Make the Space More Inviting for Those You’re Inviting with 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 one-of-a-kind.
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.

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
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Working with Kristin and Chris at Illume was the best decision my husband and I could have ever made! After searching for a lighting or decorating company that could transform our vision and stay within our budget, we found Illume, and WE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER. Kristin helped calm our nerves and really took our vision and ideas above and beyond our expectations for our wedding. From hanging some of our personal neon signs, perfecting the placement of our centerpieces, transforming the space with hanging candles, wisteria, and greenery, creating a beautiful background arch, and providing beautiful purple up-lighting; we were truly awestruck when we walked into our reception! Kristin was so easy to communicate with and they both did such amazing work. The only regret we have, is that we can’t do it all over again and use them again, because it truly was magical! I cannot recommend Illume more! They truly transformed our reception space into a beautiful, enchanted forest. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙂
