Meet Our Visionaries
When you plan your wedding, you want it to be perfect. From the big things all the way down to the little details. If there is anyone who understands the importance of that, it’s Kristin from Illume! Kristin was not only professional and friendly throughout the planning process but she was prompt to reply to emails and was able to pick up on the important details that I was describing for the wedding décor and made it come to life. We had chosen to go with artificial flowers for our centerpieces and when I tell you that you would never know they were artificial, you truly wouldn’t know that they were artificial. Illume only uses quality products and the pictures don’t do their work justice. These floral were so life like, I even thought they were real. Kristin insured that the décor that she was bringing to the event would perfectly blend and flow with the décor that I DIYed myself. With how detail oriented I am, it was hard to “give up the rains” to someone else to assist with the décor for our wedding, but at the end of the day I’m only one person and knew that I needed the help to pull off all that I had in mind. After meeting Kristin I knew that I was in excellent hands. Illume has a wide variety of centerpieces and a lighting options which made putting everything together for our wedding easy and fun. If you are looking for someone who can custom create lighting and center pieces for your next event, Illume Lighting + Event Design is who you NEED to hire. I can’t recommend them enough!

Discover Your Possibilities
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.

Below are just a few of the immersive spaces we have created to bring our client’s visions to life.
Working with Illume was so easy! They are not only very experienced and professional but extremely flexible and knowledgeable which allows them to really make your dream wedding come true! Chris and Kristin worked to even create pieces for our wedding they didn’t have to make our dream wedding a reality! During some tough times, Illume’s pro services they provide and their ability to work with other vendors seamlessly was the backbone for our wedding! They really will make your vision come alive, and do it while being a joy to work with!
