ILLUME Lighting + Event Design - Eighty Four, Pennsylvania

Melina M.

When I began planning my wedding, I was searching for more than just a decorator; I needed someone who could keep me organized and truly bring my vision to life. That’s exactly what I found with ILLUME Lighting and Event Design. They transformed a pole barn, which had never hosted a wedding before, into an rustic elegant setting beyond my wildest dreams.
From start to finish, Chris and Kristen ensured that every detail was perfect. They went above and beyond, custom crafting elements that truly amazed me, to even embracing more of a wedding planner role. Their creativity and dedication throughout the entire process were incredible. They took on my unique ideas with enthusiasm and never once said that anything was impossible. They genuinely bent over backwards to make my vision a reality.
Along the way, these once-strangers became like family to me. Their commitment to bringing my dream to life is something I can’t fully express in words. I am forever grateful to have them apart of our day. I wholeheartedly recommend ILLUME to anyone looking to create a stunning and unforgettable experience. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to excellence made my day absolutely magical!

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.

Chris and Kristin were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. In meetings, they were great at explaining all the options we had to best bring our vision to life. Pictures show their amazing work including draping, signage, centerpiece candles, table numbers, initial projection, cookie table bridges, and more! Photos by MichaelWill Photographers

I had the pleasure of working alongside Chris and Kristen for the CFFC Gala - when you walked into the venue space, it was like entering a different world. It was absolutely beautiful. As a vendor for the event, they also treated me with great respect, were so friendly, and were on top of everything. I would highly recommend working with them for your event!

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!

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! 🙂

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!

We had heard a lot of great things about Chris and his decorations from our vendor coordinator, and he definitely lived up to the hype! He gave great advice on our phone consultation on what he thought would work well, and gave us options for us to choose from. His invoicing and contracts were all online and super easy to do, and made it very clear what each party’s obligations were.

About a month before, Chris checked in to make sure we wanted to change anything up before the event or had any questions, which was great to make sure we had what we needed.

We wanted our lighting to make the venue seem smaller and more intimate, and it did exactly that. We were really pleased with how it turned out, and got loads of compliments on the set up. It looked great! The best thing a vendor could do for us is give us the feeling we had nothing to worry about leading up to and on our wedding day. Chris did exactly that. Thank you!
