Meet Our Visionaries
We absolutely loved working with Kristin & Chris. They were very responsive, and shared examples of what our wedding venue could look like. It was definitely helpful. The last week leading up to our wedding, the venue made unexpected changes where Kristin & Chris had to rearrange their schedules and make quick decisions on how to make our vision work with the changes. With such positive and professional attitude, they really put me at ease. They really went above and beyond and I’m grateful for their support. The drapery, greenery, and lights were amazing and really changed the whole feel of the room. Many compliments from the guests! We highly recommend!

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
We chose ILLUME to do ceiling draping at Succop Conservancy for my daughter’s wedding and were beyond pleased! Kristin was a pleasure to work with and so helpful with all questions we had. They transformed the very nice pavilion into a lovely, elegant wedding reception space. Everyone was so impressed- especially the bride and groom! I highly recommend ILLUME for any draping needs you have!

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 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.
