminated monogram, uplighting, pin spot lighting, etc., all of which made the ballroom absolutely breathtaking. It felt like we were walking into a fairy tale! Chris was so responsive and easy to work with during the whole process. He has great ideas and really works to ensure every design is unique. He even took the time to meet with us at our venue a few months before the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page and to relieve any stress that comes with planning such an event! We couldn’t have been happier and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was! Thank you ILLUME!

We create unique designs that are one-of-a-kind.
Below are just a few of the immersive spaces we have created to bring our client’s visions to life.
Chris from ILLUME did specialized lighting and drapery for our wedding in June 2019. He created this beautiful bistro lighting to replace the ugly industrial looking lights in our space, as well as this amazing drapery that divided our room in two for ceremony and reception. I could not BELIEVE how spectacular the drapery looked for how little it cost! I was envisioning this little room divider, but it was a whole floor to ceiling luxe extravaganza! Also helped us hang a customized neon sign I had made. Highest recommendation!
